Coyolxauhqui is an important goddess in the Aztec pantheon. She was considered the goddess of the moon, the stars, and the Milky Way, and was often depicted as a young woman adorned with lunar symbols such as crescent moons and starbursts. Her name is derived from the Nahuatl words coyolli (bells) and xauhqui (cheek), which translates to "she of the golden bells on her cheeks."
In Aztec mythology, Coyolxauhqui is known for her role in the story of the god Huitzilopochtli. According to legend, Coyolxauhqui and her 400 brothers, known as the Centzon Huitznahua, conspired to kill their mother, Coatlicue, because they believed she had become pregnant through an act of adultery. When Huitzilopochtli, the unborn child, heard of the plot, he sprang from his mother's womb fully armed and ready for battle. He decapitated Coyolxauhqui and cast her body down the steps of the great temple in Tenochtitlan, which is now modern-day Mexico City.
To work with Coyolxauhqui in witchcraft, you can create a lunar altar with offerings such as moonstone, silver, and white candles. She is associated with balance, transformation, and the cycles of the moon, so you can work with her to align yourself with the natural rhythms of life. Offerings of flowers, incense, and sweet foods like honey and chocolate are also appropriate.
Some herbs that are connected to Coyolxauhqui include lavender, jasmine, and yarrow, which can be used in teas or as aromatherapy.
