Chichitalzolteotl

This is a painting of Tlazolteotl, the Filth Goddess, the divinity of sexuality, as Chichitlazolteotl, our mother. The first part of her title, “chichi,” translates as “the breast,” or, “to breastfeed or suck.” The second part of her name, Tlazolteotl, reverts to the concept over which she has dominion, “Tlazolli.” Tlazollil is trash and refuse; it is all that is disordered and unordered. The concept of Tlazolli is symbolically described by unspun cotton, which she wears as a headband and earring. Unspun cotton is useless, chaotic, and wild. But when spun into thread, that which had been unordered becomes ordered and therefore useful, and can now be spun into cloth. Cloth, in its turn, frays, comes undone, and ultimately returns to a state of uselessness, unorderedness, Tlazolli. Tlazolli is this process, of growth followed by rot, of decay, of messy creation, of sex passion, desire, death, and unordered creation. Tlazolteotl presides over this process, by which all ordered things become unordered, or the reverse. Her mouth is painted black. She is also known as Ixcuina, the Filth Eater. She inspires lust, passion, love, envy, greed, and all the other strong, unbidden emotions which arise in us and often guide us in our actions. However, just as she causes us to feel these emotions, she also cleanses us of them. We can confess our “sins” to her, our disordered actions inspired by her; she eats them, and leaves us clean. Her mouth is therefore black with the filth of our own disordered hearts. On one side of her is the moon, wreathed in darkness. She is associated with night and femininity, and the passions and fertility of the moon are in her domain. She therefore wears the moon as a nose-ring, and also has moons embroidered on her skirt. On its other side is a coil of rope. This symbolizes sacrifice; the self-sacrifice necessary to overcome the emotions she inspires in us and leads lives on the middle path, of restraint and responsibility. She breast feeds a baby, who is strangled by a coral snake. The baby represents us, her children, for she dwells in the hearts of all men. The snake is a symbol of sexuality. She controls us, fills us with lust, leads us to stray, strangles us with passion. However, the snake is cut by an obsidian axe, tied by a rope which emerges from its mouth. This shows us that, although she inspires uncontrollable passion in us, she simultaneously gives us the tools to overcome that which she inspires, through discipline, self-sacrifice, and love. She squats, in the position of a woman giving birth. She gives birth to a bundle of malinalli grass and quetzal feathers, wrapped in paper bows. Malinalli grass symbolizes mortality, death, and reincarnation, while the quetzal feathers symbolize wisdom, fertility, and preciousness. She shows us that the vision of sexuality enjoyed by our ancestors shows sex to simultaneously generate disorder and chaos, to engender crimes of passion through excess, but also as the key through which creativity and new life are created. She is our mother, who gives and takes, who allows us to feel pleasure, to feel love and hate in equal measure.
