Teotihuacán means ‘The City of the Gods’ or “Where Men Become Gods” (in Nahuatl). It is located in the valley of the same name 30 miles north of Mexico City. The city was inhabited between 400 BC and 650 AD with its collapse from 650—750 AD. The three ‘holy sites’ of Teotihuacán were its pyramids: the temple of the Sun, Moon and Feathered Serpent. True to the East Indian theology that the sun came from the moon we find that the first temple built was the Temple of the Moon (Psilocybin). Next the temple of the Sun was built, much larger than the Moon. Archeologists believe that the Temple of the Sun had been painted red and white.
The last temple built was the temple of the Feathered Serpent. While it was built some sixteen prisoners were tied and sealed alive into its walls as a sacrifice to this deity. Naturally, the devil being so sneaky as to convince the world that he never existed has left only positive descriptions of himself by way of descriptions of the Feathered Serpent. Yet, the careful researcher will find the truth out. Above is the temple of the Sun, once red and white for the Amanita muscaria—Santa Claus’ mushroom and also Beelzebub's. The Quiche Maya refer to it as “the evil mushroom.”
Teotihuacán temple art is rich with sacramental symbolism. Take for instance the masked figure above, his mouth is covered with the symbol for wind (i.e. spirit) while his ears have the same symbols as Xochipilli... Identified with the spiritual ‘hear-aid’ of Psilocybin, you can easily see why these symbols were used when you compare them to these Psilocybe mexicana at left. As for the association with the moon, well that is because A. muscaria already took the symbol of the sun and Psilocybe are much paler...
Here we have an original Teotihuacán incense burning. As with most ancient religions, incense was more potent the further you go back. While we read about frankincense and mur in the Bible, it was with Opium leaves that the Jewish temple columns were covered in... The residents of Teotihuacán did not suffer to cover these facts up—it was an age of faith. Here we can identify the Opium Poppy capsules, a yellow Angle Trumpet, grape bunches, a scallop shell and a flower with a tendril—most likely morning glory.
Goddess worship seems to have taken up roots during this era between the Olmec and the Toltec/Maya periods. Here we see a goddess or priestess, with gold and blue mushrooms in her ears but also with a necklace of morning glories and a branch of tendril flowers that are sure to be the Morning Glories. Mesoamerican cultures had a tendency to lean to the Snake Plant more than the Mushrooms in part because the Morning Glories could be grown in great abundance along the river side, while mushrooms were seasonal. Careful examination shows a merging of the two distinct spiritual “plants.”
Above you see the twin Morning Glories of Mesoamerica: Ololiuqui and Tlitliltzin whose seeds are crushed to produce the liquid that is drunk. One vine is painted red while the other is painted yellow, each vine branch ends with a Morning Glory shaped flower with eyes in it. The central priests hands give off this liquid potion and two tendrils extend above each hand to show that it is Morning Glories. Mushrooms are also found sprouting up from the liquid that each flower pours out. This is a reversal of the tradition that the Moon (Psilocybe) is the father and creator of all, the Serpent has supplanted the Jaguar...
Here in Teotihuacan, we see the merger that the Olmecs avoided, the Jaguar with the scallop shells lining his back is drinking from a Morning Glory conch shell vessel with a distinctive tendril in its base and flower symbols along the top. Above are emblems of Toloc—a deity associated with wind/water, is typified by the basic mushroom symbol which looks just like the “M” in mushroom. Next to Toloc is the star symboled deity, it is arguably representative of the Morning Glory, but could also be an unknown deity ascribed to the star shaped cactus containing Mescaline, the Trichocereus family. Commonly called San Pedro, it has been documented to have been used as early as 3000 B.C. The archaeologist Rosa Fung, found the remains of this cactus rolled up into cigar-like form that were dated back to 2200 B.C. Supposedly the cactus was named after Saint Peter because it was, like Peter, thought to hold the keys to heaven.
The Temple of the Feathered Serpent was the last temple to be built. Some time not long after its dedication, the city rebelled and abandoned the site. Fire was thrown onto the Fathered Serpents temple… The other temples were left undisturbed. Here you see the serpents head, with the universal spiral conch shell next to it—its symbol. It is likely, because scallop shells are also found on the temples fasad as well as the rain deity Toloc that the usurping of the Mushrooms to be an underling of the Morning Glory was well underway. Naturally, the human sacrifices that this Snake Plant induced its priests to commit lead to the burning of its temple and the abandonment of Teotihuacán. By examining the outer flower leaf and petal clasping of the seed capsules themselves we can see where the head of the serpent gets its corona.
These three highly decorative green stones were found inside the Temple of the Feathered Serpent at Teotihuacán. Notice how their shape is closely matched to the seed capsules of the Morning Glories themselves. Notice also that the bottoms are not flat or flush but are ground so that the edges have been worn away. These are the stones used to grind the seeds of what the Aztecs called the Green Snake Plant, they are in effect the same thing as a mortar and pestle. Turn back a few pages and you will see that the goddess emerges from what look like mountain shapes but are in fact the same clasping cones that hold the seed pod to the vine. Hence the Mother Goddess has long since been associated with the spiral as derived from the tendril. Mesoamerican legend has it that long ago the Morning Glories used to be an “upright” plant, standing on its own stalk. Can you see between the lines here? “And the snake was cursed for deciving Eve, no longer could it stand upright. Enmity was put between women and the serpent and its head was crushed…”
