The Mystery of Quetzalocatl: The Christ of Ancient Mesoamerica?
The central figure in the pantheon of Mesoamerican gods, Quetzalcoatl remains much of a mystery. Considered the creator god, and the messiah of humanity, the Feathered Serpent God was also believed to be a man who actually lived as the son of a Toltec warlord, and yet unlike the traditional Mesoamerican race, Quetzalcoatl was described as blue-eyed, fair skinned, blonde, and bearded. Who was Quetzalcoatl the man, the myth, the messiah?

I thought I’d write about ironweed. I mean, look, I have this really nice photo of ironweed and sunflowers from an Indiana prairie; it captures the essence of the late-summer blooming season, the royal King Arthur kind of purple against the golden sunny glow of the sunflowers. It’s Mother Nature gardening with an artist’s flair. The problem is, I’m not sure I have a lot to say about ironweed.
