Xōchipilli

 Welcome to the 16th. Another day, another god. 

Sorry, this one is Aztec. I generally avoid them because they're a lot bloodier than I like thinking about, but this one just had to be mentioned. 

Xōchipilli's name translates to 'Flower Prince' and he has a twin who is the goddess of feminine fertility and grace, while he takes the masculine side, alongside some other stuff. 

Notably, he's also the god of homosexuals and male prostitutes. 

Let that sit in your mind for a minute. 

Now that you've thought about it, here's the thing that's weird. How could we possibly know that? 

We've got some statues of him and some descriptions of his celebrations, which involved a lot of prostitution and promiscuity. 

We've also got some accounts of him from people who encountered the culture. 

And, you know, archaeology is awesome and interesting. 

But, since he's still Aztec, I'm going to avoid him more. Have fun investigating yourself.
