Teotihuacan

The Tonalpohualli

Patron Gods of the 20 Days and 13-Day Periods

These Teteo are associated with particular day signs both as individual days and as 13-day periods beginning with the first of that day sign. (For example, Xochipilli is associated with the grouping of 13 days that begin with 1-Cipactli.)
