Notes: Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent) and Tezcatlipoca (Smoking Mirror), the two principal gods of the Aztec religion, represented conscious intelligence and the unconscious “shadow” in the mind. In 1519, with the appearance of Cortez and his soldiers, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca met, and the Aztecs were destroyed.
