Tzitzimitl

Tzitzimitl

A Tzitzimītl is a type of celestial deity associated with stars in Aztec mythology. They were depicted as skeletal female figures wearing skirts often with skull and crossbones designs. In post-conquest descriptions they are often described as "demons" or "devils", but this does not necessarily reflect their function in the Cemanahuacan belief system of the Aztecs.
