The gods of the Aztecs often have their roots in the faiths of other contemporary nations or ancient Mesoamerican religions. The term "pan-Mesoamerican gods and goddesses" describes such divine figures. The Aztecs believed that the gods were in charge of everything, including the weather, farming, fertility, and warfare. Huitzilopochtli, Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, & Xipe Totec are the most important Aztec gods. These gods have been the children god Ometecuhtli. These are the four most significant Aztec gods. However, there are many others to investigate.
