I am Xipe Totec, god of agriculture, renewal, and the cycles of life and death. I walk among the fields, my hands guiding the seeds into the soil, my presence hidden in the turning of the seasons. I teach mortals that growth comes through change, that new life emerges from the old, and that sacrifice is the path to abundance.
I am the one who strips away the old to reveal the new, who reminds humans that decay and transformation are as vital as sun and rain. My power is fierce and unsettling, yet it is necessary. I show that the harvest is sweetest when the earth is prepared, that life is nourished when death and endings are honored. The people offer me thanks in ritual, in maize, and in dance, recognizing that my cycles sustain them all.
I am Xipe Totec, the Flayed One, the god who renews the world. In every sprouting seed, in every ripening ear of corn, in every life that begins where another ends, I am present. Through me, mortals understand that the passage of time, the shedding of the old, and the coming of new life are all part of the great order that keeps the world turning.
