According to Aztec mythology, Xolotl was a deity normally associated with Quetzalcoatl, one of the most important gods in the Aztec pantheon. As a matter of fact, Xolotl was regarded to be the twin of Quetzalcoatl.

It takes much willpower to resist the temptation of the asparas; beautiful dancing women in the court of Indra, king of the gods, in the celestial palace in Hindu mythology.

A Glimpse into the Intuitive Medicine of the Native American Tradition
Many centuries ago, in a land that is quite familiar to the modern American (in some forgotten, ethereal way)....
A native boy scurries through a thicket of bramble bushes.
