The protector of day Cuauhtli (Eagle) and the provider of the Shadow Soul or Tonalli is Xipe Totec, god of the shedding of skins, God of Seedtime, the elemental force of rebirth. Cuauhtli is a day of fighting for freedom and equality. It is a day of the Warriors of Huitzilopochtli, those who sacrifice their lives willingly to keep the present age, the Fifth Sol, moving. It is a good day for action, a bad day for reflection. A good day for invoking the gods, a bad day for ignoring them.
