“Bassett at last provides a path to understand better the specifically Aztec characteristics of the teteoh and their ritual ‘embodiments.’” —Ethnohistory Following their first contact in 1519, accounts of Aztecs identifying Spaniards as gods proliferated. But what exactly did the Aztecs mean by a “god” (teotl), and how could human beings become gods or take on godlike properties? This sophisticated, interdisciplinary study analyzes three concepts that are foundational to Aztec religion—teotl (god), teixiptla (localized embodiment of a god), and tlaquimilolli (sacred bundles containing precious objects)—to shed new light on the Aztec understanding of how spiritual beings take on form and agency in the material world. In The Fate of Earthly Things, Molly Bassett draws on ethnographic fieldwork, linguistic analyses, visual culture, and ritual studies to explore what ritual practices such as human sacrifice and the manufacture of deity embodiments (including humans who became gods), material effigies, and sacred bundles meant to the Aztecs. She analyzes the Aztec belief that wearing the flayed skin of a sacrificial victim during a sacred rite could transform a priest into an embodiment of a god or goddess, as well as how figurines and sacred bundles could become localized embodiments of gods. Without arguing for unbroken continuity between the Aztecs and modern speakers of Nahuatl, Bassett also describes contemporary rituals in which indigenous Mexicans who preserve costumbres (traditions) incorporate totiotzin (gods) made from paper into their daily lives. This research allows us to understand a religious imagination that found life in death and believed that deity embodiments became animate through the ritual binding of blood, skin, and bone.

"The scholarship in this book is superior, revealing a depth of insight and a scope of knowledge possible only from a scholar who has lived with the concerns of feminist theology for decades. Ruether is a gifted storyteller, and lucidly translates complex ideas and debates. This work is of the highest importance, and Ruether asks the right questions at the right time. The text is groundbreaking."—Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Saint Mary's College of California "Ruether has provided a valuable introduction to an important feminist topic: what can we know about sacred female imagery in Western culture? She guides us through contemporary feminist scholarship, providing engaging narrative, and venturing her own interpretations. Ruether calls for feminists to move beyond divisions created by our different interpretations of prehistory and work together towards our common project of a more peaceful, just, and ecological world."—Carol Hepokoski, Meadville Lombard Theological School

A year has passed since the ancient gods of myth and legend returned and irrevocably changed humankind as we know it. All across the earth, survivors of the initial onslaught have now abandoned their faith in the modern world and have begun to worship the pagan deities once again. The United States hangs perilously close to ruin as the newly resurgent Aztec Empire begins its final assault against the country. In this maelstrom of chaos and destruction, a small of group of individuals holds the key to either stop or to aid this terrible menace. Across these devastated lands, Tara Weiss searches for her lost brother, aided by the trickster god and the vampire-like Patrick Gyle. Tyrone Gatlin, a US Army deserter, is guided by dreams of a great spirit as he makes a dangerous journey across the flooded areas of the Deep South. Tepiltzin, high priest of the flayed god Xipe Totec, is torn between devotion to his family and of his responsibilities in the new empire. Meanwhile, Detective Valerie Mendoza travels across the nightmarish landscapes of Hell in order to find and rescue the one man she loves, Dr. Paul Dane. The Wrath of the Old Gods series features a unique blend of multiple genres that encompasses mythology, real world politics, fantasy, horror, war, survival and high adventure, all wrapped up in a thrilling, post-apocalyptic setting. This is John Triptych at his very best!
