Like many ancient cultures, the Aztecs worshipped many different gods and goddesses. Huitzilopochtli, for example, was the god of the sun and war, while Tlaloc was the god of rain. And Mayahuel was the fertility goddess of agave, a succulent plant. Yes, long, long before it became an obsession in the West, and long before colonization, the Aztecs worshipped the agave plant and even drank its juices.
