Tradition summary
Mixcoatl is the cloud-serpent seen in the streaming Milky Way, god of the hunt and the first to draw fire from wood.
Mythic Dream reflection
to dream of him is to follow a single bright track across the dark, patient and unhurried, trusting that the path itself will bring you home.
Literary reflections
These fragments are original Mythic Dream writing, offered as prompts rather than historical source material.
With his bow of clouds and his darts he brings down the wandering deer of the night, and the four hundred children of the north follow behind him in a cold, quiet host.
He was the first to turn the fire-drill in dry wood and spin a flame from nothing, and the long smear of stars overhead is the trail of his hunting still.
