Tlazolteotl, eater of filth. Tlazolteotl, goddess of lust, goddess of shame. When her worshippers, her witches, invoke her, when they invoke her with fire and blood and degradation, she comes to them in the form of a blue butterfly.
Tlazolteotl, devourer of sins. Goddess of witches and witchcraft, she is the crescent moon. She flies naked across the sky, riding on a broomstick. She holds a red snake in one hand, and in the other she holds a coil of blood-smeared rope.
The fallen come to her, the sinful and the monstrous come to her. She will forgive them. She will forgive them for everything.
In the form of a blue butterfly, she visits her chosen few. Those who follow the flight of the blue butterfly will have to crawl through shit. They are luminaries of affliction. They will take all the world's filth in their hands, and transform it into something beautiful. They will breathe in all the suffering of the world, and they will exhale it as compassion.
