A colorful flowerbed made up the Aztec calendar and served as an altar in the center of Salinas celebrations for the 14th century founding of México-Tenochtitlán at Northridge Mall this weekend.
This sacred space was overseen by firekeepers from the local cultural group Calpulli Yaocuauhtli, led by its elder, Zipaktonal — her given name, Stella Gloria Morado Najera.
In order to enter the space, firekeepers blessed people with smoke that acknowledged higher energies that define the universe. Leaving the space required walking backward facing the altar, symbolizing reverence.
Dancers — garbed in Aztec and other Mesoamerican regalia — performed around a semicircle, with drummers in front.

The Aztecs were the Nazis of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica.
Speaking of recognizing sacrifices made:

Feeding the gods: Hundreds of skulls reveal massive scale of human sacrifice in Aztec capital
The priest quickly sliced into the captive's torso and removed his still-beating heart. That sacrifice, one among thousands performed in the sacred city of Tenochtitlan, would feed the gods and ensure the continued existence of the world.

Did she cut out any human hearts during the ceremony?
Modern pagans.
The Aztecs were NOT indigenous to the highlands of central Mexico. They were from the north, supposedly from the ancestral homeland of Aztlan, which if it actually existed may have been as far away as present day Utah. They took the land that became Tenochtitlán from the REAL natives living there!
This “celebration” is in Salinas, California, USA? If so, round them up and deport them all.
The line that keeps coming back to me is, “at the mall.” Did Debbie Gibson perform?
maybe all this is a plot by the shopping centre ownership corporation to attract more people to the mall....? After all, malls are losing a lot of customers these days...
and if human sacrifices don’t do the trick,
we can next expect wonderful carnal orgies at the mall, complete with the goddess Tlazoltéotl presiding.
THAT should boost patronage at the mall, for sure!
Quetzalcoatl: You know, we only sacrifice virgins.
14 year old virgin: really?
The vast majority of the men Cortez used to conquer the Aztec capitol were the angry natives of surrounding tribes long enslaved by the blood-thirsty Aztec Imperialists.
The left tries to convince all listeners the conquerors were all honkies:
FALSE.
The Aztec Empire never extended much further then present day Mexico City. Any attempts by them to do so were repulsed by the native peoples here. Aztlan is a myth.

That’s the truth which many try to suppress and bury.
That’s why I wrote “if it actually existed.” However, it’s understood that the Aztecs did come from some place north of present day Mexico City. Likely somewhere within today’s northern Mexico, but some have surmised places even further north.
...and...SUDDENLY...[GASP!!]...separation of church and state isn’t important to the atheists.
