Camp Gagnon

🚨Please Rate the Show 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟From the tears of sacrificed children bringing rain to the New Fire Ceremony's cosmic significance, this episode of Religion Camp we explore one of history's most misunderstood religious practices. We're diving deep into Aztec cosmology to understand why they believed these rituals were necessary for the world's survival. How did the rain god Tlaloc's demands shape their society? What role did the mysterious Mesoamerican ballgame play in their sacrificial traditions? And what did Spanish conquistadors actually witness in Tenochtitlan? From skull masks to the feared Xipe Totec—'The Flayed One'—we're examining the complex beliefs behind these controversial practices.
