Must-Have Hoodies Inspired By Aztec Warrior For You

 

The Aztec warrior was highly honored in society if he was successful. Success depended on bravery in battle, tactical skill, heroic deeds, and most of all, in capturing enemy warriors. Since every boy and man received military training, all were called for battle when war was in the offing. Both commoners and nobles who captured enemy warriors moved up in military rank or became members of military orders. Many nobles joined the army professionally and functioned as the command core of the army.

While the Aztec economy depended on trade, tribute, and agriculture, the real business of the empire was war. Through war, the Aztec Empire gained tribute from conquered enemies. People captured during the war became slaves or sacrifices in the Aztec religious ceremonies. Expanding the empire through further conquests strengthened the empire and brought more riches in tribute. For this reason, the emperor rewarded successful warriors of both classes with honors, the right to wear certain garments in distinctive colors, nobility for the commoners, and higher status for nobles and land. Every Aztec warrior could, if he captured enemy warriors, advance far in society.

Aztec Warrior Societies


Rank in the military required bravery and skill on the battlefield and the capture of enemy soldiers. With each rank, came special clothing and weapons from the emperor, which conveyed high honor. Warrior clothing, costumes, and weaponry were instantly recognizable in Aztec society.

Tlamani: One captive warrior. Received an undecorated obsidian-edged club and shield, two distinctive capes, and a bright red loincloth.


Cuextecatl: Two captive warriors. This rank enabled the warrior to wear the distinguishing black and red suit called a tlahuiztli, sandals, and a conical hat.


Papalotl: Three captive warriors. Papalotl (butterfly) was awarded a butterfly banner to wear on his back, conferring special honor.


Cuauhocelotl: Four or more captive warriors. These Aztec warriors reached the high rank of Eagle and Jaguar knights.
Eagle and Jaguar Knights


Eagle and Jaguar warriors were the two main military societies, the highest rank open to commoners. In battle, they carried atlatls, bows, spears, and daggers. They received special battle costumes, representing eagles and jaguars with feathers and jaguar pelts. They became full-time warriors and commanders in the army. Great physical strength, battlefield bravery, and captured enemy soldiers were necessary to obtain this rank.

Commoners who reached the vaunted Eagle or Jaguar rank were awarded the rank of noble along with certain privileges: they were given land, could drink alcohol (pulque), wear expensive jewelry denied to commoners, were asked to dine at the palace and could keep concubines. They also wore their hair tied with a red cord with green and blue feathers. Eagle and jaguar knights traveled with the pochteca, protecting them, and guarding their city. While these two ranks were equal, the Eagle knights worshipped Huitzilopochtli, the war god and the Jaguars worshipped Tezcatlipoca.

Because many spiritual searchers may relate to a lone wolf's effort to reclaim their identity and place in the world, the lone wolf is widely discussed in spiritual circles. The lone wolf represents spiritual independence and deviating from the standard in order to find one's inner truth and unite with one's highest self. The lone wolf takes the difficult decision to travel alone rather than stay with the group that is holding them back in life. Lone wolves are self-sufficient, caring, perceptive, and contemplative.
