Normally, when it comes to us Aztec Gods, my twin brother Quetzalcoatl gets all the fame and glory, but I think that I should be getting my share because one of my jobs was to guide the dead to Mictlan, the Aztec Underworld.
Sure my brother is better looking than me, not hard as I had the head of a dog with empty eye sockets and skeletons feet but looks are not everything but suddenly finding yourself deceased is no fun especially as nobody tells you any of these things so while you are wandering around feeling confused and wondering what are you supposed to do and where do you go, that's where I step in, Xolotl to the rescue.
When I'm not guiding souls to the afterlife I can be seen hanging out in the nightime sky as Venus and helping to guide the Sun on its journey through the Underworld every night and also at all the big sporting events matches because i am also the God of Ball games and can play my part in ensuring victory for my favoured side or player in any game which uses a ball.
Your team got a big game coming up? Sacrifice a virgin or two before kick off and i may find my way to tripping up the left back at a vital moment or 'accidentally' tipping off the bails of the cricket wicket. As a twin myself, i do hold a great affection for twins and even more so if one is born with a dogs head which kinda narrows it down a bit but i do try and do my best.
I do pride myself on being quite approachable so next time you see a golf ball roll around the rim of the hole and inexplicably not drop in or see me up in the evening sky, give me a little wave and say hi because after all, it's certain you’ll be needing me when you’re dead and standing there looking at your lifeless body all confused.
