Tláloc

The Tlaloque (pronounced "tlah-LOH-keh") were a group of rain deities in Aztec mythology, closely associated with the god Tlaloc, the deity of rain, fertility, and lightning. The term "Tlaloque" translates to "companions of Tlaloc" or "children of Tlaloc" in the Nahuatl language, the language of the Aztecs. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as חבריו של טלאלק or בניו של טלאלק. The Tlaloque were often depicted as dwarf-like figures with goggle eyes and fangs, and they were believed to reside in the mountains, caves, and springs, where they controlled the rains and waters. They were both feared and revered, as they could bring both life-giving rains and destructive floods. The Tlaloque were also associated with agricultural fertility and were often invoked during droughts or other agricultural crises. Their worship involved rituals and sacrifices, including the offering of children, to ensure the continued favor of these powerful deities.
