Miquiztetl
The cruel Miquiztetl was a deity from the underworld who tried to stop the dead from overcoming the trials of the nine regions. When people died, they had to travel for 4 years, before arriving to Mictlán.
A skillful warrior and twin sister of the God of Dreams, she attacked those who descended to the world of the dead and terrified them with her fierce and skeletal body. She attacked with her weapons and made them fall into different traps that the dead had to overcome, before going through the nine levels that blocked their access to Mictlan.
After a long journey through the underground regions, the dead had to rid of their fears, traps, and tricks of Miquiztetl, to prove that they were capable of freeing their Tonalli (soul) from all the life burdens.
They finally arrived in front of the lord and mistress of death: Mictlantecuhtli and Mictlancíhuatl, rulers of the underworld, who allowed the souls to leave behind all the pain that they had carried during their lives, in order to finally rest in peace.
