The New Fire ritual was the most important celebration of the Aztecs
Nanahuatl would at the end of a 52 year period commit an act of self immolation

As he was being born in the high heavens
He kindled a blaze which illuminated the sky

In Vedic lore Agni fills the air with his shine
Upholds the quarters by his lustre
And props up the sky with his light

A new creation was accomplished every 52 years by 4 streams of fire
Which was accompanied by the greening of the cosmos

They were 4 plasma filaments that radiated outward
The 4 rivers of Genesis that sprang out from the same source
And the 4 winds that emanated from the Locus flower of the brightening sun

The Center of the Cosmos was the 4 quarters where 4 streams of blood flowed into the 4 quarters of the universe
Giving it energy and life

This was the quincunx that emanated from Venus
The Native Blackfoot Arapaho and Kiowa tribes represent Venus as a cruciform
Xiuhtecuhtli was pictured with a luminous turquoise head gear with quin crosses

The cross of sacrifice was also the 4 petaled lotus flower
The 4 petaled lotus flower is the 4 quarters of the universe
And the 4 streams of blood colored plasma

Every 52 years the Aztecs performed a sacrifice where the victims heart was ripped out
Mars was the heart of Saturn
Venus was the soul
After 52 years Mars would leave and drift down the axis

After Agni who was Mars was sacrificed
He became the Universal Sovereign

He was red in appearance and swayed side to side
His brilliant rays penetrated everywhere

You could not look into his face
So intensely did he shine
He would make one blinded by his light

The fire of Agni was the masculine power
And was conceptualized as a sexual act between cosmic powers

The Egyptian god Set resided within a 4 petaled lotus flower
It was from the flower where the ancient sun god blossomed its vibrance onto the world

In the lost sky the floral formed sun dominated the celestial landscape
Every 52 years the balance of the cosmos was threatened by an influx of cosmic energy
Which manifested as a snake curling itself around the north celestial pole

When Tehom is beaten back
And when Tiamat is defeated
The world order begins anew!
