- According to one of the Aztec myths, Cōātlīcue, the mother of Huītzilōpōchtli (god of the sun and war), was impregnated with him. Angered by this, Huītzilōpōchtli's 400 brothers, who were the Centzonhuītznāhua (gods of the southern stars) and his sister Coyolxāuhqui (goddess of the moon), tried to kill Cōātlīcue. Suddenly, Huītzilōpōchtli jumped out of his womb and attacked his siblings, decapitating his sister and throwing her body off the mountain. From then on, he chased after the southern stars and the moon, stopping them from killing Cōātlīcue and preventing the end of the world.

- The Aztecs built huge ziggurats to worship their gods. One of the temples, the Templo Mayor at the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, was simultaneously dedicated to Huītzilōpōchtli and another god, Tláloc (god of rain and agriculture, among other things). The Aztecs provided human sacrifices to give Huītzilōpōchtli the strength needed to keep chasing his siblings. These sacrifices (usually warriors from neighboring tribes) would then have their hearts and blood removed and cooked, the essence of which would get to Huītzilōpōchtli and keep him chasing his siblings

- While many of the sacrifices were for Huītzilōpōchtli, sacrifices were also done for other gods such as Tezcatlipoca (God of the night sky, Ruler of the North, the first of five suns), Xiuhtecuhtli (a god of fire), Huehueteotl (another god of fire), etc.
