Noun[edit]
olīn (inanimate)- (it is) the seventeenth of the twenty day signs of the tōnalpōhualli; a conceptual depiction of movement as two intertwining bands of color. quotations ▼
Usage notes[edit]
- Similarly to cipactli, the translation of the day sign olīn varies. Andrews proposes “quake”, though “movement”, suggested by the root verb olīnia (“to move with difficulty”), is a more common translation.

What dose those famous step fret symbols mean on aztec warrior shields?
Mexicolore replies: Along with the spiral, scholars tend to associate it with the whole idea of movement, the generation of new cycles and the weaving into being of the 5th Sun. James Maffie refers to it in his article for us on ‘Aztec Philosophy’ -

Aztec metaphysics is pantheistic, not polytheistic. Polytheism claims that there exist many gods. The various alleged “gods” of the so-called “Aztec pantheon” such as Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, and Huitzilopochtli, are nothing more than kaleidoscopic aspects or facets of teotl. For the Aztecs everything that exists constitutes a single, all-inclusive, and interrelated unity.

Teotl (
modern Nahuatl pronunciation (help·info)) is a central idea of Aztec religion. The Nahuatl term is often translated as "god", but it may have held more abstract aspects of the numinous or divine, akin to the Polynesian concept of Mana.[1] In Pipil mythology Teut (Nawat cognate of Teotl)[2][3] is known merely as the creator and the father of life.[4] The nature of "Teotl" has been an ongoing discussion between scholars for many years.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotl

from the Mexicolore page
Aztec metaphysics is defined by four key views: metaphysical monism; constitutional monism; process metaphysics; and horizontal metaphysics. Metaphysical monism claims there exists only one thing. (Monism means “one.”) Aztec metaphysics claims there exists ultimately just one thing: dynamic, vivifying, eternally self-generating and self-regenerating power, force, or energy-in-motion. The Aztecs referred to this as teotl. (You might think of teotl as something like electricity.)

Tlamatini (plural tlamatinime) is a Nahuatl language word meaning "someone who knows something", generally translated as "wise man". The word is analyzable as derived from the transitive verb mati "to know" with the prefix tla- indicating an unspecified inanimate object translatable by "something" and the derivational suffix -ni meaning "a person who are characterized by ...": hence tla-mati-ni "a person who is characterized by knowing something" or more to the point "a knower".[1]
The famous Nahuatl language translator and interpreter Miguel León-Portilla refers to the tlamatini as philosophers and they are the subject of his book Aztec Thought and Culture.

As a historian, León-Portilla gives us an understanding of the figure of Tlacaelel. Originally, an obscure name in some chronicles, Tlacaelel is now seen by many as the architect of the Aztec empire.
A subordinate but important interest of León-Portilla has been the early history and ethnography of the Baja California Peninsula. He has addressed this region in more than 30 books and articles, including a 1995 volume collecting several of his earlier publications.[

Game and Story Use
- While it wasn't the original inspiration, the parallels to Star Wars are obvious - so read up on Aztec Philosophy if you want to bring some actual philosophical discussions to your Star Wars campaign!
- One implication is that beings that become more powerful become more firmly rooted in teotl - such as player characters in many fantasy games. Thus, you could argue that they become more "like the gods" as they rise in power/level!
- This could justify "Detect Teotl" spells or powers in your game… which detect the level or challenge rating of the entity in question!
- Compare to the concept of mana.

For those trapped inside the canons of classical Greek sculpture, the large hollow ceramic figures from Nayarit in West Mexico (figs 1–3) may seem ‘elephantine’,1For use of the adjective ‘elephantine’ in this context see Elizabeth Easby & John Scott, Before Cortes: Sculpture of Middle America, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1970, p. 110. crude even grotesque caricatures of the human form. Miguel Covarrubias, the notable Mexican art historian, sees them as ‘haunting subhuman monstrosities’ with ‘ridiculously thin arms’ and ‘enormous feet’, reaching the ‘limits of absurd, brutal caricature’.

Aztlán plays a slightly less important role in Aztec legendary histories than the migration to Tenochtitlán itself.[citation needed] Some say[3] that the southward migration began on May 24, 1064 CE, after the Crab Nebula events from May to July 1054. Each of the seven groups is credited with founding a different major city-state in Central Mexico.
A 2004 translation of the Anales de Tlatelolco gives the only date known related to the exit from Aztlan; day-sign "4 Cuauhtli" (Four Eagle) of the year "1 Tecpatl" (Knife) or 1064-1065,[3] and correlated to January 4, 1065.
