Citlālicue

Citlāllīcuē ("star garment"), also Citlālinīcuē and Ilamātēcuhtli, was a creator goddess in Aztec mythology.

She created the stars with her husband Citlalatonac, the Milky Way, Earth, death, and darkness. This pair of gods are sometimes associated with the first pair of humans, Nata and Nena.

In tōnalpōhualli, Citlālicue is the Lord of the Day for days that land on the 13th of the month (Nahuatl: mahtlactli-omei).
