You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Head of Old God, Huehueteotl.jpg|thumb|Head of Old God, Huehueteotl, held at the [[Birmingham Museum of Art]]]]

'''Huehueteotl''' (((IPAc-en|ˌ|w|eɪ|w|eɪ|ˈ|t|eɪ|oʊ|t|əl)) ((respell|WAY|way|TAY|oh-təl)); ((IPA-nah|weːweˈteoːt͡ɬ))) is an aged [[Mesoamerica]]n deity figuring in the [[Pantheon (gods)|pantheon]]s of [[pre-Columbian]] cultures, particularly in [[Aztec mythology]] and others of the Central Mexico region. The spellings '''Huehuetéotl''' and '''Ueueteotl''' are also used.  Although known mostly in the cultures of that region, images and iconography depicting Huehueteotl have been found at other [[archaeological site]]s across Mesoamerica, such as in the Gulf region, western Mexico, Protoclassic-era sites in the [[Guatemala]]n highlands such as [[Kaminaljuyú]] and Late-Postclassic sites on the northern [[Yucatán Peninsula]] (Miller and Taube, 1993:189). The name Huehueteotl stems from [[Nahuatl]] ''huēhueh'' ((IPA-nah|ˈweːweʔ|)) ("old") and ''teōtl'' ((IPA-nah|ˈteoːt͡ɬ|)) ("god"). It seems to connect the Old God to certain Mayan deities called ''[[Mam (Maya mythology)|Mam]]'' ("Grandfather").

Huehueteotl is frequently considered to overlap with, or be another aspect of, a central Mexican/[[Aztec]] deity associated with [[fire]], '''[[Xiuhtecuhtli]]'''. In particular the [[Florentine Codex]] identifies Huehueteotl as an alternative epithet for Xiutecuhtli, and consequently that deity is sometimes referred to as  '''''Xiutecuhtli-Huehueteotl'''''. [[Image:Huehueteotl munah.jpg|thumb|Statue of Huehueteotl ([[Museo Nacional de Antropología]], Mexico City)]] However, Huehueteotl is characteristically depicted as an aged or even decrepit being, often with a beard, whereas Xiutecuhtli's appearance is much more youthful and vigorous, in line with his marked association with rulership and (youthful) warriors.<ref>*((cite book |last=Miller |first=Mary |author-link=Mary Miller (art historian) |author2=Karl Taube |author2-link=Karl Taube |year=1993 |title=The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya |publisher=Thames and Hudson |location=London |isbn=0-500-05068-6 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/godssymbolsofa00mill ))</ref><ref>((cite book | last1 = Birmingham Museum of Art | authorlink1 = Birmingham Museum of Art | title = Birmingham Museum of Art: Guide to the Collection | publisher = GILES | year = 2010 | location = London, UK | pages = 86 | url = http://www.birminghammuseumstore.org/gutoco.html | accessdate = 2011-07-19 | isbn = 978-1-904832-77-5 | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110910171202/http://www.birminghammuseumstore.org/gutoco.html | archivedate = 2011-09-10 ))</ref>

==Worship==
((more citations needed section|date=April 2021))
The [[Florentine Codex]]<ref>in Clendinnen, Aztecs, Cambridge UP 1991: 247</ref> describes an Aztec religious observance during the monthly feast of [[Izcalli]] (dedicated to Xiuhtecuhtli and Tlaloc), when boys had to hunt in the swamps for small water-related animals, such as snakes, lizards, frogs and even dragonfly larvae, and present these to elders serving as the guardians of the fire deity. As a reward for the offerings, the priest would give them steamed corn dough (tamales) stuffed with amaranth greens. At this occasion the god was represented as young with [[turquoise]] and [[quetzal]] feathers for ceremonial purposes. Later during the month he appeared as aging and tired, covered with the colours of gold, black and red. Perhaps this transformation of young into old can explain the fact that in the codices, Xiuhtecuhtli appears as a vigorous young man, whereas his representations in stone show him to be aged and decrepit.

In another, more dramatic, and better known celebration, the Aztecs cut out the hearts of human sacrifices and burned them on coal. As a result of this, the people would regain Huehueteotl's favour through the god's elements — [[fire]] and [[blood]].
