7 chapters on the figure behind the card, researched in the Aztec mythology sources and reviewed before publication. See Quetzalcoatl’s card →

1. The Feathered Serpent The image is very old. The stories attached to it are not.
2. The Bones of the Ancestors He goes down for the bones of a dead humanity, and drops them.
3. The Mountain of Sustenance The gods cannot find food. An ant already knows where it is.
4. Topiltzin of Tollan A ruler took the god's name, and the records never separated them.
5. The Mirror and the Road East He is shown his own face, and cannot stay in the city after it.
6. Ehecatl, the Wind That Sweeps the Road They took the corners off the building so the wind could turn.
7. The Return That Was Written Afterwards The famous prophecy is better documented as a story about a story.
