Lords of the Night

Lords of the Night

In Mesoamerican calendars, the Lords of the Night are a set of nine gods that ruled over a particular night. The Lords of the Night were cyclical, so that same god recurred every nine nights.

In the Aztec calendar, the Lords of the night are Xiuhtecuhtli, Itztli, Piltzintecuhtli, Cinteotl, Mictlantecuhtli, Chalchiuhtlicue, Tlazolteotl, Tepeyollotl, and Tlaloc. The Maya calendar also has nine Lords of the Night, though their specific names are unknown.
