“According to sources, Cinteotl is the god of maize and subsistence and Centeōtl corresponds to Chicomecōātl, the goddess of agriculture. Aztec workers would plant the young maize. These young maize plants potentially were used as symbolism for a pretty goddess, most likely Chicomecōātl, Princess of the Unripe Maize.”
