The origin of this god is from Toltec origin, and possibly could be traced to Teotihuacan . In the Nahua/Aztec tradition, Ometeolt/Omecihualt is a dual god, male and female, who was the creator of Cemanahuatl . Ometeotl's male aspect is Ometecutli , his/her female aspect is Omecihuatl . S/he dwelled in and ruled over Omeyocan ("Two Place"), home of the gods. There were no temples dedicated to this god, but Ometeotl is referred to in most of the Aztec poetry. Ometeotl was also referred by other names: Tloque Nahuaque, "Owner of the Near and Far"; Moyocoyatzin, "The Inventor of Himself"; Ipalnemohua, "The Giver of Life". An Aztec poem declares: The giver of life mock of us only a dream we chase oh my friends our hearth trust But he really mock of us but with emotion we enjoy in the green things and in the paintings The giver of life make us live he knows, he rules how we, the men, will die nobody, nobody, nobody really lives on earth.
