Hymn Of Tla Loc

Hymn Of Tla-loc

(\"Mexican"
)

(Tla-loc is the God of Storms. He dwells in Tlalocan where the spirits of the elements toss the balls of thunder, and cast the reeds of lightning. This is a masked dramatized ceremony to the rain god)

"Priests"

To Our
land the god appears! His banner unfolds to the Four Ways and no one weeps!"

"Tla-loc"

"I, the god, have returned again! I have turned again to the place of abundance of sacrifices. West-ward, when the day grows old I am beheld as a god."

"High Priest"

"Thy work is that of a magician divine! Truly thou hast made thyself to be of our flesh. Thou hast made thyself, and who dare affront thee?"

"Tla-loc"

"Truly he who affronts me faces the dangers; My fathers took by the heads the tigers and serpents!"

"Priests"

"In Tla-locan, the Place of the Divine, they play at ball! They cast the reeds!"

"High Priest to Devotees"

"Go forth! Go forth to where the clouds are spread--where the thick mist marks the cloudy house of Tla-loc!"

"Tla-loc"

"Go ye out to seek me! Seek for the voice I send forth as I rise--a terrible god--a cry on the winds!"
