Ehecatl

In the mythic corpus of pre‑Columbian central Mexico, Ehecatl appears as an aspect of the Feathered Serpent (Quetzalcoatl) and is counted among the creator gods and culture‑hero figures in creation accounts. The supplied sources identify him specifically as the wind manifestation of Quetzalcoatl (often named Ehecatl‑Quetzalcoatl) and attribute to him roles in the mythical acts of creation recorded for central Mexican cultures. The excerpts supplied do not include a detailed colonial or indigenous narrative episode with step‑by‑step actions, but they explicitly place Ehecatl within creator god lists and describe him functioning in creation and cultural‑founding contexts.

The supplied material emphasizes architectural and iconographic markers rather than a standardized anthropomorphic portrait. Temples to Ehecatl were constructed as cylinders and are described in the sources as sometimes portrayed with two protruding masks through which the wind 'blew.' These cylindrical temple forms and the motif of protruding masks are the principal visual features recorded in the provided excerpts. The sources also note that Ehecatl is interpreted as the wind aspect of the Feathered Serpent, which situates his iconography in relation to that larger divine complex, though the excerpts do not provide a fuller bodily description.

Ehecatl's primary domain is wind: he is the divine personification of moving air and is associated with wind blowing in all directions. Within the supplied sources he is described as participating in creation narratives and functioning as a culture hero; his powers are framed in terms of animating space and participating among the creator gods. The provided material does not enumerate a catalog of specific supernatural acts (for example, moving celestial bodies) beyond these creator‑god and wind‑associated functions, so more specific powers or mythic deeds are not present in the excerpts supplied.
