Peer editing: Hi, Benito! I thought your article was really great. Your use of primary sources is great, and it was helpful that you mentioned Tlazolteotl's connections to the calendar as well. The photos you added are useful and you used a variety of sources. The one thing I would recommend is going through and standardizing your language (either use deity or goddess, etc.). I think you intended to use deity throughout but there are a few instances where the language isn't consistent. This was a great read!

The earth-deity Tlazoteotl, from the Codex Borbonicus. Crouching in parturition, the goddess wears a flayed human skin symbolizing a dried husk enclosing a living seed. Crescent moons signal periodicity and renewal, while the centipede, serpent, and spider carry associations with the earth and fertility. [1]
