Teotl

Teotl is a central idea of Aztec religion. The Nahuatl term is often translated as "god", but it may have held more abstract aspects of the numinous or divine, akin to the Polynesian concept of Mana. In Pipil mythology Teut (Nawat cognate of Teotl) is known merely as the creator and the father of life. The nature of "Teotl" has been an ongoing discussion between scholars for many years.
