Religion and Society
Religion is part of all levels of Yāiji society. On the state level everything is controlled by the Tlahtoāni and the tlamacazqui of Xōchimīlco. There are several large monthly festivals that take place at this level and each have specific rituals centered around the Tlahtoāni and attempt to stabilize both the political and cosmic systems. These rituals are the ones that involve a living, sapient, sacrifice. The most spectacular ritual is the New Fire Ceremony which is preformed every 42 years and involves every citizen of the realm. During this, commoners would destroy house utensils, quench all fires, and receive new fire from the bonfire on top of Mt. Quetzalchtlan, lit on the chest of a sacrificed person by the Tlahtoāni.
