Gods were changed to christian saints just like in any other place christianity came.Unfortunately for all those places.I know about Ahpuch and Mictlantecuhtli being extremely similar.I researched Aztec
and Mayan mythology quite well.I have difficulty finding informations on Tlacolotl.

Tell me about Tlacolotl hiding somewhere amongst the books... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/book.gif) I will keep my eyes peeled for any kind of information on this deity (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shok.gif) Here are a few more links on nahuatl:
1) english to nahuatl:http://aulex.ohui.net/en-nah/?idioma=en
2) spanish to nahuatl:http://aulex.ohui.net/es-nah/?idioma=en

I personally think the spanish one is a bit better. It has more listings than the english one. Oh, and your definitely right. Christianity seemed to take over whatever religion was in place at any given country. They even imposed their Gregorian calendar. Speaking of time and heres another link:http://www.greatdreams.com/mayan_database.htm

I just finished reading the article "Change from Mechanical to Natural Time", its an interesting read. I guess the understanding of their astroloy, and concept of time go hand in hand. I apologize If I rambler on about this and contribute nothing to what your currently working on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/victory.gif)

Tlazocamati

This is what I found on Tlacolotl.
Mayan god of evil,villains and evildoers.Usually represented as a horned owl (or a man with head of an owl).
And I found this reference to god Tlacolotl.

ITZLACOHUIHQUI- "Curved Obsidian Knife" "God of Frost"

Spelling may also be Itzlacoliuhqui. Also considered as a god of obstinacy and blindness. This deity was worshipped in accordance with certain maize rites and public rituals. Spelling may be Itztlacoliuhqui. Also worshipped and revered as the "God of Cold". Depicted as a faceless being with a large curved knife blade, serrated, protruding from his head.

In the Codex Cospiano, this deity is depicted making an offering to the forces of darkness in front of a temple(*52). In the temple sits Tlacolotl, the horned owl, and representation of the deepest evil to the Mexica.

If you come upon any new information on Tlacolotl please let me know.

Thanks for the links.Yes christianity unfortunately obliterated all local religions wherever they appeared.
Mayans were expert astrologers that is sure.On the contrary,you contribute to my research (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Since we are about the only people here interested in this
we could switch this conversation on email or messenger.PM me if you are ok with that idea.
