In Palo Mexica, there are several ways through which we may not only communicate with the aztec gods, but also harness much of their power for different purposes. The first way is to set up an altar in the name of the aztec god of your choice. Things like candles with the colors pertaining to your patron god, offerings in the form of food, copal. The second way in which we may communicate or commune with the aztec powers is to shamanic journey directly to them. You could visit the underworld gods and spirits in Mictlan or Tlalocan or various celestial regions depending on what you're looking for.
Next, if you want to actively worship the aztec gods or work with them, simply follow the aztec calendar, or the 260 day divinatory calendar. Each day has a confluence of several aztec gods that govern over our existence. By observing the day (seehttp://azteccalendar.com) we may begin to recognize comment traits of each of the aztec gods and you will come to know them intimately through practicing aztec calendar magick. One way that we may use to communicate with the gods is of course divination. I use maya tzite seed divination in lots of four beans per bundle read across from left to right in rows and columns. There is also an older Mexica tradition of divination that uses knotted ropes and maize seeds cast in lots, of which I know very little about.
