Quetzalcóatl was one of the most important gods in ancient Mesoamerica. The god known as the feathered Serpent is a mix of bird and rattle snake and his name is a combination of the Nahuatl words for the quetzal - the emerald plumed bird - and coatl or serpent.
The Feathered Serpent was a prominent supernatural entity in many Mesoamerican religions. It was called Quetzalcóatl among the Aztecs, Kukulkán among the Yucatec Maya, and Q'uq'umatz (and Tohil) among the K'iche; Maya. The double symbolism is considered allegoric to the dual nature of the deity: being feathered represents its divine nature or ability to fly (to reach the skies) and being a serpent represents its ability to creep on the Earth. Feathers represent the freedom to go between worlds. Birds are the only animals that have the freedom to manoeuvre between all the elements, air, earth, and for some water as well. Maya mythology describes serpents as being the vehicles by which celestial bodies, such as the sun and stars, cross the heavens. And they are a vehicle for human resurrection.
