  • 129 Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent)

    A serpent with feathers. A god with a planet. A king who walked into the sea and promised to return. Quetzalcōātl is one of the most powerful figures in all of Mesoamerican mythology… and one of the most misunderstood. This week on Gen Explains, we’re tracing the full arc: cosmic creator, fallen king, morning star, colonial legend. Gen brings the mystic lens, David brings the receipts, and we both get into why the “Cortés was mistaken for a god” story is almost certainly not true and why it spread anyway.
