The Olman Pantheon
The Olman pantheon has changed considerably over time, and which gods are included, and which is considered the head of the pantheon, vary considerably even between groups of people.
The Olman of the Tilvanot Peninsula worship at least six deities: Camazotz, god of bats; Huhueteotl, god of fire; Mictlantecuhtli, god of death; Quetzalcoatl, god of birds and snakes; Tezcatlipoca, god of the sun and moon; and Tlaloc, god of rain.[5].
The Olman of the Sea Princes most highly revere Chitza-Atlan, god of the gateway to the underworld.[6]. The ancient Olman worshiped Coatlicue.[7]
