23 Coyolxauhqui is the Mexican Nahuatl dismembered goddess of the moon. In Anzaldúa's words, “The warrior goddess's eyes are closed; she has bells on her cheeks, and her head is in the form of a snail design. Decapitated by her brother, Huitzilopochtli (Eastern Hummingbird and War God), Coyolxauhqui exemplifies women as conquered bodies. Her bones jutting from sockets call to mind the dominant culture's repeated attempts to tear U.S. Mexican culture apart and scatter the fragments to the winds.” Anzaldúa, Gloria E., Light in the Dark/Luz en lo Oscuro: Rewriting Identity, Spirituality, Reality, ed.
