Ahuaques, the water elves

Ahuaques, the water elves

The grandparents of Santa Catarina del Monte in Texcoco narrate in Nahuatl and Spanish some stories and beliefs of the children of the god Tláloc, known as Ahuaques. With roots in the land, they visit the elves in the bowels of the river where they make an offering of request for rain and protection.
