Quincunx or Toltecayotl symbol (Hunab Ku) :
This is a sacred symbol from the Toltec culture, it represents their cosmovision this amazing society developed in Mesoamerica, it is so complex that we need a couple of hours to explain the meaning, but we can say, it represents the sacred opposites and the balance of the universe (the universe itself/The human being as a universe/the nature elements) all in Quincunx symbol.

The Quincunx appears in many different cultures all around the world(in figures like a cross, pyramids, sacred mountains, flowers, geometric figures, etc.) and most of the time with similar meanings. And in this particular symbol, it looks like four butterflies coming out of the center towards the four directions of the universe, in the human body the center of our universe is in the navel, and this is the Axis Mundi of the universe, of nature, and of man. Each man can recognize himself, his strengths and weaknesses, his conscious and unconscious and renew them to try to be better (but, better than him, not better than others), like the butterflies that emerge as a new and better being capable of reach further than before in their universe. It is a beautiful symbol of self-knowledge and of "renovation”

Obsidian stone was one of the most used stones in Mexico. It is a natural volcanic glass formed like a rock. Once polished, it becomes very sharp like glass. Before the arrival of Europeans, Mexicans used obsidian stone for spiritual purposes such as meditation rituals, protection against negativity, and as mirrors to reflect their inner self. Obsidian stone was also used to make weapons because of its sharpness. Obsidian is a form of volcanic stone that has been used for centuries by the Mexica (native to Mexico) as a stone of protection and self-reflection. It was also used to make mirrors in a spiritual sense; Obsidian beads and figures were buried with the deceased for protection in the afterlife.
