Ometeotl

In Aztec mythology, Ometeotl ("two energies" or, in the Anglicized interpretation, "double god") was a hermaphroditic god/dess who represented duality and opposites and was the creator of the universe. Ometeotl's male aspect is Ometecutli, his/her female aspect is Omecihuatl. S/he dwelled in and ruled over Omeyocan ("Two Place"), home of the gods.

The direct translation of Ometeotl is "two energies" (ome = two; teotl = energy); the reference to "gods" reference to Aztec beliefs is a interpretation and construct of European origins.
