About this listen

Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, is no ordinary deity—he is the embodiment of creation, wisdom, and transformation. Soaring between sky and earth, he gifted humanity with knowledge, maize, and the spark of civilization. Yet behind this divine grace lies a story of vulnerability: deceived by his rival and burdened by the weight of his own purpose, Quetzalcoatl walked away from the world he helped shape. This episode unpacks the god’s complex legacy—a figure caught between godhood and humanity, whose breath still stirs the winds of time.
