Tepicoyotl was a Acolhuas priest of Ōmeteōtl and a Tlamatini under Mecellotzin rule. He is the author of a songs and poetry compilation known as the "Secret Teachings of the Tlamacazqui" and the founder of Teoism. Tepicoyotl aimed to spread the understanding of Teotl to the population in the form of easily understood and sang psalms. He explained it as the divine energy that shapes and order the cosmos through its ceaseless cycles of formation and transformation. He went even as far as to explain that Ometeotl, the "Two-God", god of duality and supreme god of the pantheon, and the Unknown God, were merely two aspects, or "masks", of the same being which was inherently one, without attributes or definition.
