The deity that served as the double, or Nahualli, of Quetzalcoatl. He accompanied Quetzalcoatl on his descent to the underworld to retrieve the bones of humanity. According to Samael Aun Weor, Xolotl, the black dog, is the symbol of one’s particular Lucifer. The name itself is related to the Nahuatl for “double” and also related to “deformity.” For example, xolochaui means “to wrinkle or double over.” This describes the nature of Lucifer being deformed by the sins of humanity. Also, the word Xolotl is related to twin or doubled objects like mexolotl (doubled ear of corn). This is related to the nature of Lucifer as being a shadow of Christ. See: Lucifer
