In Aztec mythology, Malinalxochitl, or Malīnalxōch,[1] (Classical Nahuatl: Malīnalxōchitl [maliːnaɬˈʃoːtʃitɬ], from Nahuatl malinalli "grass" and xochitl "flower") was a sorceress and goddess of snakes, scorpions, and insects of the desert.[2][3] She claimed the title Cihuacoatl, meaning "Woman Serpent" or "Snake Woman".[4] Her brother was Huītzilōpōchtli.[1][2][5][6] During the migration, she was abandoned during her sleep by the Mexicas as directed by her brother. Afterward she had a son named Copil with Chimalcuauhtli, king of Malinalco.[3][7]
