Itzcuintli, meaning 'dog', is the day in the Aztec calendar associated with the god Mictlantecuhtli. Mictlantecuhtli is the god of death and ruler over the lowest underworld, associated with funerals, wakes and remembrance. He is also associated with spiders, owls and bats. Itzcuintli is a day to be trustworthy, but a bad day to be overly trusting of others.
