Tezcatlipoca really means "smoking mirror". He got this name from looking through a black mirror. : ) : )
smoking mirror
The Nahuatl language name of this central deity of the Aztec religion is often translated as "Smoking Mirror". This is due to his association with obsidian, which was used in Mesoamerica to make mirrors, often used for shamanic rituals.See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:
According to legends, Aztecs worshipped no less than 200 gods and goddesses. Among these gods were Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc, Tonatiuh, Tezcatlipoca, Chalchiuhtlicue, Centeotl, Quetzalcoatl, Xipe Totec, Mayahuel and Tlaltechutli.

The Aztec god most closely associated with the heavens is Tezcatlipoca. He is seen as a creator god and associated with the sky, time, and destinies. Tezcatlipoca was believed to watch over the earth from the heavens and wielded great power over the cosmos.
Some Aztec words that contain the letter "z" include "zocalo" (plaza or town square), "tezcatlipoca" (Aztec god of the night sky), and "tlazolli" (food or sustenance).
In Aztec mythology, Xochiquetzal was the goddess of beauty, love and household arts. Originally the wife of Tlaloc, she was abducted by Tezcatlipoca and enthroned as the goddess of love.
