would quetzalcoatl be considered a cherub, as it is described as a feather serpent?
Okay, I had to read a bunch on Quetzalcoatl to see if there were any parallels or interesting things- Lord English already has ties to Egyptian and Gnostic Mythology, and knowing that Grandpa did have Mesoamerican idols and iconography around the house, it seemed plausible, but as far as I can tell, the ties to Quetzalcoatl aren’t too plentiful. He’s mentioned as a Creator Deity of Humanity, God of the Wind and Light, the Morning Star, which made me think about the Betas, about the Juju, but without anything solid. A myth also depicts him getting drunk and cavoting with his sister, then, ashamed, being buried in a Turquoise stone chest and self-immolating, becoming the Morning Star. You could maybe read something about Caliborn’s attraction to Calliope, and Calliope’s death to have some similarities, but what I’ve found so far is vague and I can’t really say there are any ties.
Similarly, I’m also looking into Xolotl, associated with Death, Lightning and Fire, escorting the Sun as it travels through the Underworld, depicted with empty eye sockets and also tied to Axolotls (Having transformed into one at some point, at least partially). I’m no expert at all, god knows, I only know as much as it’s readily available on the Internet, but with the First Guardian Axolotl concept art (First Guardians having blank eyes and being associated with Lightning, Fire and the Sun (Green)), and Xolotl’s ties to Quetzacoatl as well (As his Twin), I feel there COULD be something here, but it may be a bit too early to say for sure. I would need to look more into this.
