    The myths and legends of the Aztecs offer a glimpse into a world both vibrant and complex, where gods walked among mortals, and cosmic forces shaped the destiny of an empire. Rooted in the beliefs of the Nahua peoples of central Mexico, Aztec mythology was more than just a collection of stories—it was a sacred system that explained the origins of the universe, the role of humanity, and the ever-present struggle between order and chaos. These myths provided meaning to daily life, justified political and military expansion, and reinforced the religious practices that were central to Aztec society.  
    The origins of Aztec mythology are intertwined with the migrations and conquests that shaped their civilization. The Mexica, the people who would later establish the powerful city of Tenochtitlan, believed they were divinely chosen. According to their legends, they embarked on a long journey from a mythical homeland called Aztlán under the guidance of their patron god, Huitzilopochtli. Their eventual settlement on an island in Lake Texcoco fulfilled a prophecy that marked the beginning of their great empire. By weaving their own history into the fabric of myth, the Aztecs established their right to rule and their connection to the gods.  
    In Aztec society, mythology was inseparable from religion, politics, and even warfare. The gods required constant nourishment through human sacrifice, a practice that was not seen as cruel but as essential for maintaining cosmic balance. Warriors who died in battle were honored as they were believed to ascend to the sun’s domain, while sacrificial victims were thought to sustain the gods with their blood. Mythology also shaped the Aztec worldview through their intricate calendar system, which guided ceremonies, agriculture, and daily life. Time was cyclical, and each era was destined to end and be reborn—a belief that influenced their response to the arrival of the Spanish.

    Krak Teet is a Gullah Geechee phrase meaning “to speak.” This audiobook preserves the voices of Savannah’s Black elders—grandchildren of the enslaved who laid the city’s cobblestone roads and introduced its famous red rice and deviled crabs. 
    These first-hand accounts share stories of struggle—Ms. Madie’s family fleeing after her father sold a pig without permission, Mr. Roosevelt packing his mother’s stab wounds with cobwebs, Ms. Florie marching Broughton Street twice a day to protest segregation—and stories of triumph—Queen Elizabeth Butler becoming the first Black woman in Savannah to own a car, Ms. Sadie earning $500 a week running numbers, and the city desegregating months before the Civil Rights Act. 
    Krak Teet repositions Savannah’s Black history as central to the American story, not a sidebar.
