Which Aztec goddess is the deity of maize? Chicomecoatl was the Aztec goddess associated with maize.

Chicomecoatl, whose Nahuatl name means “Seven Serpent,” was a goddess of agriculture, nourishment, food, drink, and human livelihood. Maize was central to life in Mesoamerica, so her role extended beyond a single crop to agricultural abundance and survival. She is commonly depicted carrying ears of corn.

Chicomecoatl was regarded as the female counterpart of Centeotl, the maize god. She was also associated with Xilonen, a name connected with tender or unripe maize. These overlapping identities reflect the way Nahua religious traditions linked different stages of the maize plant and agricultural cycle.

Her principal festival was Huey Tozoztli, a harvest-season celebration during which seed corn was selected and blessed for planting. The common mix-up is to choose Centeotl: Centeotl is strongly connected with maize, but is generally identified as male, while the question asks for the goddess. Mayahuel was chiefly associated with the maguey plant and pulque.
