*According to Aztec legend, the Witchman was the earthly emissary of the god Tezcatlipoca, also known as "Smoking Mirror." One of the gods of creation and diety [sic] of the night sky, Tezcatlipoca was greatly feared, and appeased by the sacrifice of specially selected victims who would be worshipped [sic] as the mortal personification of the dark god for one year, before being sacrificed and eaten by priests.
But legend suggests that one who received the yearly honor cleverly escaped death, to live one additional year before being hunted down by Tezcatlipoca, who ripped out the boy's heart and replaced it with obsidian. *Source: Back of Card
