In the Historia Tolteca-Chichimeca, the tlamacazque appear in the shape of town founders, who did penitence and therefore became deserving of founding towns or taking over existing towns. See the attestations from sources in Spanish here in our dictionary. Also, Cohuenan prays to Ipalnemohuani, the Tloque Nahuaque, asking that the people be given "titechtlamacehuia titechmacaz yn mauh y motepeuh" (you grant us, you give us your water, your hill, i.e. your altepetl) after seeing (having a vision of) the Tlachihualtepetl (apparently the pyramid at Cholula). And Quetzalcoatl answers that Cohuenan has earned the benefit of this becoming his altepetl, and the current inhabitants, the Toltecs, will abandon it. (sixteenth century, Quauhtinchan)

"Nahuallatolli was the 'language of the sorcerers' (Jansen 1985:6) and the 'principal credential for validating a person’s entry into the powerful, ethereal realm' (López Austin 1967:1) as he transforms himself into a tlamacazqui. In the context of incantations, the word tlamacazqui alludes to all the recipients of these chants (for example, water and the goddess of water), but at the same time it also refers to the sorcerer himself. Jacinto de la Serna (1953/1892) translates this word in the seventeenth century into Spanish as espiritado ('possessed'), a word that today has more the meaning of 'charmed,' 'bewitched,' or 'possessed by the divine spirit.'

TLAMA-CAZQUI, “type of priest,” derisive term for the Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) [FC: 51 tlamacazqui] “…. So only at night, secretly, it
drinks water. And uilotl was named – his derisive named became – tlamacazqui, because he only said, ‘Let all go.’” See HUĪLŌ-TL “Mourning Dove.”
