The Aztec god of wind is the same as Viracocha

Note the object in their right hand, split at the top and joined at the base.


The four directions and the wind were both heavily involved with these two seemingly different figures. The Aztec god was also closely associated with Quetzalcoatl, while Viracocha has serpent aspects and a feathered headdress like aspect.


The Andean Staff God, depicted holding the serpent, but also depicted holding a Trichocereus cactus is the same deity.


In terms of symbolism San Pedro (Saint Peter) is used for the keeper of the cross roads, the cross being his symbol and related to the four cardinal directions and the wind.
