Ojer Kaslem is the Oltec god of growth and cultivation. As one of the Deep Gods of Ixalan's Core, she is believed to be a child of Chimil. She is one of the lesser gods, primarily worshipped by Gardener Orders.

Description

Ojer Kaslem is the Deep God of life, a chimeric figure in body and age, whose form is cheerful, chaotic, beautiful, and terrifying as the force for which she is an avatar. Ojer Kaslem's cult is the smallest of the Deep Gods and the least centralized, her temples spread out among the deep glades and jungle valleys of the Core. The Oltec hold deep respect for Ojer Kaslem, even if she is not one of the primary deities of their culture; Kaslem is often known as the quiet god, ever-present, often taken for granted until felt only by her absence.

Ojer Kaslem is associated with gardeners, farmers, ranchers, and any who work in the wild. She is closely associated with dinosaurs and butterflies, and often invoked by Oltec upon seeing them in the wild. Her adherents also venerate the monarch butterfly and pattern their vestments and armor after their wings. She is primarily worshiped by the Gardener Order.

Inspiration

Ojer Kaslem is based on Coatlicue, the Aztec goddess of fertility. Like her she has a lower body composed of serpents.
