Toltec refers to a civilization, culture, and philosophical tradition from ancient Mesoamerica, particularly in central Mexico, flourishing around 900–1150 CE. The Toltecs were known for their advanced knowledge in architecture, art, astronomy, and spirituality. The ruins of Tula (their capital) showcase impressive pyramids, warrior statues, and intricate carvings. Beyond the historical context, the term Toltec has also gained spiritual significance, especially through the modern interpretations of Toltec wisdom popularized by authors like Don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements). In this context, being a "Toltec" means being an artist of life—someone who creates their reality with awareness, integrity, and love.
