Etymology
A helpful way to remember the modern spiritual use of Toltec is to link it to the old word Toltecatl, 'artisan' or 'skilled person'; writers used that image of skill and wisdom to describe people who follow Toltec-inspired teachings, so a modern Toltec can mean someone practicing those spiritual ideas.
