El Nahual: Ancient Mexican
traditions maintains that we were all born with a mystical relationship with a
specific animal spirit that protects and guides us. This spirit is called a nahual,
which derives from the Aztec, nahualli, meaning “covering” or “skin.” These
terms refer to the nahual’s ability to transform itself into a half-man
half-animal creature.
