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.
