What is your nahual?

In Mesoamerican mythology, the nahual is an animal that is considered to be the protective spirit of each person.

In some traditions it´s said that every person in the moment of his birth already has the spirit of one animal. The animal is going to protect and guide the person.
It is said that witches and shamans of Mesoamerica can have a very tight connection with their nahual, giving them several advantages and they know how to use them. The vision of the hawk, the wolf's nose or ear of the ocelot become tools of the clairvoyants. Even more, some can change their shape into the shape of their nagual.

However, it is  also believed that the contact with their nahuales is also common among shamans who seek benefits for the community, although they do not make use of the capacity of transformation.. For them, the nahual is a form of introspection that allows the practitioner to have close contact with the spiritual world, which make it easier to find solutions to many problems that afflict those who seek their advice. 

If you want to know which is your nahual; have a look here:

First you have to write you day of birth, always with two signs, then select your months (if you don´t speak spanish, count them ;) ) and at last your year of birth. Click calcular. Scroll down and click on: Ver Significado. Copy all and put it into google translator, with some fantasy to understand the bad translation, you might understand what your nahual is and what it stands for.

My nahual is the owl, or in K´iche: Kama
 Have fun to find out your nahual!!
