I had already heard about the nahuales, especially older people say it, for example where I live, they talk about a lady whose Nahuatl was a snake, and they say that one day they killed the snake because it got into a house, and the next day they found the lady dead, supposedly because her life depended on the snake
One of my best friends told me about her great grandfather, she said that when he was young, some people saw him turning into a black dog, but he wasn`t violent. Actually, she said that she listened how he growled while she was at his bathroom but never saw anything.
I don't have any personal history, but once I saw a video on the subject and it seemed very surreal to me, I really didn't believe it, now I see that there may actually be a possibility that they do exist.
For the Otomi, the term "nahual" designates three different realities: 1._the alter ego of the human soul. 2._the healer transformed into an animal. 3._ a specific animal that endangers the lives of newborns during the first months of their existence.
The word Nahual derives from nahualli which, in Nahuatl, means "hidden". However, it is a term that incorporates other meanings such as disguise, deceive and hide.

ReplyDeleteI've only heard stories, but luckily nothing has ever happened directly to me.

In my case, I have not been able to see one, and I hope I never find one 😰🤞🏼
