Nagual: Art & Measurement

In Mesoamerican folk religion, a nagual or nahual (both from the Nahuatl word nāhualli ) is a human being who has the power to shapeshift into their tonal animal counterpart. Nagualism is tied to the belief one can access power and spiritual insight by connecting with the tonal animal within.
