Nahualism

Nahualism is a spiritual and cultural belief system primarily found in Mesoamerican traditions, particularly among the indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America. It holds that certain individuals, known as nahuales, can transform into animal forms or possess specific spiritual powers. This transformation is believed to connect them deeply with nature and the spiritual world. Nahualism involves practices such as rituals, healing, and a deep reverence for the forces of nature. The concept highlights the interconnectedness of humans and the universe, reflecting a worldview that emphasizes respect for nature and spiritual energy.
