In Mesoamerican culture,
nahualism is the abilitv of a person ta
connect with their nahual or spirit animal
The nahual is a being that shares a person's
characteristics and, furthermore, is linked to
the person through a "soul" that they share
and is common to them. Another kind of
nahualism is that of people capable of
transforming themselves into their "spirit
animals" or acquiring their abilities through
rituals and spells. Although the practice of
nahualism dates back to a time immemorial
this painting "La Bruia de Zempoala", is set
in a relatively recent past. In it, an Otomi
nahual woman flies over a Mexican
traditional pueblo, accompanied by her
spirit animals. The frame is decorated with
paper figures made by the va Hñähno
people, also called Otomi. They represent
spirits of the Earth and natural phenomena.
She represents the modern survival of our
ancient, millennial traditions, and the
wisdom of our ancestors which continues to
guide us today
