The Nagual – Vision of the Nagual. “A nagual is empty.
That emptiness doesn’t reflect the world, it reflects infinity. A nagual has no boisterousness on his part, or assertions about the self. There is not a speck of a need to have either grievances or remorse. His is the emptiness of a warrior-traveler, seasoned to the point where he doesn’t take anything for granted. A warrior-traveler who doesn’t underestimate or overestimate anything.
The word nagual (nahual) is derived from the ‘Nahuatl language. The person who is to receive his nagual traditionally goes to an isolated spot and sleeps. Great Beasts of Legend: Monsters of the Maya Cosmos. Chilam Balam: Introduction. Sacred Texts Native American Maya Index Previous Next p. 3.

General History of the Things of New Spain by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún: The Florentine Codex. Historia general de las cosas de nueva España (General history of the things of New Spain) is an encyclopedic work about the people and culture of central Mexico compiled by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún (1499–1590), a Franciscan missionary who arrived in Mexico in 1529, eight years after completion of the Spanish conquest by Hernan Cortés.
Commonly called the Florentine Codex, the manuscript came into the possession of the Medici no later than 1588 and is now in the Medicea Laurenziana Library in Florence. Sahagún began conducting research into indigenous cultures in the 1540s, using a methodology that scholars consider to be a precursor to modern anthropological field technique. His motives were primarily religious: he believed that to convert the natives to Christianity and eradicate their devotion to false gods, it was necessary to understand those gods and the hold they had on the Aztec people.

When the Spanish conquistadors and the Catholic fathers first arrived on the shores of Mexico, and in South America, and when the English and French colonizers and missionaries first penetrated Canada and United States, they received from the native Indians tribes scattered in the western hemisphere several versions of a tradition of a "Bearded God" who had in the distant past visited their ancestors, taught them their culture, and mysteriously disappeared, but who would eventually return to them.
Although the traditions from the different Indian groups regarding the "Bearded God" do not agree in every detail, there being a variety of versions, yet in the principal points these Indian traditions, from Canada to Chile, have a close resemblance to one another.

The Mayan civilization flourished in Mesoamerica from around 300 b.c. until the Spanish conquest of the early a.d. 1500S. The mythology of the Maya had many elements in common with those of other civilizations of the region. But the Maya developed their own variation of the Mesoamerican pantheon of gods and goddesses, the stories about them, and the image of the universe and the place of humans in it.
In Mayan mythology, the gods and heroes had many different names and appearances, stories occurred in varying forms, and scenes and figures changed and shifted with confusing rapidity. Beneath this seeming confusion, though, lay a sense that the universe was an orderly, structured place and that proper behavior toward the gods played an important role in maintaining its harmony and balance. Background and Sources. The Olmec pantheon probably included deities of rain, corn, and fire, as well as a feathered serpent god. Mayan Mythology - Gods and Goddesses. Mayan Mythology [Go to 9:45] The Underground World of Xibalba [Go to 31:48] Maya mythology refers to the pre-Columbian Maya civilization's extensive polytheistic religious beliefs. These beliefs had most likely been long-established by the time the earliest-known distinctively Maya monuments had been built and inscriptions depicting their deities recorded, considerably pre-dating the 1st millennium BC.
Over the succeeding millennia this intricate and multi-faceted system of beliefs was extended, varying to a degree between regions and time periods, but maintaining also an inherited tradition and customary observances. Despite the ca. early 10th century "Terminal collapse", during which Maya monument construction and inscription recording effectively ceased over large areas and many centers were subsequently abandoned, the Maya peoples themselves endured and continued to maintain their assorted beliefs and traditions. A fifth 'direction', the "center", also formed a part of this scheme. Maya mythology. Mayan Mythology - Myth Encyclopedia - god, names, ancient, tree, war, world, creation, Native American.
