Nagual ( Eng. Nagual from Az . Nahualli - to be hidden, hidden [1] ) - in the mythology of the Indians of Central America , the guardian spirit, theriomorphic double [2] [3] . The nagual was possessed not only by humans, but also by animals and gods. Often depicted as animals ( jaguar , coyote , eagle , quesal [4] , etc.). In this sense, the nagual is the opposite of tonal . A person practicing magic (a sorcerer - a shaman ) and capable of transforming into a totemic animal could also be called a nagual [5] .
Also, the term nagual is widely used in the books of Carlos Castaneda , where it denotes the hidden, hidden and indescribable side of man.
