THE JAGUAR:

Mayas and Aztecs considered the jaguar a very magickal animal, capable of shifting its shape in order to cause fear and kill people. They had a jaguar God to whom they made sacrifices. Mayan priests wore jaguar skin tunics and headresses representing the animal during certain rites.
In Aztec society, the warrior class was symbolized by depictions of jaguars and eagles eating human hearts.
The Tolteca associated the jaguar with rain and thunder (which was called his voice). His yellow skin represented the Sun; during eclipses they said that the jaguar swallowed the Sun.
Jaguars are fiercely independent, cunning, and distrustful of humans.
Like leopards, the jaguar will hunt single humans or dogs, which it especially hates.

Magickal Attributes
Developing the ability to walk without fear in Otherworld realms.
Releasing fear.

Chant
Shape-shifting jaguar, fearless and bold,
Reveal to me doors to the Otherworld lands.
Teach to me courage, self-confidence strong,
That I may be firm in conviction of plans.
Let me ride with the thunder, that energy great,
And walk with the jaguar, a path of true fate.
