Welcome!
The way the name of this blog and its symbolism was revealed to me was through a lucid dream.
That night I couldn't sleep. I asked the Universe to help me. When I was dozing, I felt a Jaguar climb onto my bed and lay on my back to sleep. This is when I fell asleep and started lucid dreaming.
I was born and raised in Guatemala although I now live in Amsterdam.
Growing up in Guatemala you can be very influenced by the Mayan culture. According to the day of my birth, my Nahual (spirit) is I'x: Mother Earth, women, the Jaguar, magic, theurgy.
In my dream, I was walking in the jungle of Petén, Guatemala. Petén, which is located in the north of Guatemala, is the area where more Mayan cities have been discovered than anywhere else in the country.
In the dream I was with a group of people exploring and it was night. The milky way was clearly visible. Just then a jaguar appeared in front of us, stood on a fallen tree and stared at us.
Everyone was afraid of him except me. I started to get closer to the jaguar. The group guide told me: "Be careful, it can kill you." I replied: "Don't worry, he and I are the same."
I approached him slowly, step by step, with my head down. I got so close to the jaguar that it could claw me or bite my neck with its sharp teeth and I would drop dead in a second. Instead, he patted me with his head like I was a cat.
At that moment the scenery changed and I was alone in the Petén jungle, admiring the milky way.
A conversation started with the Universe:
Universe: This starry night is you.
I because?
Universe: Because you are a jaguar. And the jaguar according to the Mayans is a starry night for its mottled skin
Me: and why can't it be a moonlit night? There is more light with the moon right?
Universe: It can't be because the moon disappears for a few days when it's new moon.
Me: Okay. I understand
Universe: You were for years in the dark night of the soul. You are now in the night of the Jaguar: The starry Night. In addition, the jaguar is an animal that can comfortably walk on earth like the underworld. Like you.
Do you prefer a completely dark night or a starry night?
In this blog we change the concept of The Dark Night of the Soul for The Night of the Jaguar.
Taking the Mayan concept, the Jaguar is the only sacred animal that has a close link with the deities of the underworld. It has amazing night vision so it can see things other animals can't. For the same reason, it moves comfortably during the day and at night.
So if you become a Jaguar symbolically, you will go through those dark parts of life: death in the family, accident, divorce, illness, job loss, cheating, abuse, adoption, separation, broken heart, etc. with the reigning power, the ability to see things that others do not see (especially in the dark), the majesty and the intuition of a jaguar.
