Guide Animals
Guide Animals are universal archetype representing the main characteristics of a specific species, including powers and qualities. They belong to the Native American tradition and ancient people from the modern Mexico, especially they are connected to nahuales from Maya and Aztech tribes -nahuales are the Magister of the tradition, the one that can connect the material world to the spiritual one-.
