The Truth About Nagualism: Why Christians Must Reject Animal Guardian Spirits
The Deception of Nagualism: A Warning for Christians
Nagualism is a spiritual belief originating from Mesoamerican cultures, especially among the Aztecs and Toltecs, that teaches each person has a personal spiritual companion—usually an animal—called a nagual. This entity is believed to offer guidance, power, and protection throughout life. However, for Bible-believing Christians, engaging with or inheriting this belief through ancestors opens a spiritual doorway to deception, demonic oppression, and idolatry.
What is a Nagual?
A nagual is considered a “guardian spirit” or personal power animal tied to an individual’s soul. In ancient cultures, shamans or spiritual leaders would help identify one’s nagual, believed to reside in the spiritual realm and manifest in dreams, trances, or animal form. Sometimes the nagual can also be an element or object, though most often it is an animal like a jaguar, owl, or coyote.
The problem? This is not biblical. Seeking spiritual power from anything outside of the Holy Spirit invites the demonic. These are not just "cultural practices"—they are occult rituals tied to witchcraft and idolatry.
How to Discern Evil Modalities Like Nagualism
Before adopting any spiritual practice, even those masked in “healing” or “ancestral heritage,” ask:
-
What was their spirituality? Nagualism arose from pagan religions with pantheistic worldviews.
-
What culture did it come out of? Mesoamerican tribes engaged in human sacrifice, shamanism, and nature worship.
-
What were their beliefs? That power comes from animals, spirits, and gods—not Yahweh.
-
Who is their god or gods? Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, and other ancient deities—none of which align with the God of the Bible.
-
What is the purpose of the modality? Control, divination, and spiritual protection—through sources other than God.
Scripture’s Clear Condemnation
The Bible doesn’t leave room for ambiguity when it comes to spiritism, animal totems, or invoking guardian spirits. These practices fall under witchcraft and divination:
"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch."
— Deuteronomy 18:10
"You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below."
— Exodus 20:4
"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God."
— Leviticus 19:31
The nagual is not a helper or protector—it is a demonic spirit masquerading as an animal guide.
Demonic Manifestations from Nagualism
When people engage in or inherit nagualism—either personally or through ancestral ties—they open the door to demonic oppression. Manifestations can include:
-
Nightmares and sleep paralysis (often featuring animals or beasts)
-
Mental torment and confusion (especially after engaging in shamanism or dream rituals)
-
Sudden fear or animal-like behavior (growling, seeing spirit animals)
-
Emotional bondage or violent dreams
-
Tormented children or generational affliction (especially when ancestors were involved in native mysticism)
Even if you haven’t practiced nagualism, your ancestors might have, especially if you have Mexican, Central American, or Native heritage. These generational curses must be broken through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Is Our True Guardian
The only guardian assigned to believers in the Bible is from God:
"For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways."
— Psalm 91:11
Not a spirit animal. Not a coyote. Not a jaguar. Angels from the Most High God are sent to guard us. To look anywhere else is spiritual adultery.
Jesus is our mediator, deliverer, healer, and protector—not a spirit guide, totem, or nagual.
Renounce and Break Free
If you or your family have participated in this modality, here’s a path to deliverance:
-
Recognize the sin and deception.
-
Repent for personal or generational involvement.
-
Renounce nagualism and any demonic spirits associated with it.
-
Remove all related objects: statues, animal carvings, dreamcatchers, books, etc.
-
Resist the enemy with scripture.
-
Rejoice in your freedom.
-
Restore your life through prayer, fasting, and the Word.
Sample Prayer of Renunciation
“Father God, I repent for participating in or inheriting the practice of nagualism and animal guardian spirits. I renounce every spirit tied to this belief. I break all generational curses and soul ties to ancient pagan rituals in Jesus’ name. I plead the blood of Jesus over my body, soul, and spirit. I cast out every familiar spirit, deception, and tormentor in Jesus’ name. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and protect me from all evil. Amen.”
