A term that became popular with Carl Jung, archetypes are something that have been with us since the beginning of civilization. A power animal is the archetypal spirit that represents the entire species of that animal and they are valuable allies who can help us navigate through life's challenges and transitions. Many animals will come to guide us, some briefly and others throughout life.

Who can resist a jaguar cub? I certainly can't! I am fascinated by jaguars and wanted to honor the spirit of this little guy. The jaguar is a powerful archetypal spirit that is connected our Sacral Chakra representing the fearless, protective, and luminous warrior spirit of Hatun Otorongo (Great Jaguar). In times of fear she brings certainty and courage. She embodies being present and connected to our feelings. Let her guide you deep inside yours to bring to the light that is yearning to come out.
