Questions for Lone Wolf

[BarefootInTheSand]

Here is the point of contention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl), there isn't a word in the ancient languages that resembles nagual for a shapeshifter. There are other words for that, but they bear no resemblance to the word nagual or any of its variants. Same for Spanish and Arizona's Toltec indiginious peoples. The word, and the attempts to tie it in with other words, are familiar only to those who have read Castaneda or his offshoots. Outside of that context the word is meaningless...technically speaking. I have nothing against making up a word and giving it meaning or using it for a prop to help one's self out, however, it seems pointless to agrue over something that isn't real to begin with. Thank you, I get the sense that this conversation is an unending one.
