With all due respect, however, I am still going to place my trust in the people I have spoken to from those various backgrounds over anything published on the internet...hope you can understand. I will also continue to contend that Castaneda did not use the word nahualli in his books and that the link between the two words is a human construction. While I am sure that you did your research, I doubt that you spoke to native speakers to verify if what you were reading was true or bore any resembelence to the truth. It might not seem like it, and you may feel that I am being nit picky, but there is a freedom in accepting responsibility for having made a false connection or attributing a meaning that wasn't there.."
false connection. interesting that you have inserted the idea that my experience is purely from the internet. I am writing from my experience when i was living in south mexico. I made the distinction that i do not know if the word nagual is recognised in north mexico because i have not been there (the north end). I have no idea what carlos wrote about nagual or nahualli. that doesn't matter in terms of the actual usage of the word nagual in its native lands.
