I have only just met my Jaguar. My warior. I never knew her, until recently. She was there, on her high branches, silently watching, learning, waiting. How it is time to hunt, and defend. This animal actually fits very well as my warior, because as a whole, she is not. The Jaguar only fights out of need, when it is absolutely necessary. The Jaguar's strike may not be the one to begin the battle. But it WILL be the one to finish it.

Where the Jaguar found hearts blackened with hatred, greed or dishonesty, he would haunt those unfortunate souls, relentlessly stalking them until they embraced the wisdom of integrity and transformed their lives. Those who resisted, were met with the vengeance of the Jaguar.

People with a Jaguar totem have the ability to do a variety of tasks at the same time. They tend to be loners, very comfortable with themselves and are often drawn to other solitary people.

These people can develop clairaudience, the ability to hear communications from other forms of life or dimensions. They should trust their thoughts and inner visions as they are based in reality.

The Jaguar does not roar like a lion. Instead, it grows, snarls and makes deep grunts. Those with this totem have command of language. Their words can cut, tear and shred others apart.

Because these souls possess the gift to see to the motives of another, the "future" consequences of that individual`s motives and actions are clearly visible to this individual, and they can appear almost prophetic when warning another of the ramifications that may befall should their current motives remain ulterior, selfish, or evasive.

Yet the greatest lesson for the Jaguar soul, may often come in the guise of conflicting desires within their own Self. As a highly sensual individual, these are souls who are enthralled with the beauty and diversity of life, from the brilliant colors, patterns and hues of a sunset, to the aroma of a rose in bloom, to the physical attractiveness of a potential mate. This high degree of sensuality can create deeply felt stimuli that can at times be in contradiction to the best interest of the soul’s growth and can serve as temptation to divert the Jaguar from his/her soul’s path.

The Jaguar Soul’s life will be lead from a standpoint of a moral belief system that is structured to remind the human counterpart of the necessity of operating from truth, valor, honor and respect for the All. 

In other words. The claws are out now. My Jaguar will sleep again, when the wrongs have been righted, and the black heart is either forever transformed, or eaten.
