Maya Spirit Companions

The Way/Nahaul

Both the ancient and highland Maya today believe they have a spirit/animal companion. The ancient Maya called it their Way (pronounced ‘Why’, and the plural is “Wayob“) and the Maya today call it their nahual/nawale.

Spirit-companions take many forms like an animal (e.g., reptile, bird, jaguar), elements of nature (e.g ., rain, lightning, wind, fire), or important objects to the Maya.

Your birthdate defines what spirit companion you have and also explains your character traits.

The 20 Wayob are the 20 sacred calendar day signs.
