JAGUAR: Nourish the Shadow (Animal Apothecary Oracle Cards)


Jaguar represents the shadow, the subconscious aspects of ourselves that we push away. Carl Jung says these aspects usually stem from situations we encountered as children that lead us to feel shame, unworthiness, and abandonment. We then live out these programmed beliefs as adults.


Jaguar comes to speak to us about nourishing our shadow. In this image, we see her drinking from the well of wholeness. Water is where all life comes from and without it we have no vitality. Many of us ignore and starve our shadow aspects because they cause us so much pain. We push them away and deeply criticize them. We chain our jaguar shadow and confine her to the furthest part of the backyard of our minds. She howls and cries for nourishment, yet we ignore her. In her banishment, because of this lack of love, her power grows as a master of self-sabotage. Ironically, if you would begin a relationship with her, you would find that she is your greatest ally and leads to fulfilling your life's purpose.


Jaguar’s medicine asks you to create a self-talk relationship with yourself and ride the wave of hurt within. Every time a painful feeling arises, you now must tell yourself, "I am right here to feel this with you. I accept this uncomfortable feeling, and I will ride it out with you." If you do this, the emotion will always detox out and dissipate, leading to a much quicker healing. If you witness your pain in the jaguar shadow, she will start showing you a new and indestructible power within. Your shadow is where your diamond lives.
