TURANIAN AMAZON OF THE STEPPE
One will find that the name of the 10th Spirit of the classical Goetia called Beur, is derived from the Altaic word 'Buri.'
"The term BORI, BURI, PUR is an ancient term referring to a totemic ancestor of many Ural-Altaic nations. Seen on pertoglyps of the Altai and Sayan; Now due to its animal-totemic nature, the animal may be different even though its totemic name is the same, for it represents the ‘Ancestor Spirit’. Among some, the ‘Horned’ Deer is the ancestor like that of the 'Hungarian's' and some 'Scythian's.' In time some of the characteristics of the Stag totem were transferred over to the "Horse," which was on ceremonial occasions decorated with antlers". (Fred Hamori – Scythian Religious Terms.)
Which leads one to the below Article by the: Guardians of Darkness; Information on China provided by Y.M.N, a Chinese MD whom is apparently thoroughly familiar with Chinese History as well as the Turkic Steppe Tribes; perhaps one can gauge a deeper insight into Beuri before Evoking her via said material, to thereby flesh out her Hun bow 'Tulpa' characteristics of Nishan sign.
TURANIAN'S OF TURANIA ALL OF TURAN
"Turanian, adj. & n. [< Pers Turân, name used by Firdausi in The Shah Namah for a realm beyond the Oxus, as opposed to Irân (Persia) < Tur, in Iranian mythology one of the three mythical brothers from which mankind is supposedly descended.] Of or pertaining to the (mostly Asian) languages of the Ural and/or Altaic family, as opposed to those of the Indo-European ("Aryan") and Semitic families; of or pertaining to the speakers of these Ural-Altaic languages, particularly when considered as a race.
Here below is more of what is really known of these (TUR: Tur-kic, Tur-anian, Tur-qut, Tur-ia) people from a time long ago, from Chinese history. I (Tani Jantsang) saw the basic Dynastic History of China in a book and had them listed in order. I wrote something about it with my own commentary on it, sticking in the Turanian information where it belonged, but a Chinese person also said something similar; that is, he knew the Dynasties with much greater detail and also knew much about Chinese history with more details and a lot more accurate commentary, since he can read Chinese and see what it is saying.
This is not one article, but was a series of messages to another person who might have been, probably was, a Khalka from Mongolia today, and some of it was sent to me when I said something. In other words, it has been pieced together to form an article and then checked to make sure it was accurate, in which case, a lot more detail was given since it was intended to be on a website as an article. This is not from some silly, fictional story or from any mythology. It's real history of a real people that don't deserve to be equated with silly things like fairies or dwarfs or things that go bump in the night.
FROM THE TOMES OF ANCIENT CHINESE HISTORY
Much is written about these things in China, these are the basics. Nothing is known of where the Uralic or Altaic (Turanian) people were or came from before they came in waves to raid and conquer China. Therefore, the earliest records of these people would be from the Chinese history. The point is that these Turko-"Mongols" are in a sense, misnamed. "Mongol" was not the name of a race or nation back then when Chingis Khan's (Jenghis or Genghis) tribe decided to use it. "Mongol" was the name later given to a very tiny, insignificant tribe whose majority of members, even under Chingis Khan, were not of his own tribe at all. They were Tatars - or Turks. Tatar and Turk or Turqut - these are the same people. The members of the small "Mongol" tribe were also Turks. The actual name of the tribe Chingis Khan belonged to was Borjigin. Not "Mongol." The word "Mongol" was merely a word in their language by which the tribe was named, specifically chosen, due to an ancestor, Bodonchar Munhah or Munqaq, about whom stories were told of how he was a simple living and even weak man that survived against all odds. The word in the Tatar language for this was mung-hah, or mung-khakh, or munqaq, pronounced as I spelled it at first. It means "simple-living."
These people were not Oriental in the modern sense of how anyone uses the word. Bodonchar Munhah founded the Borjigin Clan of people (he also founded the Noyakin Clan, Barula Clan, Budaat Clan, Adargin Clan, Uruut Clan and Mangkhut Clan). Leaving out some of the descendants inbetween these more or less "main" ancestors, Khaidu Khan was of the Borjigin Clan, from his descendants you have Khabul Khan, Bartan Baatur, Yesugei Baatur and finally Temujin, who is later called Chingis Khan. Who these people were and their looks and ways was described in detail in Chinese history.
Today, the Khalka are the people that live in Mongolia. These are not the same people as were there in the past; these are not Turkic peoples that were the Khans of old at all. Therefore, naming the entire country "Mongolia" is a serious misnomer and very misleading. It leads to anyone not familiar with these fact to think that the wrong people were the warlike Khans of old. It also leads to the Khalka imagining themselves to be those same people when everything points to the fact that they are definitely not, despite adopting the Horse techniques from them. The people who were the Khans of old have either vanished into the Chinese gene pool or, for the most part, live in what used to be called Turkistan before the Soviet days. They are, in fact, the Turks. Little do people realize that the most purely Turkic people and the greatest number of them live outside of the country called Turkey.
SOME CHINESE HISTORY MOST COLOURFUL
(Modern Chinese transliteration is supplied along with the actual names of known Emperors. Keep in mind that the "last" name or family name is the first syllable you see for Chinese names.)
Previous to these actual rulers, are the rulers that have come down in legend: You Chao and Sui Ren who taught man to cook food with fire; the myth claims this happened around 50,000 BC.
San Huang - The Three Kings: Fu Hsi (Fu Xi) and his sister Nu Kwa, Shen Nong and Huang Ti (Huang Di Xuan Yuan). Huang Di, which means "Emperor Sage," is known as the Yellow Emporer. Huang Ti is said to have ruled from 2697-2599 BC.
Wu Di - The Five Emperors: 2598-2208 BC - Shao Han Jin Tian, Zhuan Su Gao Yan, Di Ku Gao Xin, Di Yao Tao Tang (Tang Yao), and Di Shun You Yu (Yu Shun).
Xia - Hsia Dynasty, 2205-1600 BC, founded by Emperor Yu. The first to use a paternal line of descent in order to put his son in power. Emperors after Yu were Qi, Tai Kang, Zhong Kang, Xiang, Shao Kang, Zhu, Fen, Mang, Xie, Bu Xiang, Jiong, Jin, Kong Jia, Hao Fa and Jie.
2000 BC marks the time of the Lung-shan culture and this culture continued patrilineal lines of descent, which became the norm.
Shang Dynasty, 1600-1066 BC, similar to the Lung-shan in culture. The first capital city P'o was ruled by Tang. Five other capitals existed, the last capital of Shang was Yin, founded by Tang, 1400 BC. Emperors of the Shang were Gao Zong, Xiao Zong, Guang Zong Ning Zong Li Zong Du Zong, Gong Di, Duan Zong and Di Bing.
Zhou - Chao Dynasty, 1066-221 BC specifically, Western Chou (founded by Wu) 1066-771 BC, Eastern Chou 800-300 BC, with states at War 770-221. Here was contact with these Turko-Tatar (Turanian) people. This entire Dynasty was a dynasty ruled by non-Han (non-Chinese) people from the North who were called Hsiung-nu and Tung-i. They were Turkic people. They had defeated the Shang. History explains and details that these rulers were very different in appearance from the Chinese Han who were known for black hair and a general cast of features. Some of these other non-Chinese people even had light or reddish hair.
WHEN IN CHINA ONE HAS TO MIX AND MARRY
If anything, one can start dating the mixing of these Nomadic people and the Han Chinese at this point because there was considerable mixing by arrangement of marriage (which was the norm for all peoples there). As such, the non-Han would not have had a choice in the matter and these Turkic men were more than willing to mate with Han women. If, for instance, a person with three Han grandparents and one Turkic grandparent later wanted to claim allegiance to Turkic tribes outside of China, he was accepted without question. As such, many men who were in fact mostly Han, but who sided with non-Han rulers or tribes were incorporated into the non-Han, whether they were racially something else or not. And when the Han proper rebelled and took back China, many Han people or partially Han people left with these northern Turkic barbarians. At the same time, many former barbarians, civilized by Chinese culture, remained in China with the rest of the Han people. They were, by then, Chinese. Keep in mind that the males of the Chinese culture were all polygamous and women didn't have much free choice to choose husbands. Turks, assimilated by the Chinese, followed the Chinese culture. Why that happened so quickly was due to the 'Shamanistic' Turk tolerance toward the customs of those they conquered and ruled. They usually never changed what was already there when it came to customs or religious practices. They ruled, however, collected taxes and such things as that.
THE TIME OF THE WARRING STATES PERIOD BIRTHING MANY A HONG KONG MOVIE
The Chou, by now thoroughly Chinese, pressed by yet other Northern Turkic people, moved their capital to Lo-yang. As we can see, the Turkic people were coming in waves into the Far East. The Northern regions had the nations of Yen, a newly named Chou, Wei and Han. The Middle nations were Ch'i, Lu and Sung. The Southern nations were Ch'u, Wu and Yueh. The nation of Ch'in were the lands of the Old Chao. The three Southern lands had people in them that did not speak Chinese and had non-Chinese customs. This is the Warring States Period so well known in Chinese history, that lasted from 770-221 BC.
Qin - Ch'in or Chin Dynasty, 221-206 BC. The time of the great Emperor Chin (Qin Shi Huangdi) after whom China is named, as an entire nation. He also merged the walls that were partially built during the Warring States period into one Great Wall. He merged the Great Wall to keep these Turkic invaders out.
Han Dynasty: Western 206 BC - 25 AD; Eastern 25-221 AD (Emperor Gao Zu also called Lui Bang). The Juan-juan and Hsiung-nu, both Turkic peoples, started to move slowly to the West and settled in East and Central Europe. As Tani Jantsang noted, these people and the rest of those invading China did not resemble the Chinese at all. In other words, on the street, no one would be confused about what kind of people they were as they are when they see Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tibetan, modern-day Outer Mongol (Khalka) and so forth today. There are many written, detailed descriptions of them in Chinese history.
Next came the transition period of Three Kingdoms: 221-265 AD: Wei, Shu Han and Wu.
Jin - Chin Dynasty: 265-420 AD: Western 265-316 AD, Eastern 317-420 AD. One hundreds or so years of this included sixteen kingdoms.
Song - Sung Dynasty 420-479 AD; a Southern Dynasty.
The Six Dynasties 420-581 AD; Northern Dynasties were North Wei 386-534, East Wei 534-550, North Qi 550-577, West Wei 535-557 and North Zhou 557-581. Southern Dynasties were Song 420-479, Qi 479-502, Liang 502-557 and Chen 557-589. Some of these overlap with other Dynasties.
ALTAIC ODQAN RUNES BECOMING SCANDINAVIAN ODIN OF RUNIC ALPHABET
At the same time, the Wei Dynasty of the Toba Turks ruled from 386-581 AD. These were a people quite distinct from the Han (Chinese). They had writing that was Runic and their Runes have been found. They are very similar to "Scandinavian" Runes, but much older. I find it odd that some of these runes found in the Orkhon Valley are dated to 800 AD when the Toba Turks predate that time. Perhaps they didn't find enough samples, or any older samples.
I must stress again, that any of these people that did not wander off away from mainland China, any who became part of the Chinese culture, would have intermarried with the Chinese Han. I must stress again, that any of the men wanting to disassociate themselves from the Han and unite with these others would have rejoined the others. As such, much mixture with Han continued to go on with all who stayed. The Han are not so exogamous as you think; in fact, far from it. But Turkic nomads most definitely were exogamous and much Turkic admixture got into the Chinese in this manner, if they stayed in or very near China as part of the culture just as much Slavic or other mixture went into these people in more westerly regions or when they invaded, conquered or settled in more Southerly lands.
THE SUI DYNASTY 581-618 AD; WEN DI AND YANG DI.
The Tang Dynasty 618-906 AD; Emperors Gao Zu, Tai Tsung (Taizong), Empress Wu Ze Tian, Xuan Zong, De Zong, Xian Zong, Wu Zong, Xuan Zong,
In what is now northwestern China, the Uighur Turks had a Dynasty, 745-840 AD, which almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty.
In 843 AD the Sari-Uighur Turks and the Khirgiz Turks tried to take over the Uighur Dynasty.
In 880 AD another group, the Sha-t'o or Toquz Oguz, a famous and very large tribe of Turks, led a revolt against the T'ang. These are the same Oguz Turks that were in Eastern Europe, along with the Pecheneg Turks, as described by some Arab scholars that traveled and wrote travelogues.
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms 902-979 AD: Liang 907-923, Tang 923-936, Jin 936-946, Han 947-950 and Zhou 951-960, despite the same names, these are later dynasties.
The Northern Sung (Song) Dynasty 960-1126 AD. Emporers Tai Tsu (Tai Zu), Tai Zong, Zheng Zong, Ren Zong, Yin Zong, Shen Zong, Zhe Zong, Hui Zong and Qin Zong.
During this period the Liao or Khitai Turks ruled the whole North of China: 947-1125 AD. They also conquered the Uighur Dynasty and in 926 AD, destroyed the Korean kingdom of Pohai.
The Southern Sung (Song) Dynasty 1127-1279 AD. Emporers Gao Zong, Xiao Zong, Guan Zong, Ning Zong, Li Zong, Du Zong, Gong Di, Duan Zong, and Mo Di. During this period the Chin or Kin (Jin), the Jurchid people (Tungusic Manchu-type people) ruled the whole north: 1122-1234 AD. Along with them to the West was the Kingdom of the Hsi-hsia (Xia) or Tangut. Northwest of this was the Kara-Khitai Turkish Empire extending outside of China and a smaller Kingdom of the Uighur Turks closer inland in China. Further west of the Kara-Khitai Turks was the Khwarizmian Empire, an Islamic Turkic empire that supplanted the previous Seljuk Turks.
THE EXOTIC CIVILISATIONS OF THE DRAGON
Keep in mind that all larger empires of this type, especially Islamic ones, had written records and spendid civilizations. Keep in mind also that the Seljuk Turks would have been thoroughly intermixed with the people in the lands they ruled. They never once in history ever waged a religious war, nor were they racially aware at that time at all. Keep in mind that these Turkic peoples dealt with others of their own Turkic people when they went anywhere Westerly outside of mainland China, unless they dealt with Slavic peoples or other Indo-Europeans in more Southerly regions. Keep in mind that the Turks interacting with the Chinese, were mixing with the Chinese and, while many people stayed in China to eventually become Chinese, some left China and were accepted as part of the Turks still in the Far East.
Next we have the Yuan or "Mongol" Dynasty 1260-1368, which united the whole country of China again. By this time, the rest of the Turks, who had been wandering and conquering in more westerly regions, remained where they were; they were not intermixing with the Han Chinese but were interacting with other Turkic people who had been in Eastern and Central Europe from centuries before, and interacting with Slavs. They were also conquering more southerly European and Semitic lands once again. Emporers of the Yuan were Shih tsu (Shi zu (Kublai Khan), Empress of the Khan Tai Khu (Shi zi), Chen Chen (Cheng Zong), Khai Shan (Wu Zong), Ren Zong, Wen Zong, Ning Zong and Shun Di.
The Ming Dynasty 1368-1644 AD overthrew the Yuan or "Mongol" Dynasty. Emporers were Cheng Tsu (Tai Zu), Cheng Tsu (Cheng Zu) the emporer who moved the capital of China from Ninjing to Beijing and built the Imperial Palace (The Forbidden City), Ren Zong, Xuan Zong, Ying Zong, Xian Zong, Xiao Zong, Wu Zong, Shi Zong, Mu Zong, Shen Zong, Guang Zong, Xi Zong and Si Zong
At that time there was also an Oirat Empire, 1434 AD, which extended from Lake Baikal to just near the Great Wall. The "Mongol Empire," that is to say, the Yuan, passed into the Oirat's control. At a time when most of the other Turks had converted to the Moslem religion, the Oirat were anti-Islamic Buddhists.
ISLAMIC SILVERY TONGUE CONVERSIONS ALONG THE SILK-ROAD
The Ming (Han Chinese people) were on the side of the Oirats against the Eastern Mongol Empire of the so-called Kublaids (people claiming to be from the line of Kublai Khan). The Oirats were Turks. The Kublaids, by this time, were thoroughly Chinese through intermarriage. For instance, Kublai's father was named Tolui; Toliu was the youngest son of Chingis Khan. Tolui's first wife was Sorqoqtani Beki and she was the mother of Kublai, her fourth son. So far, it's all still Turkic. Kublai was the Khan of China's Yuan Dynasty. His wife, named Tai Khu had a second son named Chen Chen (the name Chen Chen or "Cheng Zong" means "true gold" in Chinese). As such, one can see that in one generation, the offspring of Kublai Khan that lived in China became Chinese in culture. Chen Chen's son Tarmabala had a son named Khai Shang who became one of the later Yuan Dynasty Khans. It would be noted that many of the more Western Turks, having become Islamic, adapted to the Islamic culture in the same ways. However, they were primarily intermarrying with other Turks previously there who had long ago turned Islamic.
There are Chinese drawings, painted by a Chinese artist on stretched silk, made of Kublai Khan and of Chingis Khan. However these date from around the time of Kai Shang, long after the actual Kublai Khan, grandson of Chingis Khan, was dead. The artist painted them both to look typically Chinese. By the time the descendants of Kublai were present for the artwork, one probably posing for the drawing, they were thoroughly Chinese. However, there also exists an actual painting of Kublai Khan that was made of him when he was very much alive and shows him handing Marco Polo the Papal letter. Keep in mind that European artists drew in real perspective, while Chinese artists did not use that style.
The Oirats tried to also take over the remnants of the Kublaid Empire in Mongolia itself, 1470-1543 AD, but they were repulsed by Dayan Khan and later by the Khalka Khans. Keep in mind that these people, the Kublaids and Dayan Khan and the Khalka, were not Turkic people; they were Asians. Dayan Khan's territory was just what is now called Mongolia. The Khanates to succeed Dayan were the Ordos Khanate, whose members adopted Lamaism in 1566 AD, and the Khalka Khanate. The people of Outer Mongolia today are Khalka. The Kublaids, including the Khalka, are very much Chinese people with a Tibetan-Buddhist culture and an Altaic language. These are the people that by now were dealing with and mixing with the Chinese, both Han and Tungus in China, for centuries. The rest had long left the area of Chinese influence.
Qing - Ch'ing, Ching or Manchu Dynasty, the actual name of these Manchus for themselves was Nuchen, 1644-1911 AD. Manchus are a Tungus people; they are not Turks. Emporers were Tai Zu, Tai Zong, Shi Zu Shun Zhi, Sheng Zu Kang Xi, Shi Zong Yong Zheng, Gao Zong Qian Long, Ran Zong Jia Qing, Wuan Zong Dao Guang, Wen Zong Xian Feng, The Empress Tzu-hsi (CiXi), Mu Zong Tong Zhi, De Zong Guang Xu and Pu Yi who was enthroned by Emperor Xuan Tong. The Oirat, or what was at this time called Jungarian Empire, ended with Amursana who was attacked. Amursana and his people took refuge with the Russians in Siberia in 1757. Jungaria was annexed to the Chinese Ch'ing Empire and the population, I regret to say, was exterminated and replaced with Turkic Islamic settlers who were obviously not Chinese.
THE NOMADIC TRIBES OF THE ALTAI CROSS-ROADS
You need to understand that these Turks in the Altai, a people already dealing with the Han (Chinese) for centuries, for thousands of years, even, and thoroughly mixed (unless they left forever for the West where other Turks were) took many wives among the Han and had many children. While the Han might not have accepted them so readily, at least not the first half breeds, Turk nomads most definitely did accept them as "their own." Understand that whenever the mothers of these children were Han, the children were thoroughly Chinese - their culture and language was Chinese and they were much more readily accepted as Chinese. Understand also that life in a highly civilized China was much preferable to life in the freezing cold steppes. Sleeping in a luxurious Chinese home was preferable to sleeping in a cold Yurt (tent). Eating well prepared Chinese food with rich flavor was preferable to having to hunt for food. [It would be comparable to this: 1. living in a modern home with central heat and air and modern conveniences; or 2. sleeping outside on the ground and having no conveniences.] Once civilized by China, it was not too easy for such people to survive in the harsh climate that these Turks lived in and came from. In a sense, one might say that this is an excellent strategy for making their generations into Chinese. Also, if Han males hated their own Han rulers, they sometimes fled out of mainland China for more Northern parts where they might be accepted by the natives there, or so I would think. If they weren't accepted, it would have been because they were too weak or "soft." That didn't happen all too often due to the reasons stated above." (Derived from: Guardians of Darkness)
ASSUMING THE ALTERNATE PERSONA OF A STEPPE SHAMAN

As a Shaman of the Steppe one will also learn to become highly versed in the Magickal lore of the Hun Runes to thereby heal all distempers in others as well as animals, to also win the Familiar Spirits of a Shaman, which one will know of to experience via ones Lucid Dreams. Such Lucid Dreams one to have will be empowered by ones Evocation of the Succubus Bueri.
OSEA CAT-WOMAN SHAPEHIFTER WITCH: The Fifty-Seventh Spirit is Osea, Osoa, or Vosoa.

She governeth 30 Legions of Spirits like unto her self; but beware, she does have very sharp claws whom requires feeding on a regular basis.
SHAPESHIFTER SORCERY OF THE SKIN-WALKER DREAMER
When one Evokes Osea she may inform one about Toltec Sorcery practices and of Shamanism in general to speak much about Power Animals; as for the Toltec's, they are of an archaeological Mesoamerican culture, which had once dominated a state centred in Tula, Hidalgo in the early post-classic period of Mesoamerican chronology (ca 800-1000 CE). The later Aztec culture saw the Toltecs as their intellectual and cultural predecessors and described Toltec culture emanating from Tollan (Nahuatl for Tula) as the epitome of civilization, indeed in the Nahuatl language the word "Toltec" came to take on the meaning "Artisan".
The Aztecs glorified the Toltec’s in order to be able to legitimize their own structures of power by claiming royal descent from Toltec lineages. The Florentine Codex describes the Aztec view of the Toltecs like this:
"The Tolteca were wise. Their works were all good, all perfect, all wonderful, all marvellous... They invented the art of medicine... And these Tolteca were very wise; they were thinkers, for they originated the year count... These Tolteca were righteous. They were not deceivers. Their words [were] clear words . . . They were tall; they were larger [than the people today]... They were very devout... They were rich. (Sahagún, 1950–1982: book 10, 165–170)"
It is from the Toltec’s that the Aztec forms of Magick are ultimately derived, which was distinctly seen as being separate from religious practice; although there is some overlap such as that of the Aztec priesthoods infatuation with divination, which was clearly Magickal of nature, while some Aztec spells called upon particular deities for help, belief in Magick is not a central focus nor a necessity in ancient Aztec religious beliefs. The Aztec religion is focused mainly upon devotion and worship directed towards their deities, rather than upon the practice of spells as being the major form of their religious ritual. Religion and Magick were seen as being two distinctly different practices, which may be combined by individual practitioners, but were often separated in regards to public rituals.
The term Nahualli denotes two different, yet connected things. In one use, the word Nahualli is used to describe a spiritual twin of a person, which is almost always manifests in Animal form. The Nahualli is very similar to that of the Norse term of the Fylgja. Should one thereby look to the Norse Fylgja one might gain a greater insight into the Nahualli of similarity. In Norse mythology, a Fylgja (Old Norse, literally "Someone that Accompanies," plural Fylgjur) is a Supernatural being or creature which accompanies a person in connection to their Fate or Fortune. Fylgjur usually appear in the form of an Animal and commonly manifests within ones Dreams, but the sagas relate that they could also manifest while a person is awake as well, and that seeing one's Fylgja is an Omen of one's impending death; although such is a later Christianised perception. However, when Fylgjur appear in the form of ‘Women,’ they are often seen as guardian spirits for groups of people or clans (ätter) or that of being associated with the manifestations of the Valkyries in regards to Sorcerers. Closely aligned to the Fylgja is the Hamingja; In Norse mythology the Hamingja (Old Norse "Luck") refers to two concepts; the personification of the 'Good Fortune' or Luck of an individual or family, and, secondly, refers to a power, which allows for the altered appearance of ‘Shape-shifters.’ Both Andy Orchard and Rudolf Simek note parallels between the concept of the Hamingja (a personification of a family or individual's fortune) and the Fylgja.
The word Hamingja comes from Ham-(g)engja, that is Hamur and Ganga, meaning a Spirit that takes a certain form or appearance, which is in essence that of the Fylgja. Some have conjectured that the word Hamur describes the tissue, which covers Fetuses, and therefore Hamingja is probably a Spirit that accompanies a person from birth. The modern use of the word Hamingja means "happiness" or "joy". In the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century it used to mean "Luck" or "Fortune". Which led one to believe that one could not control ones own Hamingja, when some have lots of Luck while others little. This belief most probably comes from the oldest meaning of the word Hamingja, that is Verndarvættur (Protective Spirit), Heilladís (a Fairy of Luck) and Fylgja. The use of this meaning of the word can be found in Icelandic folklore.
“Fer þá skapanorn hans og hamingja og sækir geit þá er mjólkurmest var á kvíunum „ég óska mér engra launa“ svaraði kerling, „því ég er hamingja þín“ (Trans.: Then his skapanorn (Witch or Norn of Fate) and Hamingja leaves and goes to get the goat that had the most milk. "I ask of no paiment", the old woman said, "For I am your Hamingja".
There are still sayings in Iceland where the Hamingja is addressed, like: „Það má Hamingjan vita“ ("that the Hamingja knows", meaning "who knows") eða „Hamingjan hjálpi mér!“ ("May the Hamingja help me", said when one is really surprised at something and even shocked).
As one can see, even though one has two separate and very different cultures there is a distinct similarity between the Norse Fylgja and the Aztec usage of the Toltec term of the Nahaulli. The Aztec deities have their own Nahualli as well. For example, Tezcatlipoca’s Nahualli form is Tepeyollotl, a Jaguar God, and Huitzilopochtli’s are the Hummingbird and the Eagle, one also finds a similarity here with the Norse Shaman God Odin who has Raven's, Wolve's and an Eagle being associated with him as well as other Animals, which he can Shape-shift into.
Every person is seen to have their own Nahualli. The Nahualli is an Animal that one has a Spiritual connection to. In this form, a Nahualli is much like the concept of a Totem Animal, which can be found in other Native American cultures as well as going across the Bering-Straits into Siberia and elsewhere across the globe of most ancient Shamanistic practice. Usually, the Nahualli has traits that reflect those of the person they belong to. Unlike the concept of a Totem Animal, the Nahualli denotes an actual individual Animal believed to exist, either in the Spirit world or in the physical world itself (depending on regional beliefs). The Nahualli is the Spiritual twin of a person, said to have been born at the same time and share the portion of the soul known as the Tonalli, which is often seen as being a Contra-Sexual entity like that of the Norse Fylgja, that is, for a Man the Nahualli would be Female, while a Woman would have a Male Nahualli.
In the Spiritual realms, a person might be able to 'Shape-shift' into the Animal form of their Nahualli. In other cases, a Nahualli may appear much like the European concept of a Familiar Animal, showing itself as an individual Animal of a person’s Nahualli species, which the person has a Mental and Spiritual connection to in this world. While this connection gave strength, it was also vulnerable; a person could be harmed or killed should their Nahualli Animal be lost or attacked; whereupon there were certain practitioners who were able to find another's Nahualli in order to empower or heal them; however such required powerful Shamanistic abilities.
The other definition for Nahualli is a Sorcerer who have established a symbiotic relationship with their Spiritual twin of an Animal, as well as other forms of Magick. The most famous trait attributed to the Nahualli of legend is the ability to Shape-shift into their Animal forms. Belief in this form of Sorcery outlasted even the conquest; the Spanish friars were frightened of the Aztec Sorcerers and often recorded events attributed to them. In modern Mexico, the term Nahualli has been transformed into 'Nagual,' and the concept still survives in some form, which was popularised by the works of Carlos Castaneda.
Accomplished Nahualli Sorcerers could use their Spiritual Animals for many things, and the most powerful Sorcerers were said to "collect" Spiritual Animals so as to utilise their powers. In order to do this, the Sorcerer was said to journey into the Spiritual realms during Dreaming and trap an Animal there, which could also manifest in Human form; whereupon a 'Male' Sorcerer would seek out those Spiritual Animals, which would manifest in a Contra-Sexual 'Feminine' form. Different species of Animals granted different powers, which allowed the Sorcerer to assume more forms to Shape-shift into, but no matter how many Animals a Nahualli Sorcerer collected, he would only have one true Nahualli, one Animal twin, which was connected to his Soul. One could thereby perceive that the listed Spirits of the Medieval Grimoires describe the Fylgja complex of Spiritual Animals and that of their Human manifestations and abilities; however, for a Male Sorcerer such listed Spirits would be Female.
In addition to the powers of Animals, Aztec Sorcerers were well versed in herbs and Magickal concoctions, and often seemed to walk a fine line between Curer one moment and hired Curse merchant the next. There is significant evidence that a great deal of Aztec Sorcery relied upon a knowledge and in depth understanding of very real forms of seemingly mystical Assassination; in the purely mystical realm, however, Aztec Sorcerers were also feared and revered for their strong abilities in navigating the Spiritual worlds through their Dreams. A truly accomplished Nahualli could strike at his enemies’ Souls or heal his clients’ Spirits during Dreaming. Such Dreaming practices were usually preceded by extremely lengthy rituals and supplications made to various deities upon whose territory the Nahualli wished to proceed. It is important to note, however, that asking permission to proceed with ones will is a very different matter than calling upon the deities to run errands for one, which is the difference between Religious practice and that of Sorcery.
ASSUMING THE ALTERNATE PERSONA OF A SHAPE-SHIFTING SORCERER
When a Male practitioner Evokes the Succubus Osea he can assume the Alternate Persona of a Sorcerer who specialises in Shape-Shifting, one could otherwise call a 'Skinwalker' to thereby experience within his Dreams to make Lucid of Awareness, which the Succubus Osea will empower. One will be able to assume numerous Animal forms within ones Lucid Dreams, which will thence enable one to travel over land, air and sea into varying locales to thereby Remote-View, whether it be that of other peoples Dreams or places. The assumption of Animal forms within ones Lucid Dreams will also enable one to awaken other abilities within ones self, which upon awakening from a Dream will become externalsed such as that of attaining the strength of a Bear when needed or the ferocity of a Wolf as well as many another ability, which the Succubus Osea will duly empower; this will be especially the case should one practice the Martial Arts or some Sport. However, the ability to assume Animal forms within ones Lucid Dreams will also give one an insight into how ones fellow creatures think and feel, whereby one can initiate an Interspecies Communication; whence one can talk to the Animals by ones thought alone; this will in turn feed into ones Artistic creativity if one is so inclined.
