What is the meaning of a white jaguar? The jaguar is sacred to the South American Indian culture, especially the Mayan. The jaguar women were at the top of the pyramid of power, I am told. The jaguar is a symbol of getting to the heart. Most cats reward their mate with the organ meat. The Mayan art depicts the jaguar holding the human heart.
White is more often the color of death in world cultures than black. White is often death, yes, or can be sacred to a particular God. They thought the brain was a useless mess. This might be why people thought they had to refine things white. But yes, in voodoo and also in China, white means death. White and black are not universal in meaning by far, but real white was the male part of the yin yang, so yang and male energy.
White was the symbol of the soul and was in Egypt too. White was the color of the great serpent. Black was the color of their Sun God. He was symbolized by an obsidian mirror and to Norse the white worm was the one chewing the tree of life, fafnir. The South American Sun God, patron of the emperor, war deity and devourer of hearts. The feathered serpent was the God of wisdom and invention.
There are many animals in this big world. This is why the Sams tarot deck has spare cards to personalize your deck, and why I recommend it. This is how all these meanings come to us. I, for instance, separate the bumble bee from other bees as it has special meaning to me and the meaning came to me from experiences. I surely recommend any creature drawing your attention. It has a message, so put them on your list. The number and color of things is always meaningful.
One way to get a sense for the message is to look the animal up in a child’s nature book. There will likely be colourful pictures and the kind of basic info to help you. Then a regular encyclopaedia works too. See what stands out to you. Asking your guides for help to understand is also advised.
