In an Ancient Mythos dating to the 2nd Century AD in Mesoamerica – in particular Mayan Culture, speaks of The ''Jaguar Slayers''. Ritual Texts state that these could have been either Human (Male) Warriors or even certain Gods. The Jaguar was seen as both a ''terrestrial'' beast (Predator), who existed not only in this World, but in The Heavens (Afterlife). ''Slayers'' were decorated in painted spots all over their body or solid (head to toe). Black and Brown were the preferred colors. Warriors would participate in elaborate Ceremonies and Dancers, often under the influence of various drugs. Thus, so ''mentally prepared'' – The Warriors could ''engage'' The ''Spiritual Demon'' seen as The Jaguar (Cat).
