alma de mula

She is also known by the name of Alma Mula, Mulánima, Mala Mula, Mujer Mula and Mula sin Cabeza. Legend spread in the North and Center of the country, which would be a derivation of the Widow. She is a woman transformed into a mule for having had love affairs with a priest, or committing incest. It is described as a black or chestnut brown mule with long ears that runs through the fields at night, casting fire from its nose and mouth, and flashes from its eyes. She is accompanied by the creaking of her golden bridle, and from time to time she makes a sad bray. It also drags heavy chains, like other condemned beings.

It is not usually very discreet, since it crosses important populations at night, on the run and with all its paraphernalia. At their proximity, the dogs bark like crazy. Run to the sheep. Apparently it feeds only on meat, hunting animals and also children. According to reports, he likes to hang around in the hot and heavy naps of summer, the galleries of the old rooms and the patios of the ranches. Who looks at it, will lose their life or be the victim of a misfortune. His braying, almost human because of the pain and anguish that he transmits, shakes those who hear him.

To save the soul of this condemned woman, you have to wait for her in a strategic place with a knife, and when it happens, cut off her ear or mane. His blood running, will operate as a redemptive element, breaking his enchantment. You will become a beautiful and coveted woman. If any man stops to look at her, he will be captivated and for her he will abandon family, work and friends to follow her, and will soon die, consumed by passion. This enchantment for the look can be given even if the Mule Soul does not abandon its animal appearance.
