"Evil caçador" legends of the Wild Hunt in Catalonia Maresme

The legends of the "bad caçador" evil " hunter is one of the legends / myth spread of Indo-European culture, although he probably recognize more quickly if we call it by its original name: wild game - "the wild hunt." In it the protagonist, usually a character or adormentado unhappy, or just unfortunate-is pursued or pursuing a ghostly or demonic entourage continuously or eternal punishment, curse, or divine.

Behind this traditional fairy tale, traditional revised depending on the cultural evolution, there is a primary myth about the tenuous barrier between this world and the Hereafter. In the original myth, the wild hunt, the hunter is usually a god associated with life, death and magic, and behind him there are a number of characters from another world. The dam, however, often takes the form of sexual prey, a deer, a female ... the meaning of myth, but is still built on the basis of conjecture.

See the wild game was an omen of disaster or death, and served as a warning to criminals at night. Anyway, this myth should have a reason, for example, related to the fact that wild game could be seen in key dates, calendar dates associated with large seasonal rites, in which the living world and the Underworld meet. Wild game is a magical myth that both internal death, fertility, resurrection and nature.

In Catalonia there are two legends that circulate around the base of the Wild Hunt: the legend of "Comte Arnau" and the words "evil caçador." In the case of Comte Arnau, he pursues and is pursued by ghosts and demons as punishment for their misdeeds. But in the case of "bad caçador" we find a more or less anonymous, due to disrespect for the church, is doomed to wander like a lost soul followed by a retinue of hell, by the Catalan forests.

Other names of myth in Catalunya:

• Caçador of
Lluna
• Caçador Caçador negre of King Robert the Devil
• Riatus
• Calamun
• Comte Arnau

The story:

A holiday that the hunter wanted to use for hunting, decided first pass through the church to hear Mass, but he was near the door to leave before the others. Just at the moment when the priest raised the host to start the fellowship, the hunter saw a hare crossed quickly through the front door. The hunter ran after her, chased by their dogs. Since then nobody has heard of him, and he says he was sentenced to forever pursue the dam throughout the country as punishment for their lack of faith.

Meaning:

Perhaps this myth, the hunter is another personification or symbolizes the god of death, leading humans to another world. However, there are some points that indicate that it is indeed an ancient pre-Christian myth: the fact that it is considered an outcast for religion and the fact that go hunting, chasing a hare, a symbol of fertility and connected to Catalan traditional witches. This leads me to believe, another reformulation over hunting wild Indo-European tradition.

Joan Soler i Amigó in the Encyclopedia of Popular Catalana Fantasia, besides mentioning the link with ancient myths and characters from another world, refers to the connection of hunting wild with these days related to death. For example, says that in Catalonia is considered sin to go hunting on Christmas, winter solstice, and the day of the dead, the Celtic festival of Samhain, probably for wanting to emulate a character as avoidable as the god of the Underworld, hunting souls to take with them. Again, the Christian interpretation of the myth suggests the reason for the bans, long before any Judeo-Christian motive.

Discharge Versus Ovulation

Warlocks

In this post I have collected several examples of the presence of "bruixots" (sorcerers)-typically rated the witches in the territory of Maresme. Here you will find the most famous, or who had more impact.

• Ramon Polanyi, bruixot of Canyamars (legend / fact)

Despite not having too many stories about witches or magicians Catalunya, again found in the Maresme a unique character, which gives you even more mystery to stories about witchcraft and traditional folklore of the country. As we can imagine, even men who practiced magic or witchcraft were better views than their female counterparts, although their actions are socially unacceptable.

In Catalonia, and especially in the Maresme, witches were considered great artists of storms. From the smoke of a fire, warlocks where the storm had wanted. The only way to prevent storms from reaching the villages was the church bells.

Dosrius If, for example, we have the story of Ramon Polanyi, a wizard of Canamars, which according was able to summon the biggest storms in the area. Polanyi, theoretically, lived during the nineteenth century Dosrius area, and Cels Gomis-Catalan folklore expert of the era reminds us of what came to mean the same witch, and the trajectory of his life, he did weather forecasts that were met by improbable they were. Polanyi

made life difficult for some residents of Dosrius-especially one named Ramon Batlle, who would not let him participate in a cleanup of land. And so each year Batlle lost their crop. After seven years Polanyi confessed their deeds, and conducted Dosrius a pilgrimage from the Corridor each year.

• Antoni Puig, Torroella sorcerer (done)

This village confessed in 1603 that while working in Pineda de Mar, there appeared an devil in human form called ova, which promised wealth and prosperity if accompanied him. Furthermore, told him that with his help to become a doctor, and give wisdom to any plant medicines needed. All this in exchange for his soul. Thus came the oath of kisses, which so often told in folklore of witchcraft, and began a three-year commitment, during which Antonio Puig successfully practiced medicine until an accident happened, a child was killed by the warlock therapy prescribed.

After a long period of terror and anxiety, ova appeared again and invited Antoni to go somewhere where they do not bother: the Montnegre. Once there, Antoni said some sort of religious phrase wrongly, and everything disappeared. After the trance, the same Antoni was given to the Inquisition, so that any confession obtained without any kind of torture, and as punishment only had to serve 5 years in the local hospital.

• Other wizards:

The Sant basketmaker Iscle of Vallalta, it is said that rose on the back of a black dog the mountain and there he played the drum to call witches, who rose to hear the top.

Whitey was another master sorcerer of Arenys de Munt, who was also famous for invoking storms and tempests, and according to popular tradition, was one of the most powerful and famous in the area.

Witch Hunt in Catalonia, between the sixteenth and seventeenth

Influenced by witch-hunting in Europe, Catalunya was not far behind in terms of processes and performances are concerned. It is known that between 1617 and 1622 were carried out 400 executions reported. If only there were 400 in 5 years, how many could be reached in the two centuries-long barbarism? It should be noted, however, that between 1617 and 1622 was the "game" per se , the height of those processes in which we focus.

the year 1617 lived Catalunya one of the worst periods in its history this year, plus several epidemics and plagues, lived the so-called "Flood" of 1617, several weeks of continuous flooding and natural disasters. All that could have only one reason: the Devil. In fact many of the witch persecutions were based on the belief that they caused the storms and destroying crops, and that was the worst that could happen. The authorities obviously were witches as being responsible for anything that would generate social unrest, so I supported until the end of these persecutions.

Map:

Catalunya was not exempt from characters who openly took advantage of these processes: the witch hunters. Surely the most famous of the territory outside Cosme Soler, also called Tarragó, together with Laurent Calmell, Joan and Jordi Malet Aliberc. Tarrago, however, was the best known, as well as having knowledge of herbs, therefore, he could have been tried as a witch, he boasted of being able to find the mark of the devil in the bodies of the accused: a mark on a houndstooth. Finally, it ended up being imprisoned by the bishop of Solsona, but was released and continued his practice until 1620.

And so began the process by first accused with or without foundation, the madness was spreading, and spent a territory to another. Thus, to achieve all of Catalonia, and up to 400 victims passed by the gallows. In the case of Catalonia, unlike the cases of Zugarramundi in Euskadi, the Inquisition had no role, but the judges were officers and gentlemen royal courts. Of torture practices were extracted and the names of the other partners of rituals, and thus the scope of the witch hunt was growing.

Biternas Bruges and rites (Pallars): Valentina for Eulàlia

Surely one of the best known of Biternas is its' Boch ', her goat and its role in the local witches' sabbath. In legal briefs at the time, especially in the "Oridnacions de les Valls d'Àneu" (1424), speaks of the presence of witches in the area, meeting at night to worship the Boch. What is curious about the mention of Boch is that at no point in the text is considered to represent the Devil Boch, and that worship is not worship certainly reads like a demon, only magic. Once Biternas, of course, the witches, in this case did not contemplate the presence of witches, carried out infanticide or causes swellings in the neck area.

Example Biternas witchcraft in the case of Valentina Guarner, acussada, hung and burned as a witch last year 1485. During his trial, and probably under torture, "Valentina said she had conducted rituals of honoring the Biternas Boch, and had also killed children, but refused to do the same with your child.

Guarner, Molins de Rei Witch

Most interesting about the trial conducted Eulàlia the year 1424 is described in detail practices with which they are accusing this woman, officially considered one of the first "metzineres"-poisoners-de Catalunya.

Molins Eulàlia reached after a failed marriage, but soon took to be expelled from the house of the man with whom he lived, it is said, for stealing and doing witchcraft. So she married a man who claimed that she was powerless, and in the evenings and some days it was the man who had previously cast, something that was popular domain.

However, the whole town knew all the little practices that Eulàlia carried out. Once, his mistress opened her bag in public and found in it many rags with multiple knots, along with a lodestone, the Carama, according Eulàlia, rags and stone were used to maintain pair bonds, although it is unclear whether he meant union with her lover or her husband .

Another practice that was reported during the trial of Eulalia was the fact or did she keep wax figures nailed them pins, unequivocal proof of their relationship with ancient folk practices.

Finally, her lover, convinced that he had seduced Eulàlia witchcraft, told the judge that she had hair of his, and thereby probably also getting he want to see it again and again.

Camins and Bonadona Sança of two cases of midwives tried for witchcraft Catalunya

During the time when the witch hunt began in Catalonia, and even before that madness was unleashed in full, the healers and midwives were undoubtedly Focus of all accusations and suspicion regarding the evil nature of his actions or not. They knew the miracle of life, and especially in the case of midwives, the completely feminine atmosphere that surrounded him to perform his art was considered highly suspect.

No wonder that, in fact, the first process of the XV century on record in Catalonia was carried out against a midwife, in this case, against Sança of Camins. Sança was accused of practicing a very special ritual at the time of delivery. According to the documents found in the Archives of the Diocese of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bSança provided a table as an altar and invoked the "Trip." According to some anthropologists and scholars such as Teresa Vinyoles, the "Trip" referred to a body of threefold nature, which currently relate to other triple goddesses, but could have been of any nature. Camins was processed Sança of the year 1419, and subsequently convicted.

Case of Bonadona not far behind either. Bonadona was the midwife of the court of King John I of Aragon, and was not formally accused "witches" for causing death by disease of the promised King, Joan of Valois. The king was more than willing to end the life of a midwife, but his mother, Elionor, urged him not to end his life, he was one of the best midwives in the court, and his services were to need. Fortunately, the king did not proceed with their intentions, and Bonadona even attended the birth of her unborn child, eight years later. The odd thing is that the king did not hesitate to directly blame their misfortunes Bonadona, for who but had power over life and death?
