Though there are not that many that have advanced to this state and stand before us as proof, but there are documents that are not readily available for us to inspect that indicate such requirements. If any of you know anything of witchcraft then you know when you advance into the world of Magik and immortality in the dark arts, then this would be a requirement. The flesh sustains them, and the soul keeps them immortal. Unlike normal creatures that eat flesh these witches survive on the flesh of humans as well as their souls. Yes, you heard me right these witches will eat you if you are not careful. Some say that they are just a type of sorceress that is at an expert level of Magik in the dark artsĪs if their appearance isn’t terrifying enough, but legend tells us that these witches eat humans. Some even believe that these are women that may have been murdered by their lovers and are here only to seek revenge on those who have done them wrong in any way. And at their death they swore to get revenge on those who harmed them including anyone who dared get in their way. Another common tale is that these women were accused long ago for practicing witchcraft by people in their village and were later killed for it. One of the more common origin stories state that Lechuzas sold their souls to the devil for magical powers. But there are too many that believe and have claimed to see this witch to just shrug it off as just a campfire story. Some even claim that it can go as far back as biblical times. This legend has been around since before the time of the conquistadors and the like. This legend is so old that there is no solid origin. Which makes this legend so terrifying because it states in the legend that they may hunt in packs. Like there are covens of witches there are flocks of Lechuza’s. One unique feature that also separates her from ordinary birds is that she has the head of an old woman, that is twisted and decaying. In the daylight, La Lechuza walks among us as a normal woman, but at night she can shapeshift into a terrifying giant owl that flies, attacks those she dislikes or wants to eat, and warns of tragedy.Īs the legend goes, those who are blessed with her presence in creature form will see her as a huge, black owl glaring at them from above with a predatory gaze. In folklore from Mexico and parts of South and West Texas, she is a witch that can turn into a huge owl. But before I go any further I want to explain who or what she is and where she came from.įirst off let me help those who don’t know Spanish. Many in my family have claimed to have heard or seen her. So, I grew up hearing the many legends of Mexico. See I grew up in El Paso, TX and my family is actually from Meoqui, Chihuahua, Mexico. What I want to know is have you ever heard of La Lechuza?
But as you know that is only one of the many legends of Mexico. I am sure that most of you have heard of the legend of La Llorona which is now more popular due to the mass publicity of the box office movie.
