Hola buenos dias amigos, como he posteado anteriormente, hay varios temas que a pesar de no ser experto, me gusta pensar que me apasionan. uno de estos es el tema de los mitos en nuestra cultura, Estoy seguro que es un tema que se escucha en muchos o todos los paises.
En nuestra cultura, todos los mitos de alguna manera se van transmitiendo por generaciones pero es seguro que muchos ya desaparecieron, debido que hacemos nada para conservarlos, es el mismo que sucede con los dialectos o lenguas. En mi caso personal, fui educado por mis abuelos que se regian mucho con los refranes para aconsejar, nos contaban muchas leyendas y eran afisionados a los mitos. Y como obviar los metodos curativos con plantas y semillas, que era tradicionalmente muy efectivas.
Pero en esta ocasion quisiera compartir con ustedes, algunos de los mitos que recuerdo e incluso nos motivaron en algun momento a probar su veracidad. Aunque claro no todos lo logramos.
Para el caso, me contaba mi papa que él fue testigo en varias ocasiones de algunas apariciones, ya que para llegar a nuestra caso en aquellos tiempos, teníamos que atravesar largos caminos y veredas, saltar cercos y quebradas. Pues en uno de estos caminos remotos y solitarios, tenía que pasar bajo uno de estos, y que además por ser solitaria esa zona, se prestaba para que lo usaran para hacer lo que mencione.
Bueno mis abuelos y mi padre aseguraban que ahí había que pasar sin ver hacia arriba o los lados, teníamos que pasar viendo hacia adelante, de lo contrario te exponías a ver cosas que te podían afectar. De hecho no falto aquel que se atrevió a desobedecer y termino en la casa de algún curandero, pues había quedado afectado por lo que vio. Cuentan que ven personas colgadas, veían monos que se convertían en humanos o viceversa, entre otros.
El secreto para no ser afectado, era no mirar a ningún lado que no fuera hacia adelante, existen otros secretos para protegerse de los sustos pero lo voy a dejar para un tema adicional.
Siempre en el tema de los mitos y leyendas, recuerdo que circulaba un mito entre la gente del lugar donde yo crecí, se trata de un mito popular sobre la manera de hacer que una visita haga más corta su estancia en la casa. Esto se hacía en casos de que la persona no era muy grata y querías evitarte tanto tiempo incomodo, entonces y según la gente tenía la creencia, era de colocar una escoba junto o detrás de la puerta. De preferencia se buscaba una puerta que no estaba a la vista para evitar que la persona vea la acción realizada.
Según recuerdo y no sé si fue casualidad o qué, pero como travesura lo hicimos un par de veces y si funcionaba. Como repito puede también ser efecto de la casualidad. Ya que como son mitos, obviamente no existe base probatoria confiable que lo demuestre.
Espero hayan sido del agrado de algunos estos ejemplos de mitos, descritos en la lineas anteriores. Estoy seguro que asi como en la cultura de mi pais, tambien en el resto de paises y sus diferentes culturas, van a saber que tenelos mucho en comun sobre este tema. Saludos amigos
Hello, good morning friends, as I have previously posted, there are several topics that despite not being an expert, I like to think that I am passionate about them. one of these is the theme of myths in our culture, I am sure it is a theme that is heard in many or all countries. In our culture, all myths are somehow passed down for generations but it is certain that many have already disappeared, because we do nothing to preserve them, it is the same as happens with dialects or languages. In my personal case, I was educated by my grandparents who were very governed by sayings to advise, they told us many legends and were affiliated with myths. And how to avoid the healing methods with plants and seeds, which were traditionally very effective. But this time I would like to share with you some of the myths that I remember and even motivated us at some point to prove their veracity. Although of course not all of us succeed.
I remember that when I was a child, my grandparents and parents told scary stories related to this tree, since according to myth this tree lent itself to mysteries due to its whimsical shape of the branches. According to popular myth, people who performed some kind of spell, looked for these trees to carry out the spells. The point is that after this in the tree or under the tree they began to hear, feel and see mysterious manifestations or phenomena. For that matter, my father told me that he was a witness on several occasions to some apparitions, since to reach our case in those days, we had to cross long paths and paths, jump over fences and streams. Well, in one of these remote and lonely roads, I had to pass under one of these, and also because that area was lonely, it lent itself to being used to do what I mentioned. Well my grandparents and my father assured that there you had to pass without looking up or the sides forward, we had to pass looking forward, otherwise you were exposed to see things that could affect. In fact, there was no shortage of the one who dared to disobey and ended up in the house of a healer, as he had been affected by what he saw. They say that they see people hanging, they saw monkeys that became humans or vice versa, among others. The secret to not being affected, was not to look anywhere that was not forward, there are other secrets to protect yourself from scares but I will leave it for an additional topic.
Always on the subject of myths and legends, I remember that a myth circulated among the people of the place where I grew up, it is a popular myth about how to make a visit shorten your stay in the house. This was done in cases where the person was not very pleasant and you wanted to avoid yourself for so long uncomfortable, then and according to people had the belief, it was to place a broom next to or behind the door. Preferably a door was sought that was not in sight to prevent the person from seeing the action taken. As I recall and I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, but as a prank we did it a couple of times and if it worked. As I repeat, it can also be the effect of chance. Since they are myths, obviously there is no reliable evidence base to prove it.
I hope that some of these examples of myths, described in the previous lines, have been to your liking. I am sure that as well as in the culture of my country, also in the rest of the countries and their different cultures, they will know that we have a lot in common in this matter. Greetings friends
