Myths and legends of Colombia, the Mohan

If you are going to travel in Colombia it would be good if you know some myths and legends of the country, maybe on your way discover why ....lets start with the MOHAN
Before, long before moving to live in his underground palace, the Mohán was a sorcerer who summoned storms and eclipses. He knew the secrets of souls, healed illnesses, and everyone feared his jet-black eyes when he attracted rain and crops or became a jaguar.
He knew, on a night of storms and floods, the arrival of the Spaniards. He also saw the humiliation and the spoils of the Conquest. So he went away with all the treasures into the bowels of the rivers.
There he remains, while his hair and nails grow, and his eyes roll over the night.
Keep practicing the music. That's why he plays the guitar on full moon nights.
Some peasants have seen him terrified descending by raft, while rehearsing unknown songs.
Mohán can change his appearance and take advantage of the breezes of the rivers for the music and wander through the markets of the towns buying tobacco and aguardiente and conquering the girls.
Witch of the water, exerts a ferocious force on the rivers. He controls the crescents and complicates the catches of the fishermen. Sometimes his zeal becomes perverse: he turns the canoes and submerges the victims at the bottom of the waters. The old fishermen know all this, that's why they fear him, that's why they carry tobacco in their backpacks and are watching for any signs of indignation from the waves. They know that their fate depends on the Mohán #antonioexplorercolombia#
