Lamia's, snakes, and magic

-Para Alaitz, Josune, Miren, Iker, Inazio, Jabi, Jon y Wim-

Urkiola es un lugar mágico, se respira en el ambiente. Pero sin buena compañia todo se reduce a la nada...

 

Por las noches salen las Lamias, las bellas hijas de la diosa Mari que moran en los ríos y las fuentes. Tienen cuerpo de de serpiente y sus pies en realidad son patas. Las Lamias tienen puntos en común con las sirenas, náyades, y ondinas. Poseen una gran belleza, son nobles y tienen un gran poder. Viven en las riberas de los ríos, donde se suelen sumergir cuando detectan presencia humana. Por el día se ocultan, pues el sol anula sus poderes. Y por las noches salen a lavar la ropa al río, a hilar con la rueca, y peinarse su larga cabellera con un peine de oro.

The Lamia, Genesis

The scent grows richer, he knows he must be near,

He finds a long passageway lit by chandelier.

Each step he takes, the perfumes change.

A magnificent chamber meets his eye.

 

Inside, a long-rose waterpool is schrouded by fine mist.

Stepping in the moist silence, with a warm breeze he's gently kissed.

 

Thinking he is quite alone;

He enters the room, as if it were is own,

But ripples on the sweet pink water

Reveal some company unthought of-

 

Rael stands a stonished doubthing his sight,

Struck by beauty, gripped in fright.

Three vermilion snakes of female face,

The smallest motion, filled with grace.

Muted melodies fill the echoing hall,

But there is no sign of warning in the siren's call:

"Rael welcome, we are the lamia of the pool.

We have been waiting for our waters to bring you cool"

 

Putting fear beside him, he trusts in beauty blind,

He slips into the nectar, leaving his schredded clothes behind.

 

Genesis, "The Lamia"
