La Sayona
La Sayona es un espectro perteneciente
a la literatura oral del folklore venezolano, basado en una leyenda que cuenta la aparición de una
mujer elegante y alta que castiga a los hombres infieles. Es originaria de la
región venezolana de los llanos.
Aparece en múltiples antologías de cuentos en Venezuela. Es extendido su uso para asustar a
los niños y a los supersticiosos, y ha sido incluida aún en algunos libros de
texto para primaria.Incluso la Sayona, ha tenido canciones como “alma
llanera” o “canción narrativa”. Donde es una canción de leyendas llaneras de
Venezuela. También es confundida con la llorona, que es un espíritu con muchas
similitudes.
Historia:
La leyenda original de La Sayona narra básicamente
la historia de una mujer muy celosa llamada Casilda, que mató a su esposo y a
su madre, pensando que estos tenían un romance. Su madre, en la agonía de la
muerte, la maldijo. Desde ese entonces su alma en pena vaga sin descanso ni
paz, persiguiendo a los hombres infieles para conquistarlos y luego matarlos. El
origen del nombre se debe a que porta un sayal negro, ya que la leyenda data
desde la época colonial.
Existen miles de versiones de encuentros con La
Sayona, que son los que ha popularizado a este mítico personaje. También se
dice que La Sayona tiene la particularidad de “Desdoblarse” Esto quiere decir
que puede presentarse como un perro, un lobo o como la mujer antes descrita.
Pero todas las versiones concuerdan en que es una
hermosa mujer de largos cabellos negros (Aunque no mantiene esta apariencia, ya
que una vez acorralada muestra su verdadera forma a la víctima) Que persigue a
los hombres mujeriegos. Siempre se suele terminar esta narración con
advertencias como: "Por lo tanto, es mejor que aquellos hombres que
disfrutan engañando a su pareja, se lo piensen bien antes que se le aparezca La
Sayona".
La leyenda también cuenta que La Sayona siempre
viste de blanco y que su particular grito puede ser oído en la distancia y que
además eriza los pelos de quienes lo oyen. Este último rasgo de La Sayona la asemeja
aún más a las banshees.
