Today for the
AtoZ Challenge we are at the letter X. My
Under the Sea Myths & Legends theme found an interesting creature to discuss.
Xana is described as a fairy from Asturian mythology in north-west Spain. This fairy female has long blond locks and prefers to hang out near water fountains, streams, waterfalls etc... Some references depict the Xana as
bad while others say she can bring fortune and untold wealth to humans.
A Xana looks like a young beautiful female, but the being is more fae then human and has magical powers. A Xana's voice can be alluring to humans and it's said a pure soul can hear her melodic sound and feel love and peace. An evil person who hears the voice can go mad. Xanas can be kind or they can be evil. Some myths say they've attacked humans and stolen their children and food.
As far as water creatures go, this one seems to be a bit milder than the rest which is fine with me. I'm just glad I found a creature for the letter X. Right?
Yesterday, I posted about Tolkien's fictional character,
Watcher of the Water. If you get a chance, check out that one too!
See you next time for the letter Y & Z!
