Bienvenidos a otro emocionante episodio de nuestro podcast, donde exploramos las fascinantes historias y leyendas que han perdurado a lo largo del tiempo. En esta ocasión, nos adentramos en las verdes colinas y los ríos serpenteantes de Galicia para descubrir la leyenda de la Meiga Chuchona.

En la aldea de San Xián de Sergude, una tragedia envolvió a sus habitantes cuando un matrimonio se enfrentó a la terrible pérdida de todos sus hijos poco después de nacer. Los rumores de hechicería y la sospecha de la presencia de una meiga chuchona, una bruja que se alimenta de la sangre de los bebés, se extendieron entre la gente del pueblo.

En Galicia, una Meiga es conocida como una bruja o hechicera que busca hacer el mal a personas y animales, a veces estableciendo pactos con el diablo. La búsqueda desesperada de ayuda llevó al matrimonio a consultar a personas sabias en magia, incluida la anciana madre de la mujer, quien reveló una solución para proteger a su última hija de la influencia de la chuchona.

Únete a nosotros en este viaje fascinante a través de la historia y la mitología gallegas mientras exploramos la cautivadora leyenda de la Meiga Chuchona. ¿Quién dijo que las meigas no existen? ¡Descubre la verdad en nuestro último episodio!
