Muladona

In Catalan mythology, a Muladona or Donamula is a female mule with a human woman's head. Legend has it that a young woman was cursed by the townspeople for being irreverent and irreligious, and the curse turned her into a mule.

According to legend, she wandered mountains, especially at night, joining mule trains. It was claimed that mules were frightened by her presence enough to stampede into ravines and die.

The Muladona looks like a mule, but it is a mixture of human and animal, its mane is like a woman's hair and its face, while still appearing to be like that of an animal, is obviously human.

It is always represented with the four legs of a mule, but sometimes the front two legs join a thorax, located where a mule would have its neck. In addition, the animal is always represented with breasts to underline that it is female.

The muleteers used to give their mules small Muladona-shaped pieces of bread to eat, in the belief that this would stop the animals being frightened and allow them to ignore her if she appeared. In addition, they would repeatedly count the number of mules in the mule train in order to discover if the Muladona had become mixed in with their animals without them realizing, allowing them to avoid paying the price for the havoc she could sow.

The Muladona is a mule-like creature found in Catalan mythology. The Muladona is described as a mule-like creature with the body of a mule and the head of a woman with her mane being human hair; she also is depicted with a pair of breasts as well. The Muladona was said to once have been a normal person who was irreverent and irreligious which made the townspeople angry so they cursed her which caused her to become the Muladona. Normal mules are said to be scared of the Muladona so farmers feed their mules bread in the shape of the Muladona in order to prevent them from being scared of her. If she does appear in a mule train and she scares the mules the mules will stampede and even in some cases run into ravines causing them to die.

Día 23 - "Muladona" (Mitología Catalana). Llegar a la Muladona me ha hecho llegar a un imaginario que repite patrones y símbolos en varias culturas del mundo, siendo a veces un icono cultural en fiestas tradicionales: la Siguanaba (Mitología Guatemalteca), Almamula o Mulánima(Mitología Argentina), La Mula sin Cabeza (Mitología Brasileña) o la Condená (Mitología Chilota). Todas sus historias obedecen un patrón: castigar a una mujer que, o bien, ha llevado una vida sexual libre o que ha desobedecido y ha decidido salirse de las reglas que les imponía la sociedad. Sus actos le convierten en un ser mitológico como castigo, que a su vez sigue incitando al pecado o que maldice a quien lo comete. Que su iconología este relacionada con el caballo es un misterio pero es curioso que se repita en varios países. A día 23 de octubre son ya 23 historias que he leído y puedo decir que la mitología al igual que otras partes de nuestra cultura, es bastante machista y al igual que puede ocurrir con los cuentos, sus historias retratan nuestros miedos, pero también aleccionan y advierten sobre como debemos comportarnos y ser moralmente hablando. En mi caso, ya que estoy reinterpretando la mitología, he decidido unir a estas mujeres para que en ese mundo mágico universal cabalguen juntas y que aquello por lo que fueron condenadas sea lo que de lugar a su poder. Porque todo se puede revisar, reinventar y crear de nuevo.
