Trasmoz - A cursed town's silent sentinel.
FFFRIDAYYYYYYYY
Alright I tried to find a Fun Fact about Henry Cavill but I couldn't find the correct interview clip to prove that I'm right, so that's going to the backburner.
Instead Today You Learned: there's an entire town in Spain that was excommunicated in the Middle Ages, and that excommunication has never been lifted.
There's also the story that they had a butt-ton of silver from a local mine, and because this village was beyond Church jurisdiction (what? that doesn't make sense) that they didn't pay, or they refused to pay, or, I don't know, something.d
So there are slightly conflicting accounts as to why this place got excommunicated, but the articles tend to go with: in the castle there was a counterfeiting operation, and to try to avoid revealing what was really going on down there the owners of the castle spread rumors that it was witches. Sort of a medieval Scooby-Doo plot, you know?
There's also the story that they had a butt-ton of silver from a local mine, and because this village was beyond Church jurisdiction (wait, what? that doesn't make any sense) that they didn't pay, or they refused to pay, or, I don't know, something. I'm just telling you what I heard, okay?
Adding to that, there was a conflict with a local monastery, in which the town and its lord took up arms against it, which of course did not sit well with Church authorities. The town was excommunicated, and according to the story, the Archbishop of Zaragoza wrote to Rome and Pope Julius II and got authority to curse the town. And if you believe the bajillion articles on the subject (which, I should remind you, mainstream media is not generally great at deep theology but it's interesting if true), because the curse was set on papal authority, only the Pope has the authority to revoke it.
Which he never has.
It remains a small town to this day, with a population less than 100 (possibly with the expulsion of the Jewish and Muslim inhabitants at the end of the Reconquista, the town was severely reduced). There is a church there; I don't know how they deal with it, exactly. There's also a witchcraft museum in the castle ruins, as they worked out the town's association with witches was a way to make their town famous and they stuck with it.
There's also an episode of Ministerio del Tiempo about it? In which, because of hallucinogenic water the town actually is home to a Satanic witch cult? I dunno, that episode gave me the willies.
So now you know.
El Moncayo - Entre monjes y brujas
La leyenda de brujas en el Moncayo está íntimamente relacionada con el pueblo de Trasmoz, en la comarca de Tarazona y el Moncayo (Zaragoza). Trasmoz es famoso por su historia de brujería, maldiciones y su singular condición de único pueblo oficialmente excomulgado y maldito en España.
Las leyendas cuentan que el Castillo de Trasmoz era el lugar elegido por brujas para celebrar aquelarres, volar en escobas y practicar rituales mágicos. Entre los nombres más conocidos destaca la “Tía Casca”, mujer que vivió en Trasmoz en el siglo XIX y fue acusada de brujería, males de ojo y otros males sobrenaturales. Según la tradición, la Tía Casca era capaz de volar, envenenar aguas, recitar oraciones al revés y atacar a los niños; finalmente fue linchada y arrojada a un barranco en 1850 por los vecinos, pero su leyenda señala que su espíritu quedó vagando por la zona, aterrorizando a los pastores y viajeros.
Trasmoz ganó su fama de pueblo de brujas desde la Edad Media, sospechándose que los rumores surgieron para encubrir otras actividades, como la falsificación de moneda en el castillo. Estos rumores, sumados a conflictos con el monasterio vecino de Veruela, llevaron a una excomunión en el siglo XIII, que más adelante se transformó en una maldición formal en el siglo XVI. Trasmoz sigue siendo recordado por estos hechos y por las historias de prácticas de brujería, rituales paganos y celebraciones de aquelarres en las laderas del Moncayo.
El escritor Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer se sintió fascinado por estas leyendas y por la atmósfera sobrenatural de la región, plasmando en sus obras relatos inspirados en “Las brujas de Trasmoz” y el entorno mágico del Moncayo, contribuyendo a eternizar estas historias en la tradición popular.
Hoy, Trasmoz celebra cada año la Feria de Brujería, Magia y Plantas Medicinales del Moncayo, manteniendo vivas las leyendas y la memoria de sus “terribles brujas”.
