| Description | We are going to learn about a woman who was from Santa Cruz del Quiché, who became a wolf. After many days she taught herself about the practice of black magic. There came a day when they saw her leave her home. If she came upon flat land, she got down and began to roll around in the dirt, then she stood up and was already a wolf. That's when they learned about her ways, because sometimes the sheep appeared dead and they were her prey. |
