Kaguen…

He told him that a miller had told him “Mekaguen the Lady of Anboto” and that Señorá had put a mill on him, until the man, well advised by a cure, turned to fermentation to ask for forgiveness. And that Miss had put the mill back in motion, with a magnificence of the true great.

A priest, Bidarrai, went to the Saint of Harpe on the mountain, and when he saw the one there, he said: “This is nothing, this is a shit Saindia!” As he entered his house, a terrible blow escaped. The testimony of the truth of that saint added the narrator, laughing. Logical: If a missionary broke the images of the gods before the pagans and was not destroyed there, it was known that they were false idols.

In the time when Jesus Christ went through the world, he passed in Bithirina, it is said, by the way of Azpin. He found a man, with his chariot lying and praying to the side; Jesus Christ departed earlier, ignoring. Then he picked up another one, who was making efforts not to lift his car, and he helped him. What was praying did not help at all, the narrator said, because what is not being tested does not help God – and no matter blasphemy... Those who heard this story also laughed.

The oath was a crime under Franco, and the landlords in the area of Tudela were fans of the sacres, if they existed. One of them thrust the carriage with fury and set to ride. Let the sheriffs listen, be fined 25 pesetas and go through the village house to pay. The cabin comes to the window and takes a ticket of 100 pesetas. The official who has no details to go back and return to the next day with 25 pesetas. The other replied: “Kaguendios, kaguendios and kaguendios: what is cobra!”

In our knowledge, word oaths have been used, cool and joyful often. And there is often complicity between the blasphemous and the blasphemer, as if the recognition of one was the second, because blasphemy is intrinsic to religion. Do things change now and, for peace, blasphemies are being punished again? Who should be punished? All or only those with armed defenders? And in return, send the devil to Anboto, Wakan-Tanka, Xangó and the whole company, even though their followers are many and sensitive.

Araiz, the issue will no longer come back to the present. But fear has already done its bad work and we are in self-censorship. Unless the law does not guarantee it.
