Summoning La Cegua

There are some things you should know before you learn how to summon La Cegua. She's a Central American figure, for one; the many iterations of her story are told most commonly in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, although she may also be encountered under other names in countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

As for what that story is, though? Well, it can vary. In some versions, she's simply a monster disguised as a beautiful woman who lures and then destroys lecherous men who offer her a ride home on their horses with less-than-pure intentions in mind — sort of a riff on the old Vanishing Hitchhiker legend, albeit with a much more gruesome conclusion. In others, she's a woman scorned — a beautiful girl who was seduced by a roguish soldier and then not only cast aside, but also betrayed: The soldier is said to have revealed her participation in witchcraft, resulting in her either escaping and becoming a monster, or in being arrested, tortured, and killed before becoming a monster. She's usually described as being dressed in leaves, her clothing having rotted away, with her long, dark hair covering her face and a mask covering her lower face. The mask, it's said, hides the teeth she lost when the soldiers who arrested her beat her.

But while her stories typically center around unwitting victims encountering her in the wild, according to Redditor u/masayan8639 and a few other sources, she can actually be summoned, too. If you're successful, she'll grant you three magic objects — but these aren't objects for protection. Oh, no. This isn't a ritual you undertake unless you've got wicked ideas in mind.

...As always, play at your own risk.
