Popular culture has passed on to us many of the legends that were handed down from generation to generation and from grandparents to grandchildren on winter evenings around the kitchen hearths or in the living rooms of the old houses of the villages of the Pyrenees. These are human explanations for phenomena that had no other logical or reasonable explanation. It is within this context, and under these circumstances, that a whole series of fantastic beings appeared to whom supernatural powers were attributed, such as the ability to turn large mountains of rock to scree, prevent hailstorms, heal illnesses and predict certain future events. Thus, we find the likes of manairons, enchanted ones, giants, witches, demons and “pantigana” women.
