MAYAN PIXY (ALUXES)
In the Yucatan are frequent various legends about strange beings that appear at night in the cornfields and hills, it's little guys called Aluxes, taking attitudes according to the treatment they receive, because if a person goes into your territory and utter obscenities or insults to them or the site, they will send through wind disease, known in the Maya peoples as "bad air", fevers and delirium usually; but if they are treated in a friendly manner and are even offering food in return they take care of the fields, and to endow good harvest.
His appearance is like children, dress sandals and hat and even have a dog and live inside the caves near the cornfields or in the bush, they are not bad, just that to be like children are also very naughty, like play and run all over the place.
It is said that these beings are descendants of the Dwarf of Uxmal, because like him were created of clay, from old Mayan priests, who collected mud from pristine caves where ever walked a woman, it was put to rest for 9 nights and then mingled with a potion made of honey and wildflowers, then, place for another 9 nights on an altar with pull making sure that the sun does not reach them. After the specified time has had to spread through the mountains between songs and prayers to fulfill its mission, take care of the harvest.
Today it is said that these little beings leave their caves after sunset and return to their dens before the sun rises again, her dogs are also made of the same materials as them.
Another of the stories surrounding these pixies refers to the peasants who live with them, if you want your crops are guarded by an Alux you must place a house for him, but after 7 years the door must be sealed or otherwise , it begins to act against someone who has adopted him and all who are in its path.
There are many stories of people who claim to have had encounters with Aluxes, some experiences are good, others less so, all depends on the treatment given.
If ever someone gets a "bad air" some Alux must resort to an expert H'men, otherwise, if the soul who tries to cure weak risk of being affected by the same disease.
