Aatxe
March 23rd, 2009
To the Basque people, Aatxe is an evil spirit in folk mythology that takes the form of a bull. He is a cave-dwelling spirit, shape-shifter, adopting the form of a young red bull, but sometimes takes the shape of a man. He arises from his lair at night, more so in stormy weather. He attacks criminals and different types of bad people and protects good people by making them stay home when danger is near.
Another name for him is Aatxegori, which can be translated to “young red bull”.
since this spirit kill criminal and protect the good people, why do they classify him as a evil spirit
mabey it is because the creature is red?
It is because he is killing people, that automatically classify spirit as “an evil”
