Moura - Succubus Bluaz

The Charming Moura (moura encantada) is a supernatural being that appears in Galician and Portuguese stories. Moura usually appears humming songs and combing her hair with a golden comb. Her hair is described as being long, yellow as gold, or black as the color of night. In Galicia, the demon's hair is more likely to be red.

Moura

Mouras are the enchanted souls of maidens who were tasked by the Moors to guard treasures hidden by them before they headed toward Mourama. Legends describe them as being of overwhelming beauty, similar to dangerously seductive princesses. In some legends, it is said that they can change their shape. These charming demons can be found performing their guard duty at bridgeheads, castles, caves, springs, rivers, or anywhere the Moors might have hidden their riches.

Mourama is the second world, a world of the dead and the supernatural, a fairytale world found beneath the earth.

The legends of the Moura have ancient origins, dating back to before the Roman Empire period. Although most legends disappeared with the arrival and spread of Christianity, almost every small town in Portugal and Galicia has a story about a Moura.
The origin of the name of this spirit has not been established with certainty, as several variations exist. Moura could come from mortuu (Latin) or morto (Portuguese), which means dead, or from mahra (Celtic), which means spirit. However, mouro is also synonymous with Muslim.
A few variations of this succubus:

Moura

• Princess Moura: is described as having the body of a snake and long blonde hair. In some legends (mostly Portuguese), the beautiful Muslim princess falls in love with a Christian prince; in others, the Muslim princess has her castle underground and her lover is a Moor. The legend of Princess Moura often tries to explain the creation of a city or a fortress or the birth of historical figures.
• Moura-fiandeira: is described as carrying stones on her head and is considered to be the founder of megaliths and dolmens, constructions dating back to the Paleolithic. It is believed they still dwell around these historical monuments. Furthermore, coins have been found in some of these fortresses that bear the name Moura medals.
• Pedra-Moura: or Stone Moura has her dwelling in stones, and it is said that if someone sits on one of the Moura's stones, they will bring a curse into the house they enter, and all the animals in that house will die. Sometimes this Moura is described as sitting herself on a stone that can float on water. The treasure she guards is found under the stone or within her stone.
• Moura-serpente: usually appears in the form of a snake, or half snake, half woman, and it is said she likes to be offered milk. However, the Moura Snake can also appear as another animal, such as a dog, goat, or horse, being capable of transforming into almost anything she desires.
• Moura-Mãe: or Mother Moura is the appearance of a beautiful young pregnant woman in search of a midwife or anyone willing to help her give birth. She promises riches to the one who will help her deliver.
• Moura-Velha: less popular, the legends about the Old Moura are no longer as widespread, and most are slowly disappearing.
• Moura-lavadeira: the Washerwoman Moura can be seen at the water's edge, putting out freshly washed laundry to dry. Her laundry is white in color.

It is also said that Moura sometimes appears as a nun dressed in white.

The riches of the Moura can be obtained if someone offers her help as a reward, or they can be stolen from her or found, assuming the Moura is not around. St. John the Baptist's Day is the day when the Moura is believed to appear most often, along with her treasure, and it is possible to break her spell.

To break the Moura's spell, she may ask to be kissed, to be offered bread or milk, or she may ask the one who wishes to break the curse to perform a certain task, such as reciting a magic word that will set her free.
