Sayona - Succubus Bluaz

Sayona is spoken of in Venezuelan legends, and it is said that she is the spirit of a woman who takes revenge on men who have romantic affairs with women other than their wives. The name of the demon Sayona could come from her garments, which resemble a long, white nightgown, but also from the word sayón from French (executioner).

Sayona

It is believed that if the victim (the man who encounters Sayona) has cigarettes with him, he can escape the spirit's punishment by offering her one, as the apparition asks them for a cigarette or to be carried on horseback. The spirit also goes by the name Llorona, and in other legends, it is said she carries a child in her arms and weeps. After a while, when her victim wants to see her face, he will see that she has nothing but a skull and terrifying teeth.

The Legend of Sayona

It is said that la Sayona was once a young woman who lived peacefully with her husband and their child (a boy). Back then, her name was Melissa, and she liked to eat cheese and bathe in the river. Melissa was the most beautiful woman in the area, and many men liked her. Among them was a man from their village who began to follow her to the river every time she went to bathe.

Melissa eventually saw him and asked him to leave her alone. His excuse was that he had actually come to warn Melissa that her husband was cheating on her with her mother. Melissa lost her mind with grief. She ran home and found her husband not with her mother, but sleeping with their child; however, blinded by jealousy, she set the house on fire. Her husband and their child died in terrible agony, and their screams were heard by all the villagers, but they could not be saved.

After this crime, Melissa fled to her mother's house and stabbed her in the stomach. Before she died, her mother cursed her, telling her that from now on she would have to avenge all women betrayed by men by killing their husbands. Since then, Melissa became Sayona.

Sayona

In another version of the legend, Sayona appears to men working in the jungle who are thinking of other women, or who talk to their coworkers about their desire to sleep with other women. In this case, Sayona appears as a seductive woman, luring them into the jungle. The men are enticed and disappear, only to be found later devoured or torn apart. Sayona can transform into a beast and will eat her victims.

In the mountainous regions of Venezuela, it is said that Sayona sleeps with the men, her victims, and only then kills them or mangles their genitals so that they can never have sex again. And if she does not do this, Sayona transmits various venereal diseases to the men, and when the wife finally notices the sores and irritations on her husband's penis, she knows the 'message' comes from Sayona and that her husband was unfaithful.
