"El Cadejo" (the black dog of Guatemala)
This story from old grampa's tales and i have to translate lots of what he ones wrote on its dairy to English, "el cadejo" is a folklore creature that has been here since the age of the mayan, its the spirit of the deep forest that guards its treasures and the entry to shibalba, very similar to Cerberus of the Greek but with out the multiple heads, how ever back in the day it devour every person who dared enter the underworld with out having the permission of the lords of shibalba, it was mostly a dark jaguar that rounded the caverns.
Now a days in today folklore, has gain a very strange yet interesting transformation, at the days of the colony the cadejo has change its looks and shape from black jaguar to dark black dog but has not loose its size its till very big and usually now guards the wondering spirits of the drunken people, its nature varies, for it may at times help them get home or scare the living shit out of them to loosen them out on the wilderness to be eaten or fall on to a cliff, for he is a sbig as a jaguar and has its fangs and claws but the body head and muzzle of dog some say it has a mountain lion's tail and its eyes are red that trow sparks of hell fire into those who see into its eyes, if you survive its encounter you would have seen how you would die in the future and will be tormented by this image until it does happen, some say it depends on the weight of your hearts sins, if its to heavy he will see in you there is no salvation and further then just send you to damnation, but if you still can correct your ways he might help you get back home.
He wonders on empty dark streets of antigua, the modern district of the city (where i live) and the historical capital of the city and its growls are heard from a from miles away, some thing curious of many specter creatures in my country is that if it sounds to be far away it might mean its very close, but if it sounds very close it might be far away to ad more confusion and supernatural powers to it while hunting for you never know if its close or far. your best bet is to seek shelter at a house and throw a chickens feet threw a window to the out side to distract you from eating you, (its seems to be one of his favorite treats for you know he has been around when you find your chickens and live stalk dead with just its feet chopped off or ripped apart.
Normal dogs bark at him but do not dare to fight him he would not hurt them but he might make your own dog turn on you and bite you if you dare try and fight him when he has no business with you, how ever there is tales of a second cadejo the white cadejo it has the same looks at the black one but with white fur instead of black, they are rivals for the white one is the only one ho can stand up to him and his eyes are not sparkling wit hell fire but they are bright as light towers that can blind you, the white cadejo some say its the good cadejo he protects you from the black one and it was given to saint Francisco de Asís, by god itself after having a dialog with the black cadejo when trying to exorcist him from the city of Antigua (that fail btw) to protect him. for the black cadejo swore vengeance on him, but some say they are just playing around to see who wins the most souls.
Now that the sait is long gone the white cadejo protects those that might encounter the black one, but as usual the weight of your hearts sins will play a big role still in your salvation or not for his looks still are very frighten many run away when spot him also.
This is one of the tales my grandfather told me and i had told my son's and they will tell my grandchildren, El cadejo runs the streets of the city for one must be careful not to drink to much and has his heart clean with sin, but if you encounter him you can also run into not to deep waters for he does not enjoy the watter, when his paws touch the water it vapors and sounds like when a blacksmith pours hot red steel into it making it walk away, but the real reason why he does not go into the waters is for that is the territory of another specter the one called La ciguanaba,... but that will be for another time to tell...
