PINCOYA

Goddess of extraordinary beauty who personifies the personality of the seas and the beaches. On this beautiful young woman there depends the abundance or shortage of seafood and of the fish in the channels.

Sale de la profundidad del mar semi-vestida con un traje de algas a danzar en las playas o sobre las olas. Sus brazos y piernas son como los de una persona. Cuando realiza su baile mirando hacia alta mar significa que en esa playa y mares abundarán los peces y mariscos. En cambio, si lo hace con el rostro vuelto hacia la playa, indica que los peces y mariscos escasearán.

When the shortage extends in long time, for the absence of the Pincoya, it is possible to make it return by means of a magic ceremony where wizards intervene or machis. Only across his(her,your) power it(he,she) will be able to take pleasure to the Pincoya in order that it(he,she) grants again the abundance of seafood and fish(pitches) to the fishermen.

The Pincoya is so most beautiful, sensual and attractive that up to the fish they remain with the opened mouth. When the islanders sink, the Pincoya comes to his(her,your) aid.

Sometimes some fishermen see her between(among) the roqueríos brushing his(her,your) long reddish or fair hair. His(her,your) accompanist like brother or husband, is the Pincoy.
