There are many stories and legends that revolve around one of the most famous spiritual figures in Latin America: he animates alone .Many attribute miracles to him, others claim that it is a malefic entity.But, What is the origin of this legend?

Wandering soul or great sorceress?

There are two stories that predominate in popular culture over the Origin of the anima alone, both are completely different and the approach given to this entity goes from good and miraculous, to evil.

1.Wandering soul

Throughout the years it has been believed that the real name of anima alone is Celestina Abdegano , a woman who lived in the time of Jesus and belonged to the pious women of Jerusalem, whose task lay to assist the damned in their last moments of life.

The origin of the anima alone: ​​Wandering soul or great sorceress?

On Holy Friday , hours before Jesus died on the cross, Celestina went up to Calvary with a full cantaro of fresh water to give the three crucified men a drink .and how he gave the precious liquid to Dimas and Gestas .However, for fear of the reaction of the soldiers and priests present, Celestina decided not to give Jesus water/strong>.

It is for this reason that Celestina was condemned to wander alone in the world , despite not being considered a saint by the Catholic Church, many believers claim that this woman is capable of procuring great miracles.

Just as many claim that anima alone is a conjured spirit to do good, there are also those who claim that it is a diabolical entity that is invoked to harm other people.

2.Great sorceress

According to this legend, the anima alone is not Celestina Abdegano, it is actually a woman who in life was a powerful sorceress who used her powers to do evil.After her death she became a very powerful spiritual entity that cas I am always looking to do jobs and spells that involve damage against another human being.

The origin of the anima alone: ​​Wandering soul or great sorceress?

This entity has under its command a series of evil spirits or of low light , that is why when someone invokes the anima alone it is not necessarily she who is going to be present, but on the contrary, it can be any of the souls she has under her domain.

For their part, these low-light spirits are capable of fulfilling what the person requests without caring about anything else.For example, if someone asks the cheerleader to only get a certain job and it is fulfilled, it would be worth it worth asking: What was the price? On many occasions it is because the person who previously held the position retired due to illness or had an accident, hence the famous popular saying regarding the anima alone: ​​

"Be careful what you ask for, you can be granted"

Anima alone is one of the most famous spiritual entities in Latin America , today stories and legends continue to be woven around this famous figure, beyond whether it is a good or bad entity, the truth is that it is part of Latin American culture and folklore. Do you believe in the anima alone?
