Moura Encantada : ウィキペディア英語版
Enchanted Moura
The moura encantada is a supernatural being from the fairy tales of Portuguese and Galician〔''Diccionario dos seres míticos galegos''. X.R. Cuba, A. Reigosa, X.Miranda ISBN 84-8302-363-6〕 folklore. She often appears singing and combing her beautiful long hair, golden as gold or black as the night with a golden comb, and promises to give treasures to whom sets her free by breaking her spell. (In Galicia, though, they are more commonly redheads.)
According to José Leite de Vasconcelos, ''mouras encantadas'' are “''beings compelled by an occult power to live on a certain state of siege as if they were numb or asleep, insofar as a particular circumstance does not break their spell''”.〔Vasconcelos, José Leite. (1938). ''Opusculos'' (Ed), Volume V, Etnologia (Parte I), Lisboa Imprensa Nacional, p. 496 ()〕 According to ancient lore, they are the souls of young maidens who were left guarding the treasures that the ''mouros encantados'' (enchanted mouros) hid before heading to the Mourama.
The legends describe the mouras encantadas as young maidens of great beauty or as charming princesses who are "dangerously seductive".〔(Filipa. (10 April 2006), ''Que mouros são esses?'', in PJ, Diário de Trás-os-Montes )〕〔Parafita, Alexandre. A Mitologia dos Mouros, Porto, Gailivro, 2006.〕
The ''mouras encantadas'' are shapeshifters and there are a number of legends, and versions of the same legend, as a result of centuries of oral tradition. They appear as guardians of the pathways into the earth and of the "limit" frontiers where it was believed that the supernatural could manifest itself.''Mouras encantadas'' are magical maidens who guard castles, caves, bridges, wells, rivers, and treasures.
José Leite de Vasconcelos considered as a possibility that the ''mouras encantadas'' may have had assimilated the characteristics of local deities, such as nymphs and spirits of nature. Consiglieri Pedroso also referred to the mouras encantadas as "feminine water genies".〔(''Medicina na Beira interior da Pré-História ao século XX'',nº13 1999, Cadernos de cultura, Ediraia )〕 The tales of the mouras are part of a wider lore of the "mouros encantados", who some times appear as giants or warriors, which also include the ''mourinhos'' or ''maruxinhos'', a very small elf like people who live under the ground.〔(“O Tesouro dos Maruxinhos” lançado na Biblioteca Municipal de Chaves )〕〔(Portugal, mundo dos mortos e das mouras encantadas, vol. I, Lisboa, Apenas Livros, 2009 )〕〔(Autores da Região “O Tesouro dos Maruxinhos” )〕
== Origins ==

The fairy tales featuring Mouras Encantadas are thought to be of pre-Roman, Indo-European Celtic origin. They are related to other Indo-European, and especially Celtic, female divinities of the water. Almost every Portuguese or Galician town has a tale of a ''Moura Encantada''.〔(Brandão, Abílio. "Lendas de Mouras encantadas" ), in ''Revista Lusitana'', Volume XIV Lisboa: Livraria Clássica Editora, 1911〕 The lore of the mouros encantados is used to find prehistoric monuments and was for some time used in the 19th century as the main method to locate lusitanian archaeological «monuments», as Martins Sarmento viewed these as a kind of folk memory that was erased with the Christianization.〔(ETNOGRAFIAS PORTUGUESAS (1870-1970):Cultura Popular e Identidade Nacional )〕〔(LUGAR E MEMORIA )〕
Like the Mairu of Basque mythology built dolmens or harrespil, the mouras are builders of ancient monuments.
