- Episode 3 of our original series "Northern Portuguese Myths & Legends"
“Peeira”, most commonly known as “Peeira dos Lobos” (The wolf fairy, in English), is a mystical and mythological being of the fairy tales of Portuguese folklore.
They are described as shapeshifters. Wild women whose only purpose in life is to protect and guide wolves and werewolves. There are many legends regarding the origin of Peeira.
In Portuguese folklore the seventh daughter is believed to be cursed and she becomes a peeira when summoned by the call of her predestined wolf. But the most popular legend describes Peeira as an elemental, a fairy that sometimes takes the form of a woman or a wolf.
Nice project, we need more of these. The whole world knows the greeks, the egyptians and the aztec to name a few. Give us something we haven't heard before👍👍👍
Adoro!! Já há muito tempo que esperava poder ouvir sobre as lendas do norte de Portugal 😊
These are so magical. I love these stories.
Bom trabalho. Obrigado
Old Times and Modern Times she's the style of magical spirit that satisfies me perfectly. I'd be considered one of your Mountain cousins in Spain's early history in the Stone Age periods. But I live in America. Peeira she's fits the way I visualize rescuing wolf packs due to my strong love for nature but she fits my special interest of ancient fairy types too. 💙😭😥🐺💞.
... Quand, je mourais... J aimerais être um loup et courir dans ces montagnes !
Ces montagnes que je connais très bien ! 🇵🇹🇫🇷
Muito bom precisa de mais views.
I'm not even portuguese (I'm brazilian) but Peeira sounded SO familiar, I think I might have heard it before somewhere else....
Vou acompanhar sempre, manda mais
witch: tries to make things less worse and raises Lua
Arthur: "IT'S HER FAULT!"
Poor Lua! Puberty can really be a bitch for everyone involved 😂.
But seriously wolves are actually beautiful animals that serve an important purpose in nature. These young men were hunting wolves in the first place so the wolves had the right to defend themselves. As for blaming someone else instead of themselves, what else is new? These legends always have an element of scapegoating and misogyny in them.
Granda bom! Se calhar, é a minha lenda favorita, embora eu goste de muitas outras.
Spooky story I love it.
obrigada pela partilha!
Fascinante relato.
