What is una lechusa?

To my knowledge, "una lechusa" is "a curandera/o (spanish name for faith healer or witch doctor) that has transformed themself in to a great horned owl in which to be able to fly distances and keep watch on those whom a spell has been been cast, most likely a spell to do harm. However some people of Mexican or maybe even spaniard heritage believe that it can foretell danger or evil. A curandera/o can do white magic or black magic. Whether the lechusa is based on reality or myth is not really known. A person will go to this curandera/o to have a harmful spell put on someone, the curandera/o will do the magic spell, and past every nite past midnight, the "lechusa" is the curandera/o in great horned owl form keeping watch over the person whom the harmful spell has been cast, most likely until that person succumbs and dies. The lechusa is quite noticeably different in size to a regular great horned owl; it can be about 3ft. to 4ft. in height, and have a large wingspan, and does a creepy hoot-hoot. It is also said never to look the lechusa in the eye, as death will follow shortly. Whether it be myth or reality, one way to probably remove the evil spell would be to shoot and kill the lechusa if its within distance. Once done, when a person has died during that night, then this person is said to be the lechusa. Another way to remove the spell might be to go to a different curandera/o, one who does only white magic, to reverse the spell onto the curandera/o who did the black magic. It is said that if someone does a spell to knowingly do harm to someone, it will come unto them 3-fold. As far as removing the spell anyother way, I'm not sure. Hope this helps.

What do you think the Spanish learned from Native Americans?

Many infectious diseases such a small-pox that the natives or their ancestors had never encountered and therefore had no immunity to. Along with disease, they brought their culture such as a racial caste system that placed he natives as slaves, the hybrids as middle-class citizens, and the pure Spaniards as nobles. AND the Catholic faith which they forced the natives to sign (the natives had no idea what they were signing). If the natives didn't they would be killed. That's a rough outline.
