Waiting for the swamps of the Melansian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, the cannibalistic demon Abere lures men to their death, poses as a seductive woman.
On dispersed islands and lush, damp marshes of melanesia, archaic legends talk about creatures of both lovely and unspeakable cruel. Among the most disturbing is the story of Abere, captivating demonization, who lives in swamps and wetlands, feeding on stupid and loving.
For those who do not know her legend, she appears as a wild and stunning woman, but for older melansia is a meat eating a monster older than memory – a cunning predator who devours these beauty seduced with her.
Charm
It is said that Abere is deep in swamps and stagnation of waterways, in places where the reeds grow high and the fog clung to the surface of the water. It is said that Reed Mimia is growing around her to hide her from the victims.
Melanesia is a region in Oceania, a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, west of New Guinea to the Islands of Fiji, as well as Vanuatu and Salomon. Although Melanesians are a group of people with different cultures, mythologies and languages, they have a long history of cultural exchanges.
She is not alone, because countless stories describe her surrounded by a group of juvenile, lovely accompanying women – women who themselves can be victims who have returned slaves or ghosts related to the service of Abere.
Those who wander too close to her domain are often inexplicably attracted to the unearthly beauty of these characters, unaware of the deadly danger waiting for them.
Reeds grow and twist unnaturally, grow quickly around the victim, until they are imprisoned, in a lively prison with swamp grass. The more they fight, the more reeds themselves. When the unfortunate soul is bound and helpless, Abere reveals its monstrous nature – shedding the illusion of beauty and devouring her captivity.
Ancient wagne warning
Like many demonic characters in regional folklore, Abere serves both as supernatural terror and the form of caution. What's she really? A vampire, especially a cruel species of mermaid? Something demonic? In isolated, wetlands of melanesia, in which survival depended on acute instincts and respect for nature threats, Abere embodies the unseen dangers associated with embarrassing too far into the unknown.
Regardless of whether it is interpreted as a metaphor for the treacherous swamps themselves, or caution against reckless desire, its legend continues, whispered by the elders to warn children from wandering alone and reminding them that you should not trust everyone beautifully.
Although Abere may not be so widely known outside of melanesia, it remains a robust figure in the island folklore. Her story survived in oral traditions and regional myths, a frozen terrifying reminder of shaping, hungry ghosts that populate forgotten places in the world.
In the state-of-the-art era of stories about meetings with ghostly women along the misty waterways, they still appear from time to time. And for those who walk melanesia swamps under the wrapper of the night – there is always a chance that rustling in reeds is not a wind, but Abere is waiting.
