La Kuyankuat, the Pig Snake of Izalco 🐗🐍 Said to live in the forests of Sonsonate, the Kuyankuat fascinates me. Not as some terrifying creature but as a protective river spirit. We tell these stories, framing the spirits of the forest as monsters to be feared. The Kuyankuat is neither good nor evil. Just as a river gives, it can also take – so too does the Kuyankuat. He brings the rains and protects the rivers. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #cuyancua #sonsonate #izalco #ElSalvador #legends #mythology #nahua #nawat #nahuat #spookyseason #spookyszn #spooky #halloween #scarystories #salvi #sivar #queerlatinx #queerlatino #queerartist #queerart #gaylatino #gayart #gayartist
