Monster Girl October Tarot day 21: La Llorona from poems, songs, and tales as the 5 of cups card!

The 5 of cups evokes sadness, loss, loneliness, and regret. La Llorona was the best fit for the card given her stories' focus on her being betrayed by her husband, killing their children, and regretting the act. She is said to haunt bodies of water, weeping for her children, and will steal others to drown as well.

La Llarona (Mexican Folklore): Bush or Bald?

She's way too hard on the sad girl shit to even think about making choices down there.

Verdict: bush

LA LLORONA FROM MEXICAN FOLKLORE

Justification: “(Using save as like. A more literal sense)

She was the most beautiful woman in her town, and because of this her husband married her. However, when another woman who was more beautiful than her came, he cheated on her and (iirc) left her and their children.

She then ended up putting on her wedding gown, and took her children out to the river and drowned them. I believe I also heard a version where she also killed her husband. Also iirc she killed herself in the river as well when she realized what she had done, crying and grieving.

I think she would’ve benefited from either her and the husband being aro.

Also I’m aro and Mexican so like.”.
