As a result of that love, the woman gave birth to a son. However, people considered her a horrible mother because she left the little one alone at home to go for a walk. For that reason, the child only ate ash. It didn't take Tlaloc long to find out what the woman was doing, and her anger was so great that he cast a terrible curse on her. From that moment, you will no longer be known by your last name, but everyone will call you Sihuanaba (that is, horrible woman). Uttered the god of rain. Seen from a distance, the lady looked very beautiful. However, the moment a man approached her, her appearance changed drastically, turning into a horrifying monster. Her deity also forced her to walk along the empty country lanes and roads in search of late-night men, to scare them away and force them to return soon to her house.
There is a way to get rid of the Siguanaba, although it is complicated to carry out the plan without anything failing. What the victim who comes face to face with her must do is to get as close as possible and then fall to the ground, closing her eyes and stretching one of her arms until she can reach one of the creature's feet.
After this, the person should pull it as hard as possible to make her fall. While the evil spirit remains on the ground, the subject must "put his foot down."
