WHERE IS “O AIRE” GOT?

Just for you to remember, the literally translation of “o aire” is “the air”, but it can be understood sometimes as “the spirit”. When it is said that someone has “o aire“, it can be referred to a sickness from different origins. “O aire” can come from females in rutting season, from woman that has given birth recently or with menstruation, from dead animals or from a deceased. We extend a little more for each of these origins of ar das meigas (witches’ air) or mal cativo (small evil), as it is also known.

“O aire” of female animals in rutting season

This type of “o aire” is mainly taken by children and the sick when they are close to the females of any animal when during the mating period. It may be, for example, during the January of the cats.

“O aire” of woman just giving birth or menstruating

“O aire” would affect people with some condition and young boys when they are near a woman who is in the menstrual period or during the puerperium, which is the period that body needs to recover from pregnancy. Postpartum is also included in the puerperium period.

“O aire” of a dead animal

“O aire” of animals can be got by being close to the dead body of an animal.

“O aire” of deceased

“O aire” of the deceased is the most dangerous of all. When a person goes to a funeral or a vigil of a deceased, this person can come with “o aire” of the dead. As if it were a virus, it is possible that “o aire” does not affect it directly but it can be a vector for someone else. It is mainly transmitted to any child, or sick person. It could even be the case that the child himself, or an older patient, had gone to the house of the deceased (funeral or vigil), and passed it in that environment.

It is also thought that the aire of the dead may be a revenge of the dead person or the fear of the dead to face the way to the other world.
