When the sun sets on a Thursday a dramatic transformation occurs: a cursed woman will change into a mule with a neck that spurts out flames where the head should be This is a curse administered to a woman as a punishment for having a sexual relationship with a priest Becoming the Headless Mule seems to be considered worthy penance for such a lack of respect for the values of chastity. although it must be assumed that the unaltered man of God must have had no power to resist the situation.
The Headless Mule will gallop across the territories of seven parishes. hooves clattering thunderously and wailing like a horse that is on fire might well wail. until Friday sunrise when she returns to human form. A rather exhausting end to the week.
