Anjana (Cantabrian mythology)

Their eyes are slanted, serene and loving, with black or blue pupils as bright as the stars, and they feature nearly transparent wings.

They wear long, jet black or golden braids, adorned with multicolored silk bows and ribbons; a beautiful crown of wild flowers on their head; and a blue cape on a long thin white tunic, and carry in their hands a stick of wicker or hawthorn which shines in a different color every day of the week.

They help injured animals and trees damaged by storms or Ojáncanu, lovers, people who lose their way in the forest, and the poor and suffering.

Traditions state that at night during the spring equinox, they gather in the fells and dance until dawn holding hands and scattering roses.

Anyone who manages to find a rose with purple, green, blue, or golden petals will be happy until the time of their death.
