  Story Halfway the eighteenth century waves of violence flushed over our Brabantse Kempen and the flatlands of Limburg. Groups of respectless thieves rambled through our peaceful lands, plundering and setting fires along their paths. Same as in the time this story was written, these people were named the Goatriders, who, according a mid-century myth, seated on goats wandered through the nightly skies, and could even enter locked homes. Hugo van den Loonsche Duynen, member of the Goatriders, a man with no sympathy and possessed by an unbridled greed for money tells his story. On a cursed night, as Hugo refers to it, they were in the Belgian Kemps. The night was closing in, the sun low, but villages, houses or anything similar to a bed was nowhere to be seen. Soon after that, a big building came in sight, the abbey of Postel. When they arrived at the chapel, it had already gone dark. Despite the light coming from the windows, it was silent in the abbey. Inside the chapel was a rich collection of chalices and silver candlesticks, a reason for Hugo and his helpers to smash the door. Once inside, the candles were lit, and there was no singing of monks or Roman preaching, so they robbed the abbey of Postel. Suddenly Hugo feels a slim hand resting on his shoulder, and behind him stands a young woman. Everybody looked at her in shock, she seemed to be floating in her long white dress. But as they were without fear and nothing or no one could scare them. The lady spoke: You, Hugo van den Loonsche Duynen, you desecrate this house, so repent yourself, and don’t call the Lord’s fury upon yourself. However she did not impress the men, and they laughed at her, Hugo ordered his men to go, as she disappeared in nothing. A day after Hugo reached his house and he was shocked: on top of his house stood the lady from the chapel, her arms waving upon the wind, her voice whispered though Hugo’s head: "No where in your own home, or anywhere else in this world, shall you find peace and rest, now that you violated the house of God… Only when, a noble human with the clear conscience of a newly born enters your home, you will find peace, in your home, and in your heart." This curse has not been broken ever since. Enter the home of Hugo van den Loonsche Duynen, so that the curse will be taken off his home, and his soul shall find the peace he so intensely desires. |
