A Jamaican legend about the Golden Table arose from the Spaniards’ quest to find gold when they landed on our shores. It’s said that the Table occasionally rises at noon to the surface of the Rio Cobre, where the River Mumma, a Water spirit, inhabits. Those who see the Golden Table become enthralled and obsessed with obtaining it. However, their efforts to acquire it always end in death and disaster.
