Publisher's summary

There is a new kind of witch emerging in our cultural consciousness: the bruja.

Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of BIPOC witches, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, is reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft of today. Brujas chronicles the magical lives of these practitioners as they develop their healing arts, express their progressive politics, and extend their personal rituals into community activism. They are destigmatizing the "witch" of their ancestries and bringing persecuted traditions to the open to challenge cultural appropriation and spiritual consumerism. Part memoir, part ritual guide, Brujas empowers listeners to decolonize their spiritual practices and connect with their own ancestors. Brujas reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend - it's a movement.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Narration

Really hard to focus on the story with the terrible butchering pronunciation of every Spanish word. Yorona, brewhus, makes my eyes twitch, would’ve been way better to have someone who speaks Spanish to narrate.

A gift of pure authentic love

This book is an amazing gift. A gift that I am so grateful for having this divinely placed onto my lap. The stories, the facts, the truths, the magic, the resources and local communities that have been beautifully woven into this book is something I have never seen, let alone felt before! I love this book and receive this with so much love and care and will be a seed for my garden of self love and self awareness. I am so honored to have this audible bless my ears and the book soon to be in hand to awaken a new world in my spirit. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ancestors importance in your everyday

What a great way to honor yourself and your ancestors. It was nice to hear more fact about how Brujas came about, and what the importance in my culture teaching, and how to honor others. Be it you are student, or teacher, there is something for all to enjoy.

On point

An honest, responsible, respectful and decolonized, beautifully organized execution of a complex system that is often difficult to nail down. Tons of resources also.

saddened by the rants...

I genuinely liked the book. it was very interesting and had a lot of good stories and advice. I was just saddened every time she went on a liberal rant, getting away from the true story in the book and getting extremely political. I would have loved it if all of that hat been left out.
