Brujas

The Magic and Power of Witches of Color

De: Lorraine Monteagut PhD

Narrado por: Diana Blue

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.

I’ll be listening to this one repeatedly!

So much to say about this book. I have a physical copy and will tag so many places/chapters because there was so much relatable information/ stories. Love love love this book!

Read like a Telenovela

The book is not a bad book. it's not a how to but more a bunch of short stories with lessons and practices scattered through out the book. It reads at times like a Spanish Telenovela or a Romance Novel, and if you into that then you will enjoy the book. the Spanish pronunciation of words always annoyed me, and I wish they would choose narrators who speak the language. But I know maby people will love this book, sadly it was not for me. Not bad at all just not my type of reading material.

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.

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.
