Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color

<b>"Brujas, Witches of Color are ancestral magical beings and the world we live in has tried to silence our voices. . . . This book is such a beautiful tribute to the different stories and experiences we go through as brujas. . . . Amplify the voice of Witches of Color by reading their stories."</b> <b>—</b>Juliet Diaz, author of <i>Witchery</i> and <i>Plant Witchery</i> <b>There is a new kind of witch emerging in our cultural consciousness: the <i>bruja</i>.</b><p>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. <i>Brujas</i> 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.</p><p>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,<i> Brujas</i> empowers readers to decolonize their spiritual practices and connect with their own ancestors.</p><b><i>Brujas</i> reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend—it’s a movement.</b>
