WITCHCRAFT
IN LATIN
AMERICA
Witchcraft in Latin America, known in Spanish as brujería (pronounced
[b?uxe?'i.a]), is a complex blend of indigenous, African, and European
influences. Indigenous cultures had spiritual practices centered around
nature and healing, while the arrival of Africans brought syncretic
religions like Santería and Candomblé.

LA BRUJA
MEXICAN
WITCHCRAFT
As you may know, there are Brujas Blancas (white witches) and Brujas Negras
(black witches). The white witches do good and the black witches cast spells
for which mean or envious people pay them. Most witches also practice as
curanderas, or practitioners of herbal medicine and home remedies. During
the Inquisition witches might be put death for their un-Godly practice.
