Summary

"Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of withces, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, are reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft today. Brujas chronicles the magical lives of these practitioners as they develop their healing arts, express their progressive ploitics, and extend their personal rituals into community activism. They are destigmatizing the "witch" of their ancestries and bringing persecuted traditions into the open to challenge cultural appropriation and spirtual consumerism. Part memoir, part ritual guide, Brujas empowers readers to decolonize their spiritual practices and connect with their own ancestors. Brujas reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend-- it's an enduring movement."--page 2 of cover
