There is a common misconception
surrounding the female healer that is
the Bruja in Latin America. These
women are ostracized from society,
and live with criticism and
misappropriation. They are seen as evil
beings in constant search of ill-practice.
Growing up in an environment that
frequents the presence of metaphysical
and alternative therapy, I have had the
pleasure of personally meeting and
receiving therapy from a Bruja.
