<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><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> <p/><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><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>"This book is impossible to put down! The author's spiritual journey is achingly authentic and poignantly unexpected. She takes the reader on a quest, not only to truly know herself, but to meet countless women of strength and spirit that are rising up to reclaim the idea of witchcraft and reforge it into a vehicle for self-care, healing, and renewal. Beautiful and Brilliant!!!"</b> --Richard, <i>Goodreads</i><br><br>"A love letter to the ancestors, matriarchs past and present, and the new generation looking to connect." -- <i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br>"A necessary book that explores how brujas, no longer maligned, are in the midst of a huge comeback. The author explores their roots while recognizing the importance of their traditions and the cultural significance of witchcraft." --<i>Boston Globe</i><br><br><b>"<i>Brujas </i>explores the liminal spaces between worlds: between the seen and the unseen, between identities and roles, between borders.

Blending memoir, narrative, history, and guidance, <i>Brujas </i>will inspire your personal magical journey and your spiritual activism. <i>Brujas </i> is an act of reparation: Monteagut restores our connection to our ancestors, the land, ourselves, and to one another. Whether you're new to magical work or a long-time witch, <i>Brujas </i>is an absolute must read. It will open your heart and deepen your practice."</b> --Melissa Carroll, editor of <i>Going Om</i> <br><br><br><b>"<i>Brujas</i> is a book much needed in the magical canon.
