Meet Them Mondays

Miami is a metropolis, think of it as a brewing cauldron of cultures, ethnicities, and races. With that comes a vibrant mix of religions, spiritual beliefs and a blend of new and old mystic practices. For this episode of Meet Them Mondays we're exploring Miami's bruja culture with Astrologer Valerie Mesa and The Tarot Queen Sisther Pravia. We spoke about botanicas, balancing being a bruja with traditional religion, how to get started on your empath journey, and how to self-care in the bruja world. Valerie even read the 2019 horoscope, and we answered your faq's when it comes to tarot and astrology. Make sure to follow @ValerieMesa @TheTarotQueen and host @RoamFreeWrites on IG.
