Part 2 of my conversation with Osea! In this conversation, we continue our exploration of the complexities of identity, spirituality, and cultural practices. Osea shares her journey of self-identification as a bruja and a Palo priestess, navigating the intersections of her Mexican heritage, Catholic upbringing, and the rich tapestry of ancestral practices they encompass. We discuss syncretism, engaging with closed traditions, and the importance of holistic healing practices that honor cultural roots. We discuss the role of the dead, spiritual warfare, and racism in magical systems. Join us!
