Book Description
"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." —Juliet Diaz, author of Witchery and Plant Witchery There is a new kind of witch emerging in our cultural consciousness: the bruja. 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. Brujas 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. 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, 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 a movement.

Book Description
No te fíes de su tamaño; esta es una historia muy grande. El mundo está lleno de luces y sombras, pero muy pocos pueden ver que hay tras ellas. Las fuerzas de la luz y la oscuridad luchan desde el albor de los tiempos por las almas de los hombres. Demonios, brujas, zombis, hadas, espectros y muchas otras criaturas se ocultan entre nosotros. A lo mejor, tras la sonrisa de ese camarero que te sirve el café por las mañanas o la de esa peluquera que te corta el pelo, o quizás también tras el político que con una amable sonrisa demanda tu voto... Aunque probablemente esto último no le extrañe a nadie. Conoceremos a la Sociedad de Conservación Histórica -una organización con más de mil años de antigüedad que lucha contra las fuerzas del mal, convencidos de que la mayor arma contra el mal es la educación- y a uno de sus miembros más controvertidos, Artai, un personaje políticamente incorrecto y con poderes sobrenaturales que se ve inmerso en una aventura más grande de lo que pensaba, mientras busca a su mentor desaparecido. Un poderoso aquelarre se ha reunido con la intención de cubrir el mundo de tinieblas. En su camino, Artai se encontrará con todo tipo de peligros y algunos nuevos amigos que lo ayudarán en su búsqueda, como Iria, la reina de las mouras y primera meiga. Situada en tierras gallegas, La luna de sangre es una trepidante aventura llena de magia y seres sobrenaturales que intercala momentos de acción y de comedia.
