The Spirits of Miraflores: Exclusive Secrets from "Los Brujos de Chávez"
Brujería, a term often used interchangeably with witchcraft, has its roots in the African diaspora. Enslaved Africans, brought to Venezuela by Spanish colonizers, brought with them their spiritual practices, which eventually blended with indigenous and European traditions. Over time, brujería evolved into a unique form of spiritual expression, incorporating elements of African, Catholic, and indigenous beliefs.
