For our next episode, we're welcoming Teresa Urrea, known as "La Santa de Cabora," into our Coven. We explore her natal chart in connection with her extraordinary healing abilities and revolutionary spirit in 19th-century Mexico. We discuss her miraculous transformation at age 16, her powerful blend of indigenous healing practices with spiritual activism, and how she became "the most dangerous girl in Mexico" by inspiring indigenous resistance against the Díaz regime, all before her exile to the United States at age 19.
