In this episode of the Slowdown Podcast, host Sonia Fregoso invites Esoteric Esa, a professional astrologer and writer, to discuss the misconceptions surrounding brujería, black magic, and spiritual practices within the Latine community. They explore the cultural stigmas associated with these practices, the importance of decolonizing spirituality, and the role of intention in magic. The conversation emphasizes the need for community, collaboration, and personal choice in reclaiming indigenous spiritual practices while addressing internalized misogyny and competition among women.
