Welcome to Bruja Season: Embracing Our Ancestral Magic (Limited Collection)
Bruja Season is officially here at Más Bonita! This limited-time collection invites you to reclaim your inner Bruja and honor the ancestral wisdom passed down through generations. But this isn’t just a collection; it’s a celebration of our cultural and spiritual roots. The Latinas behind Más Bonita—who identify as Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban—know firsthand how important it is to recognize the rich history of these practices and traditions. Through this collection, we’re embracing the ancestral magic that has always been part of our heritage, the knowledge that runs through our veins, and the power we carry within. ¡Es tiempo de reclamar nuestro poder!
The Magic of Our Ancestors
In Latine cultures, spirituality, and brujería have always been deeply rooted in the connection to la tierra, the spirits of our ancestors, and the natural world. Though many of us were raised in Catholic households, these practices were never truly abandoned—they simply continued in the background, often passed down quietly through generations.
Our abuelas and bisabuelas taught us the importance of rituals, remedies, and spiritual cleansings. They were the original curanderas, santeras, and Brujas who knew how to nurture hierbas medicinales like ruda, manzanilla, and romero to heal the body and soul. These practices, deeply tied to our Indigenous and African roots, have always existed alongside more formal religious practices. However, because of colonization and the influence of Catholicism, brujería has often been stigmatized. Pero ya no más. We no longer need to practice in the shadows. We are reclaiming these traditions with pride, knowing that they are a powerful part of who we are.
The Indigenous Roots of Brujería
The spiritual practices we’re celebrating in Bruja Season aren’t new—they are ancient. In Mexico, the Nahuatl people practiced earth-based rituals long before colonization. They relied on the healing power of the land, using herbs to cure ailments, and performing rituals to connect with community and their ancestors. In Puerto Rico, the Taíno people were deeply connected to the earth and the spirits of nature, while in Cuba, the blending of Yoruba traditions with Indigenous practices gave rise to santería, a spiritual system that honors the orishas and the forces of nature.
Our ancestors knew that the natural world provided everything we needed to heal, protect, and manifest our desires. These traditions have been passed down through generations, even as colonization tried to destroy them. Today, Bruja Season is about honoring this knowledge and bringing it into the light. It’s about celebrating la magia that has always been part of our culture.
Bruja Season: A Celebration of Inner Power
Our Bruja Season collection is for everyone ready to reclaim the title of Bruja. Brujas are the healers, protectors, and spiritual leaders in our communities. Whether you’re lighting a candle for protection, making offerings to your ancestors, or using herbs to heal, you’re connecting with something much larger than yourself.
This season, we are embracing our roots, reclaiming the wisdom of our ancestors, and stepping into our power without fear or shame. Whether you’re sipping cafecito from a Bruja Season mug or rocking a Bruja tee that reminds you to trust your magic, remember that you are part of a long lineage of powerful women.
Reclaiming Our Power and Rejecting Stigma
There’s no denying that brujería has carried a stigma in our communities, especially for those of us who were raised Catholic. Many of us were taught to view these practices as something dangerous or taboo. But we are here to tell you: brujería is part of our heritage, and it’s time to reclaim it.
Being a Bruja is about recognizing the sacred knowledge passed down through the generations. It’s about understanding that we have the power to heal ourselves and our communities. Bruja Season is about rejecting the shame that colonization tried to impose on us and embracing the power that comes from our roots.
