Brujería is a term used in Latin American cultures to describe practices associated with witchcraft and magic. It often involves the use of rituals, spells, and herbal remedies to influence events or people. Practitioners, known as brujos or brujas, may seek to heal, protect, or bring about change in their communities. The beliefs surrounding brujería are deeply rooted in indigenous traditions and African spiritual practices. It is often viewed with a mix of fear and respect, as some believe it can be used for both good and harmful purposes. In many cultures, brujería plays a significant role in addressing social issues and personal challenges.
