Are We Witches?

Show Notes

This episode is available as a video on YouTube! Watch it here.

In this episode, Sarah and Lisa are beside themselves with excitement to talk with Maritza Schafer, founder of Bruja School and someone who's been practicing magic her whole life. Maritza was raised in Chile in a family of witches and learned brujería from her grandmother before going on to develop her own method, that she calls Liberation Magic, a blend of ancestral wisdom, spiritual practice, and personal transformation. Through her Bruja School, Maritza helps people build meaningful spiritual practices and reconnect with their own power. We're thrilled to chat with her about brujeria, liberation magic, and what it is to be a witch in the modern world.

Welcome to the podcast, Maritza.
