Explore Mexican Magic,Curanderismo and Brujeria with Wendy Mata! Wendy is the founder of Bruja Power Botanica and is a Bruja Curandera by lineage. She is initiated in Shamanism in Yucatán, trained in Curanderismo and Brujería through her family line, and is a certified Reiki Master and Advanced Pranic Healer. Wendy blends ancestral wisdom with global experience.Before stepping fully into her spiritual path; Wendy led global product launches in cybersecurity and digital forensics. She is the Author of: “Bruja Curandera - Spells, Rituals & Ancestor Work from a Mexican Healer & Witch” by Llewellyn Worldwide. An avid traveler, Wendy shares the ancient wisdom and magic of Mexico to reclaim one’s own inner power through in person and online events.

Wendy’s journey began while growing up in a family that practiced Brujeria Curanderismo in Mexico. A few members of her family were healers and she observed how people would come to some of her family for spiritual cleansing (Limpias), healing, soul retrieval and guidance. Her father got into metaphysics and brought Wendy to his classes where she learned about the power of the mind to manifest possibilities.

We jump into what Brujeria, (Mexican Folk Magic) and how it was always around but shifted through the colonization from the Spanish and influenced by other traditions such as African, Hindu and Jewish. Curanerdismo was much more indigenous and connected to the plants of Mexico and has stayed much more traditional. Wendy is both a Witch (Bruja) and a Healer (Curandera). The basis of Curanderismo is that everything is energy and our bodies, mind and spirit reflect the energies of our environment. If there is an imbalance in any of these; Curanderismo can help bring it back to balance and cleanse/release calcifications, energetic imprints, generational trauma, and unwanted energies in us using plants, stones/crystals, smoke, fire, water, incantations, etc. to reset and reprogram a person’s energetic body to create higher vibrations. Her favorite element to work with in ritual/healing ceremonies is fire.

We explore ancestors which can mean many things to us, not always blood lineage and all that comes with them(the good, the bad & the ugly). They can be ancestors of the heart, such as teachers/mentors, adopted parents, someone who has had an impact on your life. And we also have the ancestors of the land and cultural ancestors. Wendy discusses how there is so much healing and transformation when we recognize that we are not alone. We are the product of decisions of thousands of people that came before us. Wendy mentions that her personal stories in her book came to her from her ancestors in the oral tradition of a story with some information that can be a living teaching.

Wendy's new book is a beautiful tribute to her Mexican ancestry and an Ofrenda (Offering) to her ancestors and people of Mesoamerica. She created this book to remind people of the Mexican folk magic, cultural traditions and invite people to feel comfortable with the old ways also can also be a toolkit to reclaiming your heritage and power as a Bruja The spells, rituals, exercises and incantations are open to everybody as a contemporary spiritual practice as long as they are handled with respect. Ultimately we decide that our lives are going to be different and reclaim our power since we have the power to be the Magia of our lives.

Discover the Arianrhod Silver Wheel Anthology in this special roundtable
discussion on Goddess Arianrhod featuring my guests Jhenah Telyndru & Maddi Jabin.

We delve into who Arianhrod is and her mythology and attributes as a beloved and powerful Welsh Goddess! We know of Arianhrod’s mythology from the 4th branch of the Mobigan. A woman unto herself setting boundaries and standing in her truth. Arianghrod rejects motherhood and rules her own court on an island in the sky Caer Arianhrod or Caer Sidi and she is known as a Sovereign Goddess and who spins the fate and destiny of souls, cycles of time and lunar cycles. Her Welsh name translates to Silver Wheel. She is feminist living her own life on her own terms and is a celestial (the Aurora Borealis) , sea and land deity. From a cultural/historical context; Arianhrod lived in Celtic Britain at the transition time from matriliny to patriliny. She holds onto the Mother Right and fights for her rights. Arianrhod is a Goddess for the moment!

We dive into the: Silver Wheel - A Devotional Anthology in Honor of Arainhrod by Ninth Wave Press and discuss the genesis, journey and evolution that this project underwent to be birthed into the world in late August of 2026. The dedication and commitment by volunteers, the Sisters of Avalon, committees, volunteers and the many authors who contributed to make this anthology possible was a very long process. This is one of the Welsh goddesses of a series of anthologies that The Sisterhood of Avalon are devoted to. Maddi points out which originally started as an idea over 10 years ago!

The Silver Wheel anthology is a treasured book for anyone who wants to connect and form a relationship with Arianhrod through the many personal and inspiring stories, meditations, rituals, poetry, and music/songs from a variety of contributing Authors including myself, Bridget Engels. I am so honored to be a part of this radiantly devotional book!

Jhenah ends our episode with a quick visualization to open up with Land, Sky and Sea to connect with holy Arianhrod to catalyze change and rebirth in our lives. Tune in and be enlightened! More about Jhenah at: https://linktr.ee/YnysAfallon, www.sisterhoodofavalon.org/ninth-wave-press,

Explore the Midlife Passage with ISIS and Sarah La Rosa! Sarah is an author, tarot practitioner, healer and guide devoted to women’s spirituality, mythic embodiment and initiatory transformation. Her work explores the sacred thresholds of feminine becoming through mythology, tarot, ritual, poetry and lived experience. She is the author of Her Strange Angels, a devotional collection of prose and prayer for women walking the path of soul remembrance. Her newest book, Midlife Isis, by Inner Traditions is her most intimate and mythic work to date.

We jump into what the Midlife Passage is for Women in the 10-15 year period that can span from late 30’s through a Woman’s menopausal years with physical, mental and psychological transitions. Sarah tells us that this Midlife Passage is an initiation and a catalyst. Its an invitation to women to more fully anchor who they actually are and who they started out as. This is a terrain that is intensely powerful and empowering.

Sarah, as a magical person and healer, wanted to express in her book the Midlife Passage of women through a mythic lens. Her book Midlife ISIS walks women through the myth and symbology of Egyptian Goddess ISIS and her Goddess Sisters, tarot, journeying, personal experiences, numerology and the astrology of the Midlife Passage. Her book is a magical companion for the woman walking through a midlife journey.

We delve into the myth of ISIS and why her ancient stories of loss, dismemberment, deconstruction, resurrection and rebuilding into Her full cosmic, magical, embodied sovereignty is such a relevant inspiration to the women moving through the midlife transition. If women invite Goddess ISIS into their life as a guide; she will show up with her wisdom and power in an accessible way!

And who is the Wild Queen? She is the archetype that sits on her throne between the Mother and the Crone in the Triple Goddess consciousness. Sovereign and discerning she reclaims herself. This is the initiation of the Midlife Woman to bridge from the Mother to the Wild Queen archetype. The name ISIS means “throne”. She is the invitation to be the throne- that's what this Midlife Passage is all about. But we must do the work to get there!

Sarah ends our episode with a quick visualization to open up to ISIS and connect with what is still alive in you to carry into your future. More about Sarah at: www.sarahlarosa.com Tune in and be enlightened!
