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.
