If you didn’t already know Latina feminists are reclaiming their inner bruja like we’ve never seen before and what better way to celebrate that than with a thoughtful gift.

This is especially timely with big companies like Sephora and Urban Outfitters trying to cash in on the rise of spirituality as a trend.
So, if you can’t support your local botanica, you can gift the bruja in your life essential oils, a meditation journal, or protection spells made by the entrepreneurial brujas below.
Don’t forget to show yourself some love if you see a product that speaks to you!
