The Biz Bruja Podcast

Esoteric Esa & The Biz Bruja Convo on the Rise of Bruja Scammers & Fake Accounts

In the last two years, there have been more FAKE accounts imitating astrologers, psychics and spiritual workers than ever and Instagram isn't moving quick enough to support professionals who are dealing with this issue as well as our fans and communities that may be scammed out of money.

I decided to have various conversations about this issue. I got together with a astrologer, psychic, digital entrepreneur, writer and bruja fabulosa, Esoteric Esa to platicar about this issue that is affecting BIPOC and Latinx communities.

We discuss with seriousness and humor:

* What is actually happening with the increase of FAKE ACCOUNTS and Instagram scammers

* What to look for when seeing fake accounts and scammers

*  The importance of discernment and why it's key that we slow down and pay attention

* Let's stop rushing our spiritual growth

* How the Age of Aquarius is inspiring us now and how the shifts of the Nodes will bring everything into light

*  Why it's important for Spiritual Leaders to take care of their communities

* Why silence is complacency

The Biz Bruja Podcast: When Spiritual Teachers Tell You Spiritual Protection Practices Attract Negativity

Mi gente bella! I shared this on YouTube and felt called to add it to my podcast. I've heard the " When you're in the love & light" nothing can touch you for the last few decades from mostly New Age teachers.

It's ok when we affirm our blessed place in the Universe or our Abuelita is affirming that we are loved and held pero if your spiritual teacher says," Forget egg limpias, cleansing, clearing and grounding- I don't need all that! I'm in the love and light! When you do Spiritual protection you are inviting the negativity in"~ are los ojos and pay attention.

I invite you to take a look at your teacher, their privilege and tap into your own intuition, Ancestral wisdom and guidance. As Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQIA and immigrants we have our own inherent needs for rituals, energy nurturing and protecting practices. Follow what feels best for YOU and remember that our Ancestors lived by certain spiritual practices that helped them survive, gain resilience, strength and thrive. These practices are our sacred gifts and help us grow our mind, body and spirit health.

I'd love to hear what you think about this and your experiences.

The Biz Bruja Podcast: Being A Bruja Is More Than Trend

It's been A MINUTE! Finally got married in July- it was amazing! My fam came down with Covid-19 and as I juggled that and my retreat to Mexico and a project I am sharing soon- my podcast fell to the side!

I guess she wanted to come back! I started a video for my website and LOL I started talking about being a bruja and what that means to me. Being a bruja is more than a trend and showing up reclaiming who we truly are is in service to our liberation and to liberation of of our people. Being a bruja has always been intertwined with social justice and serving the community.

I hope you enjoy!

We coming back with more!

The Biz Bruja Podcast: Keepin' Up With The Brujas

Gemini made me do it! LOL or the Pisces Moon! Do you feel pressured to keep up with all things spiritual? That to be a REAL bruja you need to know all.the.things? 

I've noticed with the rise of spiritual, esoteric, bruja and curandera information online and the pandemic's invitation to heal- that many folks are pressuring themselves to be "more spiritual" or a better "bruja." Let's not replace society's standards or religious pressures with the internal critic pressure of "not being a good enough bruja." Being a bruja and a spiritualist is a journey of healing, exploration, expression and celebration! 

Perfectionism and comparison can also exist in the land of the healers and brujas! In fact, these colonizer mindsets and oppressions worked consciously and subconsciously to separate us from who we truly BE.

This episode is me riffing on my experiences and perceptions. We are all on our own path and while they may be similar or inspire us with similarities- we are all on our own unique journey. We need to remember this and listen to our own powerful knowing above and beyond what the trends, expectations or society's presentation of what a spiritual. We are here to reclaim and REDEFINE how we BE and how we thrive. 

Please receive what serves you and release what doesn't serve.

Let me know how this lands with you brujitx!

Mucho amor y magia,

Vanessa

Priscilla Stephan: Leading through the Mystic Archetype

Brazilian-American Priscilla shares her journey from wanting to be a nun or an astronaut to being an event coordinator, fashion jewelry designer and working in corporate to the Akashic Records and business leadership development.

 

She describes the Akashic Records as Harry Potter’s Library in the Ether- endless infinite library with all the information through dimensions, time and space- a great way to connect with the guides who have been traveling with us from lifetime to lifetime! After twenty years of reading tarot, Priscilla encouraged me to study and teach the Akashic Records!

 

One of the ways that the Records are different from other practices is that it requires you to be an active, empowered participant in the session.  Once we show up willing to be accountable and take responsibility- the guides are there to reflect that back with the most practical and concise information at the time, understanding it’s not predictive and that we do have free will. 

 

Her life changed completely when she studied the Akashic Records and describes living a life in technicolor instead of black and white. 

 

• Everyone has their interests and specialty in the Akashic Records. 

• Trusting where you feel the pull. Trust that it may go in phases. 

• Why she doesn’t feel called in the Records but rather download strategy and her channeled archetype system. 

• How her guides “the little fuckers” asked her to download a little book for us and it became a whole body of work.

• In the archetype system Priscilla downloaded, healers are under the Mystics category and they can be creative, intuitive and healing. Mystics are here to elevate consciousness on the planet with these gifts. 

• Priscilla shares one of the major abilities that healers tend to discount

• Shares what is an archetype and the five archetypes in her system.

• Her process of answering the Call and moving through the answering of your call.

• The Mystic’s kryptonite

• How healers forget themselves and go overboard

• Healers are more than their service.

New Moon in Pisces: Cyclical creatures~Criaturas cíclicas

Spirit invited me to connect with y'all today because it's a beautiful astrological line up for release, healing and flow!

I have a New Moon gathering every month in my monthly membership Bruja Rising and this hypno-meditation is created just for this space. 

New Moon always invites is to release and make way for the new. So many of us want to add to an already full plate, until we can't. Our health or other situations kick up to remind us...we are cyclical creatures. Criaturas cíclicas.

We are between years and phases as next week we move into the New Astrological Year with Sun in Aries.

By 8:41 minutes the meditation begins so please don't drive with this on and allow yourself some time to go deep.

Meditation- releasing grief and loss from our energy field and making room for joy, beginnings and love.  

Thank you all for your support, your kindness and your feedback! Please let me know if this served and share with friends! 

If you're interested in Bruja Rising know that it includes a New Moon zoom gathering and Full Moon Bruja Oracle Hours, yep I open the Akashic Records and we explore energetic patterns and receive intuitive guidance! I also have talented Latinx and BIPOC guides bringing their magic every month!
