The Rainbow House - Casa Acozamalotl
A podcast from the borderland of spirituality, race, identity, and community, the Rainbow House highlights the voices of mixed race and minority people who choose a spiritual path other than Christianity or generic spirituality. Walk with those of us who are looking at our heritage and hoping to craft healing, fight injustice, and honor our ancestors and ourselves!
Episodes
A brief, personal call to action.
We bring our conversation with Osea to a close! In this episode, I forgot to include an intro but we cover what it means to be a curandera, how not to be a spiritual colonist, more history and politics, and the complexity of making magic.
Mentioned in this episode:
The Invention of Nature: Alexander Von Humboldt's New World by Andrea Wulf
Part 2 of my conversation with Osea! We talk about Curanderismo, Brujeria, and Palo. We discuss the role of the dead, spiritual warfare, and racism in magical systems. Join us!
