But sacrifice of the flesh... «Witchcraft and Welfare»
HighlandMary15 марта 2022But sacrifice of the flesh does not mean asceticism. Modern brujos fancy sassy clothes, glamorous jewels, flashy cars, and the latest technological gadgets. Outwardly these commodities mark their affluence, which also indexes their spiritual prosperity. Their altares must reflect prosperity as well. In contrast to the consumption of banal objects, having their altar well equipped with several santos, crowned with expensive charms and amulets, is necessary to show where their true loyalties lie. Thus, even if they have to forgo their basic needs—use up savings or take out a loan, for example—they will buy the most lavish ritual objects. Personal sacrifice is an indispensable investment in the realm of spiritual power.
