Witchcraft or sorcery; the practice of magic or supernatural powers, particularly in Hispanic cultures.
From Spanish 'bruja' (witch) + '-eria' (practice or craft suffix). The '-eria' suffix creates abstract nouns meaning the practice or collection of something, common in Spanish. Evolved from Latin and Basque roots.
In Colombian and Mexican folklore, 'brujeria' includes specific practices like 'mal de ojo' (evil eye) and herbal remedies that blur the line between folk medicine, magic, and religion—many accused 'brujas' were actually herbalist healers threatening the Church's monopoly on health.
