Plural of brujo; multiple male witches or sorcerers.
Plural form of 'brujo' (from Latin, possibly from Basque roots). The masculine plural in Spanish.
In contemporary Latin American literature, 'brujos' often represent indigenous knowledge systems and resistance to colonialism—characters like those in Gabriel García Márquez's works embody ancestral wisdom rather than evil, reclaiming the word.
Plural of brujo; masculine plural often defaults as unmarked collective in Spanish, potentially erasing women practitioners from 'brujos' collective unless context specifies gender inclusivity.
Use 'brujos y brujas', 'practitioners of brujería', or specify gender composition when relevant. Avoid masculine plural as default for mixed-gender groups.
["witches (gender-neutral plural)","practitioners of traditional magic","brujos y brujas","curanderos y curanderas"]
Women's contributions to Spanish-American magical practices are linguistically obscured when masculine 'brujos' serves as catch-all; explicit inclusion restores historical visibility.
