The Ordinary Bruja

For fans of Mexican Gothic and The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, The Ordinary Bruja is a psychological horror and magical realism novel about grief, ancestral secrets, Dominican brujería, and one woman’s fight to reclaim the magic her family tried to bury.

When strange messages appear in mirrors, and the scent of cigar smoke follows her through her small Ohio hometown, Marisol Espinal must confront the ghosts of her past, the truth about her mother’s death, and the family curse waiting for her on Hallowthorn Hill.

Her family buried the magic. Now it wants out.

Reflections on Gaza: Exploring the Emotional and Humanitarian Landscape


Recalling a childhood squabble over a beloved toy, I couldn’t help but see its reflection in the complex emotional landscape of the Gaza crisis. Through our stories, we confront the discomfort that arises when faced with others’ suffering. I share how this has driven me to seek a deeper understanding of this region’s historical and current anguish. The stark reality of life in Gaza challenges us to look past the narrative often presented and engage with the intricate web of ownership, emotion, and survival that defines this humanitarian emergency.

Amidst the shadows of conflict, there gleams a ray of hope in the form of organizations like Direct Relief and Doctors Without Borders, tirelessly providing medical aid to those caught in the crossfire. The episode brings you voices from the ground—creators and ordinary individuals who have become chroniclers of their own war-torn stories by the force of circumstance. Their accounts and the call to action for peace and support underscore the episode’s plea for empathy and involvement. We discuss how even the smallest acts of advocacy, education, and donation can stitch together a tapestry of relief for the people of Gaza. We invite you to join us in making a tangible difference.
