Hechizera: Sus Sultry Spells

by Diosa Xochiquetzalcoatl, Masiel M. Corona Santos (Editor)

This poetry collection takes Diosa Xochiquetzalcóatl's first poetry book, A Church of My Own, and puts it on it's head! She has affectionately dubbed Sus Sultry Spells as "The Church's Basement." Although this poetry collection is not part of a series, it does seem to a possess a sequential juxtaposition. But fear not! If you have not read her first book, A Church of My Own, this book still stands on its own!

Sus Sultry Spells, is a multilingual poetry collection that takes a deep dive into the land of the 13 Underworlds, the land of Hades and Persephone, the land of Mictlan. In this poetry collection, we explore our shadow selves, our wounded warrior, that side of humanity that is looked down upon. With the guidance of Xochiquetzal, the Mexica Goddess of beauty, sex, and fertility, Diosa X makes us lick our wounds, embrace our own sexuality and sensuality as well as our feminine power by bringing this darkness to the light, giving birth to the new world, the Aquarian Era, el Sexto Sol.

you will find yourself spellbound, your inner witch will come out and cast new foresight into your future. all your ancestors will resuscitate new life in you and those who've wronged you will fear your reclaimed power.
this 239-page collection of poems will make you unstoppable, giving you encouragement during yourself love journey while flipping the middle finger to ex-lovers, without loss to your dignity.

sensuality is throughout the poems, in addition to laughter, personal insight. Highly recommend carrying a journal for self-reflection and creating your own spells and affirmations.

This book is a must read! Takes you into the magical, a world both recognizable and full of spiritual sense. With her Latina flair, she gives this book so much “sazón”. Loved it!
