The Owner of Witchy Apothecary
My Story
Welcome to my Witchy shop!
I’m Maila, your guide to a selection of homemade products created in my kitchen and office, using recipes passed down through generations of Brujas Espiritistas, and Curanderas. With a rich heritage of traditional brujería spanning 154 years, I’ve learned from my elders, especially my cherished Yaya (Taina abuelita), a respected figure in Puerto Rico. She imparted the true essence of our practice, teaching me the importance of herbs, rituals, and the art of spell casting from a young age.
As an empath, clairvoyant/clairaudient, psychic, medium, and practitioner of diverse magical traditions, I bring over 41 years of experience in divination, Espiritismo, and brujería. My devotion is to La Santísima Muerte, whom I consider my guiding spirit …my madrecita. I possess extensive knowledge in Espiritismo and Santería, having been raised in these traditions, and I am an Aborisha.
I am initiated and experienced in practices such as Ifá, 21 Division, and scratched in Palo Mayombe. Additionally, I am a curandera, herbalist, necromancer, hood practitioner, and demonologist, with established relationships with various spirits that enrich my practices.
I utilize a range of divination tools, including bones, tarot cards, playing cards, española cards, pendulums, fire, wax, tabacomancia, and water. Each tool provides unique into the spiritual realm, enhancing the divination experience. Whether you seek guidance or clarity, these tools serve as powerful instruments in the journey of exploration.

I invite you to discover my offerings, crafted with love and reverence for the traditions that have shaped my journey.
