America is home to many spiritual practices that were once considered evil - like Brujeria or Hoodoo. But today, more people are looking to reclaim these ancestral traditions.This hour on Disrupted, we hear how slavery gave birth to Hoodoo and how young African-Americans are embracing their past. We learn about Brujeria, a witchcraft tradition from Latin America. And, the legacy of Pamela Coleman-Smith - a forgotten artist who changed the face of tarot cards.

Guests:

• Yvonne Chireau – Professor of Religion at Swarthmore College and author of Black Magic: Religion and the African American Conjuring Tradition.
• Lorraine Monteagut – practicing Bruja and author of Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color
• Elizabeth Foley O'Connor – Associate Professor of English, Director of the Gender Studies Program at Washington College in Maryland, author of Pamela Colman Smith: Artist, Feminist & Mystic
