Why did you choose a subject like magic and witchcraft first in Witch of Portobello and now in Brida? Do you believe in things like magic and witchcraft?
Of course I do. Unfortunately the word “witch” has still many prejudices. To me, a witch is a woman that is capable of letting her intuition take hold of her actions, that communes with her environment, that isn’t afraid of facing challenges. In Brida I dive into the life of a woman that has this awareness and insatiable desire for more knowledge, more understanding of her place in this world. In The Witch of Portobello I decided to focus more on the prejudice that modern witches face in modern society.

Brida was the first of your books that I read, a friend lend me her copy of Brida in Spanish, I loved it and I started buying all of your books, now I own my copy of Brida in English, I also read the Witch of Portobello and loved it too, some of my favorites of your books along with The Alchemist and The Zahir!!!
I like the part when you wrote in the Witch of Portobello, that the Priest says to Athena that the people in the churches wouldn’t let Jesus in the church either, after he denied her comunion! this is so true of many “Christian” churches, it’s so sad, I wish they realized they’d gone astray when they judge and condemn people only because they are diferent! I think they forgot that God’s comandment was to love your neighbor like yourself not love your neighbor that go to your church like yourself!!!
We are in so much need of unconditional Love and compasion!!!

Brida is a beautiful guide in the mystery of the night…The Witch of Portobello a sign that there is a time for everything…and that you have to take care of Brida’s witchcraft in modern society who still likes to own nature.
I thank you for sharing the magic of a woman.
