Divination and spiritual cleansing are also integral to the Mexican witch lifestyle. Brujas and brujos use methods such as tarot cards, pendulums, and scrying to gain insights into the past, present, and future. Spiritual cleansings, known as limpias, are performed to remove negative energy and restore balance and harmony to individuals or spaces. In Mexican folklore, the evil witch, la bruja malvada, is portrayed as a malevolent figure who uses her powers for harm.
