¡curandero!
¡sobandero!
¡hermano!
¡brujo!
i feel my stomach churn
when i mention home!
i cannot sleep at night!
¡curandero!
please fix me!
¡ay dios mío!
¡niña tu tienes mal aire!
you are a sick child!
too young to carry
so many ghosts!
you must follow my instructions clearly.
¡sobate con un huevo!
rub a cold raw egg all over your body!
make sure you rub the cold surface on your forehead!
it cleanses your mind!
then rub it down your back
to fix that spine!
it will straighten you up!
¡compra una vela blanca!
make sure to light your white candle
at six in the morning and six in the evening.
these are the times when
the sun caresses it’s lips to the horizon.
a beginning and end so mystical
that even ghosts pause to witness the view.
these are the moments where you must
ignite them away.
you must also pray
my child.
pray to whatever divine force
you believe in.
but curandero the only divine force i know
is myself.
how can i heal if i alone am the destroyer?
mija,
there exists no such thing.
you alone are you.
to heal you must destroy.
to destroy you must heal.
escúchame,
you are divine.
the ghosts you keep are not friends.
scare them away.
show them your power.
come see me again,
but when you return,
you will be new.
with the ways of el curandero
you will thrive in
your own cosmos.

mi padre me llevo a conocer el hermanito. el era un curandero en el cerro y este hombre me curo. me quito el mal aire pero no supo que mi padre era el fantasma que llevaba adentro de mi. ya lo perdone.

I walked aimlessly
Vulnerable and afraid
In the middle of the night
Luna llena!, a vieja shouted
Es la noche del amor!
There you were, man of stone
Darkest lips, thickest hips, deepest soul
Honey, herbs and songs
Honey, herbs and songs
A ritual of love
Under the full moon
Bajo la luna del amor
Brujo, curandero, heal within
Conjure every star inside your soul
Call on every guide, sing every song
It is ok to live with a broken heart
Brujo, the journey is long
But filled with love
Vulnerable and afraid
In the middle of the night
Luna llena!, a vieja shouted
Es la noche del amor!
There you were, man of stone
Darkest lips, thickest hips, deepest soul
Honey, herbs and songs
Honey, herbs and songs
A ritual of love
Under the full moon
Bajo la luna del amor
Brujo, curandero, heal within
Conjure every star inside your soul
Call on every guide, sing every song
It is ok to live with a broken heart
Brujo, the journey is long
But filled with love

Brujo Alligatore says
To be mortal is a blessing, of course.
We say: To live!
<drink from bowl>
Brujo Alligatore says
To be mortal is a curse.
We say: To die!
<And drink>
Brujo Alligatore says
To be aware of death is to be sad.
We say: To know!
<And drink>
Brujo Alligatore has light coming from his mouth and eyes that says
You may *****, you will die, but not tonight.
