Black Witch Survives 3 Witch Trials | The True Story of Paula de Eguiluz
8:54 ( I meant to say mid 1630's honest mistake)
She was enslaved.
She was beautiful.
And she was dangerous — because she knew too much.
In this powerful episode, we uncover the true story of Paula de Eguiluz, a dark-skinned Afro-Caribbean healer who survived three brutal witch trials under the Spanish Inquisition in Cartagena.
Was she a witch? A victim? A conjurer? Or a strategist who outsmarted one of the most feared institutions in history?
🔮 From healing with herbs and love spells to being accused of killing a child through a failed ritual — this story is layered with truth, mystery, and the painful history of Black women who held spiritual power in a world that feared them.
This is not just a tale of persecution — it’s a story of survival.
