Man! Something really weird happened today, a stranger and I mean a complete stranger contacyed me!
'Kay, yall know how I have a YouTube account well during first semester I had a project in my med class where we had to research about any culture's healers. And I picked mine, Mexican, cause my buela is a "medicine woman" I guess would be the best way to describe in English but in Spanish she's a Sobadora which deals with physical healing and a Curandera which is a spiritual healer.
Pretty cool right?
Well I thought would make my project even better if I recorded her doing both, which yall can see what it looks like.
Anyways since they're up on YouTube anyone can see them which brings me to today when this lady asked me where my buela lives. Which kind of freaked me out cause the internet word is pretty sketchy. So I gave her my email address to ask her more personal questions.
When she contacted me I found out that she needs help, she's sick with what she thinks is El Ojo Mali which causes bad luck, misfortune, and bad health. But when she explained her symptoms it sounded more like se tiene Susto.
I mean 'she has' Susto, man whenever there's Spanish involved I end up speaking it, sorry bout that.
Like I was saying it sounds like Susto to me that is caused by a sudden fright that can range from a sudden animal call (dogs, birds, etc.) to something very tramatic like a car wreck. (which is what happened to my buleo.)
So basically I just got my buela a customer through "advertisment" of youtube! How cool is that!!? So if yall every need some healing come on over she's better than any doctor and without all the paperwork and expenses.
Trust me I can vouch through personal experience whenever me and my siblings were sick or injured.:)
