Quinze Embruxos
Editora Insular, 2021
Fifteen Hexes, fifteen sorceries, fifteen enchantments… fifteen stories versing about different aspects of the culture and folklore of Santa Catarina state and Brazil. Tales about ancient times (sometimes, not so ancient), when witches roamed around and scattered diseases and fear amongst the people; when ‘shriekers’—Southern wraiths, warden of treasures—, cried their horrific screams from the misty mountain cliffs; when Anhangá, the guardian spirit the Brazilian jungles, reigned in all its glory in our coast’s pristine forests.
Let yourself be bewitched by these hexes and understand, or reconfirm, why the Island of Santa Catarina is, de jure and de facto, the Island of Magic.
