The first weekend of March is the brujo (witch) festival in Los Tuxtlas. The epicenter for all of Mexico and much of Central America is Catemaco. They gather for a couple of days and do ritual cleansings of themselves. Then, out they go to sell their power to believers. They set up booths, like these in Santiago and do their thing.


The sign says that this witch, Francisca Vergara Mendosa, is prepared to do card readings, palm readings, has potions to sell, removes bad spells, and also sells amulets and other "magical" junk jewlery. Groovy.
