Miss Aida was born into a family with a deep history of spiritual work. Many of her family members practiced Santeria, Palo, Brujeria, or a combination of all three.
Around the age of two years old, spirits began to visit Miss Aida just to chat. It seemed very natural and, therefore, nothing unusual. They were very kind, especially one man who resembled George Washington, but they always warned her not to tell her mother of their visits. When she attempted to do so, they kindly informed her of their departure, and the chats ended. However, even without the ongoing chats, the presence of spirits has always been made very clear to her. She’s been miraculously saved from an impending plane crash, and other dangerous events.
Her mother, a Santera and Bruja, was from a small town on the island of Cuba, as were her uncles who were Paleros, and an aunt who was a practitioner of all three African Magical Diaspora.. Growing up, all these people had taught her how to readily fix problems through magic. To her, it was just a way of life-- which she thought was normal for everybody! But when she started school, her family warned her not to speak of these practices, as it was illegal at the time.
Although Miss Aida never mentioned her family’s practices, beginning in her mid-teenage years, people that she barely knew, and sometimes even strangers, would ask her to either investigate or eradicate spiritual nuisances occurring in their homes. She readily, and fearlessly, complied while delivering successful results. However, she always emphasized that both she and her abilities were to remain secretive.
As an initiated Santera and Palera within the Cuban community, her role in spiritual masses (Misas Espiritual), was that of the “communicator” between the spirits of the deceased and the non-initiates attending for specific purposes. For many years, she was also an “aperterbi” (assistant) to a well-respected Babalawo (a high priest of Santeria).
But Miss Aida strongly believed that there must be a balance between spiritual practices and growth within the mundane world. Thirsting for knowledge beyond the metaphysical, she enlisted in the United States Air Force and eventually achieved the role of a combat unit aeromedical evacuation flight instructor. In civilian life, she attended college for many years and became a charge nurse of a trauma center, and with her Master’s Degree, eventually graduated to administration.
Upon retirement, her elders had passed away. Attempting to return to her “roots”, she grew weary of the gross misinterpretations and misrepresentations of both Santeria and Palo. That, along with the immoderate slaughtering of animals, in the name of “sacrifice”, was appalling to her. The practice of excessiveness was frowned upon by her elders who perpetually proclaimed that excessive sacrifices were as just harmful as it is to deny any type of offerings to the deities.
Although Santeria and Palo are African Diaspora Religions (ADRs), Hoodoo/Conjure, an African Diaspora Tradition (ADT), and the similarities within these practices are profound. Additionally, she was attracted to the fact that animal sacrifices within this craft is minimal-to-rare. Yet, due to the similarities within these practices, she became a proficient practitioner of Hoodoo/Conjure in a very short period of time!
Throughout time, Miss Aida has appeared on Warner Brothers/Discovery Plus Network, The Travel Channel, HBO MAX, Court TV (as an expert metaphysical practitioner), and independent hit films such as “A Haunting On Adams Street”. She has also been a guest on numerous radio shows.
