“People who are queer have always been more spiritually connected.”
“Because people in the LGBTQ+ community live life on a spectrum already, it makes them more inclined to be tapped into spirituality,” she says. “But this doesn’t mean that straight people can’t.”
“People in the LGBTQ+ have come to learn to use their intuition when it comes to safety,” she says. As a bi-sexual woman, who identified as lesbian in high school, Ortiz says she had to use her intuition more than the straight kids in her school in order to navigate certain dangers that came from her sexuality.
She first explored witchcraft in the midst of her depression and, while only around six years into the practice, feels that her intuition has always led her through life and was passed down to her through her great grandmother and Mexican lineage. Ruelas is a big fan of “magic hitting the masses,” and uses social media to encourage others to tap into their power. “It’s really hard now to meet a Latina isn't slightly tapped into her ancestral power,” she says. “Latin America is one of the most magical places on earth, and all of our ancestors used to do this.”
A featured face on Buzzfeed, with his own mini online series called “Struggles Of” on Buzzfeed’s Latinx channel called Pero Like and a large personal Youtube following, Velasquez represents the queer Latinx community by being unapologetically himself.
