Witch of Évora

Black Magic & White Magic

Witch of Évora or also known as Moura Torta, is one of the most notorious figures and surrounded by mystery in the field of magic.
It is difficult to pinpoint the period in which the Witch of Évora lived. Historical records show that this powerful witch lived in Portugal, during the time of Dom Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal, who was born in 1109 in Coimbra and died in 1185 in Galicia. “She was the town witch, who carried an owl on her back and played the harp on cold winter nights.
The Arab witch was called Moura Torta, a name that made the Portuguese shiver, making the sign of the cross; and as a Moor and a witch he went down in history. For many, it holds powerful secrets and spells from the East.
