One of the most magical and spectacular rituals of Galician culture and originating from the Celts, is the exorcism of evil spirits by means of the Conxuro da Queimada (Queimada Conjuration). This exorcism materializes in the tradition of the “Queimada”, a magical drink of fire, eau-de-vie, sugar, lemon and some grains of coffee, the preparation of which, in combination with the magical ritual of our warlock, becomes a succulent magic potion which as it goes down our throats frees us of all evil and all bewitchment.
