Miyari (hello), I’m Juliet Diaz
I'm an Indigenous Taino Cubana from a long line of brujx and spiritualists. A Behike (medicine woman and keeper of the Higuayagua Taino tribe).
I'm a human rights, spiritual & literary activist who has the honor of being an award-winning writer and a remarkable seven-time bestselling author.

Helping thousands worldwide heal, spiritually grow, decolonize their practice, amplify their magic, and connect to their truth. I integrate community care through decolonial and liberatory literature and ancestral practices.
My vision is to help us better show up for the world, support those in need, dismantle oppressive systems within us and without, and rebuild a liberated world for all.
I am the publisher at Spirit Bound Press and Little Cauldron. Through my writing and publishing endeavors, I challenge existing narratives and promote the importance of diverse and inclusive books.
My literary contributions embody an array of works, including Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within, Plant Witchery, The Altar Within, Seasons of The Witch Oracle Deck series, Earthcraft Oracle Deck, and the Little Cauldron Academy children's book series (releasing 2025).
