Rev. Payshence-Sancista Brujo Luis

Rev. Payshence- Sancista Brujo Luis is a first generation American, born from Puerto Rican parents. He was born in Northern Massachusetts where he still resides with his two daughters, granddaughters and his two dogs. Sancista Luis was born with a thin membrane over his face which his Grandmother proclaimed would give him the gift of sight, although his eyes never fully developed within the womb and doctors told his mother he would probably be completely blind by the age of 3; this never came to pass but his poor physical eye sight, aided the young Luis in developing his senses at a very young age. A clairvoyant seer and Medium Channeler, as a child he would travel every summer to Puerto Rico with his parents where he learned to develop his Spiritual gifts with his Grandmother Juana and other mediums in an old shack that was used for Spiritual Veladas, Misas and Sesiones. As a teenager his interests in Neo Paganism soon led him to the Afro Cuban Lukumi religion, where he recvieved his Collares and Warriors. In his late 20s he meet the late Puerto Rican Medium and Sancista Hector Luis Rodriguez who would become his Godfather in Sanse. A few years after that, he traveled to Bani, Dominican Republic where he received his baptism and Aplazamiento within the Dominican 21 Division tradition. He later traveled to Venezuela and Colombia in his spiritual quest for all things related to Espiritismo and it was in Venezuela where he fell in love with the Tradition of Maria Lionza. Today Sancista Luis holds spiritual reunions at his home, and does Spiritual Consultations at a local Haitian Botanica in Everett Massachusetts. He also conducts Misas with elder Cuban Babalocha Esteban Quintana. He is the author of Luz y Progresso Light and Progress; A Handbook for the Developing Mediums within the Puerto Rican Espiritismo Criollo Mesa Blanca System and translated Manbo Paula Wedo's Vodou Manual, Ayibobo; Gracias la Misericordia into Spanish.
