Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) unpack Paulo Coelho’s Brida, a spiritual coming-of-age novel that blends witchcraft, love, and the search for destiny. We trace Coelho’s remarkable journey—from rebellious lyricist and political prisoner to world-renowned author of The Alchemist—and how his fascination with faith, mysticism, and personal legend shaped Brida’s twin paths of the Sun (reason, discipline) and Moon (intuition, ritual). We explore the novel’s central relationships—Brida, Magus, Wicca, and Lorens—and what they reveal about soulmates, free will, and spiritual growth. Along the way, we discuss memorable quotes, recurring symbols, and whether Brida’s ultimate choice reflects courage or denial.
