De la Magia al Derecho y de regreso a la Magia:

la insurgencia de lo sagrado femenino salvaje como reencantamiento de los movimientos de mujeres

Abstract

We propose a symbolic genealogy of law, arguing that the legal phenomenon is the heir to the enchanted word (magic) and the sacred verb (religion), rather than merely a product of modern rationality. The study traces a trajectory from magic to religion and, ultimately, to law, grounded in the sociology and anthropology of religion. We argue that social movements (organized around legal demands) claim rationality and secularism, but reenact magical and religious dynamics through their rites, slogans, and liturgies. Specifically regarding women's and feminist movements, this religiosity resurfaces in the reappropriation of the feminine sacred. We conclude that the "return of the Goddess" symbolizes the re-enchantment of the world and that new spiritualities and the politics of the feminine are expressions of a mystical and affective juridicity, where the norm (nomos) and the sacred (numen) are reconnected.
