Throughout the book Bless Me Ultima, religion remained one of the major themes. The thing that intrigued me most about this book was the internal struggle Antonio dealt with in regards to the two different religions. His struggle with the two different beliefs and religions brought about a question in my mind. Can a person, such as Ultima, have the spirit of a witch and the soul of a Christian?
Pins in the shape of a cross fell down when Ultima walked by. She had the ability to heal people and undo evil curses. She understood the Earth and knew all of the mysteries of the llano. Her owl attacked an evildoer, and once the owl was killed, she died immediately after. Yet she went to church and understood the importance of religion and Catholicism. Ultima was very old when she came to live with Antonio’s family because she could not live on her own any longer. Ultima is a very mysterious person. She has a great respect for the Earth, believes in the llano, and has alternative ways of curing people.

Below are additional random excerpts from the paper...
Many unexplained mysteries of Ultima are shown in this novel to prove that part of her has the spirit of a witch. The first one in the book was when Tenorio came with the town’s people to the llano to kill Ultima. Ultima had put a curse on his daughters who where true witches that had previously put a curse on Antonio’s Uncle. When the town’s people arrived they decided to put two pins in the shape of a cross over the doorway. The believed that if Ultima could pass through the door unharmed, it was proof that she wasn’t a witch. When she passed through the door, she walked through perfectly unharmed, or so it seemed. The people accepted this as a true test. However, after all of the men and Tenorio left, Antonio found the pins on the ground. I believe that this is proof that part of her was a witch as evident by the fallen pins. I believe that sometimes people can us their mind to move or alter things when they focus on the task. Ultima could have had the time to do this when they made the suggestion to use the pins. A few other instances involving Ultima’s owl led me to believe she was part witch. The second reason I believe she has the spirit of the witch is because she is so in tune with
