Bless Me, Ultima transports readers to another world, where the adventurous spirit and gusty winds of the llano meets the fertility and prosperity of the valley of El Puerto. Rudolfo Anaya explored the subconscious in his novel, a world below the surface of experience, containing his culture's diverse shared images, symbols, and dreams. In the story, Antonio's uncle Lucas is cursed by Trementina witches, who are observing Black Mass, learns about the "golden carp," dwelling in the river nearby his village, provoking the existence of pagan gods on the Earth's surface. In addition, Ultima has an otherworldly personality, possessing an appreciation for multiple faiths, an owl that represents her spirit, and practices brujería, or witchcraft, raising questions about good, evil, and truth.
