Marketing - Telecom(munications)
Spanish term or phrase: brujos
From a brochure from a mobile phone service provider from Spain. Among the services that an operator could consider for "Chat with an operator" services would be "brujos". I don't think it can mean, witches, warlocks, sorcerers - can it? What fits into this list?

"Esta modalidad está desarrollada para consultas especializadas, asistencia técnica, asesorias personalizadas, brujos, tarot, etc."

Many thanks. Thanks for the interesting info about "witches, warlocks, etc" too, but I think "fortune-tellers" is a culturally correct answer, i.e. one that will mean something to an English reader

I agree with Patricia, she's right, but this is my guess as to what service you get by clicking on that 'brujos' option. It's the 'astrology', 'the stars' section.
