“Hello, my friends!” A greeter standing at the entrance to Young at Art Museum’s new exhibit, “Welcome to You & Me,” offers a smile and a few rules: No shoes allowed. (They might damage the plush carpeting.) Not too many kids inside at a time. And, no, she can’t tell…

For far too long, Miami’s mystical community, with its roots in Santería and voodoo, has been overshadowed by The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or the crystal shops of the Northeast offering discounts on psychic readings in October.
