Lil' help with Cuban Spanish?

I am writing a story. In my story, there is a character who is a witch. Or, as my grandmother would say, a 'Bruja'. See, I'm not sure if that's Spanish, Mexican-spanish, or possibly, a Yaquee word. The character is of Cuban descent, and I would like to keep as accurate as possible (for a work of fiction). So, my question is this: what is the Cuban-spanish word for 'Witch'? But, like, the Village Wise Woman, not a wicked witch, as it were. Actually, if I could get both, that'd be sweet!
