American Brujeria: Modern Mexican American Folk Magic by J. Allen Cross AUTHOR

A fascinating blend of American and Mexican folk magic with roots steeped in Mexican culture is explored in this magical system and text, and practical advice on using it. A living, vital practice that shares in folk magic traditions and also features its own unique traditions, as well as familiar ones, such as the veneration of saints like Guadalupe, and folk saints like Santa Muerte. Includes stories from Mexico, the influence of Catholicism, the art of limpias (spiritual cleansings), spell casting, oil crafting, praying the rosary (in English and Spanish), making an altar to Guadalupe, using novena candle magic, and crafting protective charms from saints’ medals.
