Book Description
"Mexican witchcraft, or brujeria, has long been an integral part of traditional Mexican culture that permeates all strata of social hierarchy, ethnicity, or level of education. 'Brujeria de Rancho,' better known as Hechicería or 'Mexican Sorcery,' was (and still is) a term used to refer to brujeria as it is practiced in the rural areas of Mexico. The tradition includes a component of folk Catholicism that will be accessible to Pagans, non-Catholics, and practitioners of Hoodoo and Conjure. Topics included in the book are spell work, cleansings (limpias), herbs, the Days of the Dead, how to protect against the Evil Eye, and how to break and avert hexes and curses"--

Blood of Brujeria
Author: Eric J Labrado
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT Mexican brujería (witchcraft) is generally assumed to be just the folk magical practices of Mexico and its borders. But, the magic, spells, and rituals of Mexican brujería are very much a system of their own. It is deeper, darker, and rooted in the teachings of the Mexican ancestors. In the pre-hispanic societies, brujería was revered, and those who had the gifts to perform it were much respected, as well as feared. This book explores the basic concepts of Mexican brujería by clearly presenting it as its own distinctive branch of magic. Brujería isn't just cursing and hurting people without reason; it's a powerful means for defense and the fight for fairness in the face of injustice. A knife is a tool commonly used to prepare food; it has no intention of its own. It can also be employed for violence. The one who holds the tool decides its purpose. The spells and trabajos (spiritual workings) within this book are placed in the reader's hands to use as they decide. We hope that this book can serve the community as a working guide that will lay bare and rectify common misconceptions and misunderstandings. In our first book, Magia Magia: Invoking Mexican Magic, we explored the magical folk practices of our ancestors and their current iterations. Traditional Mexican brujería and its practices warrant their own conversation. In this book we explore brujería, not from an outsider or academic perspective, but through first-hand spiritual accounts. Blood of Brujería tells the stories we were told, and the magical lessons we were taught. This is the brujería we grew up with. This is the brujería we were warned to stay away from. This is the brujería of our blood. Tienes la llave, abre la puerta. You have the key, unlock the door.

American Brujeria
Author: J. Allen Cross
Publisher: Weiser Books
ISBN: 1633412237
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A practical, hands-on guide to Mexican-American folk magic. American Brujeria is about the fascinating blend of American and Mexican folk magic currently practiced by those living in the US but whose roots are steeped in Mexican culture. The author, who has named this tradition “American brujeria,” explores this magical system, while also offering practical advice on using it. American brujeria is a living, vital tradition that -- while it shares things in common with other folk magic traditions, such as American Conjure—also features its own unique traditions, as well as familiar ones, such as the veneration of saints, both canonized, such as Guadalupe, and folk saints like Santa Muerte. American Brujeria includes stories from Mexico (folk saints, the story of Guadalupe), 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, crafting protective charms from saints’ medals, and more.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
A pile of puzzling objects suddenly appears on Isabella’s porch step. As more of the same piles clutter her lawn each passing day, Isabella’s health deteriorates, arousing her best friend Bonnie to suspect brujeria in a sinister plan to destroy Isabella. Dr. Zuniga, a renowned anthropologist, confirms Bonnie’s suspicions after seeing the evidence in Polaroids taken by Isabella and advises her that only an experienced curandero or priest can break these powerful spells. When Isabella turns to Father Andrew for help, she is unaware he carries a dark secret that traces his family lineage back to Eve and the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, a link tying him to the 13 ruling families of the powerful elite. To deliver Isabella from the forces of evil, Father Andrew must travel back in time to confront deeply embedded memories of unspeakable crimes against humanity. To save a life, the perilous path into the past may cost him his own life. In a region of the country where palm trees, the gulf breeze, piñata fiestas, and Tejano music pervade the heart of deep South Texas, old family traditions, along with a tequila blend of Hispanic and American values, invariably clash against witchcraft rituals and satanic sacrifices.
