Book excerpt: "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.

The tradition includes a component of folk Catholicism that will be accessible to Pagans, non-Catholics, and practitioners of Hoodoo and Conjure.

Book excerpt: Spell work, spiritual cleansing, herbal magic, how to protect against the Evil Eye, and cast, break, and avert hexes and curses. 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” refers to brujeria as it is practiced in the rural areas of Mexico. There, the brujos de Ranch offer their healing and divinatory powers, acting as advisors, and even meting out justice through the use of cursing and hexing for people who are often not able to pay lawyers’ fees. Davila, a practicing bruja de Rancho and for whom this is a multi-generational family tradition brings this tradition to light in this comprehensive guide to Brujeria and Hechiceria (sorcery), presenting the beliefs and practices to today’s readers. 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, talismans, how to protect against the Evil Eye, and also how to cast, break, and avert hexes and curses.

Book excerpt: "This book focuses on the blend of American and Mexican folk magic currently being used by those living in the US but whose roots are in the Mexican culture. This type of Mexican-American folk magic contains its own unique saints and spirits, as well as the more familiar, such as the infamous Santa Muerte.

Book Synopsis Magia Magia by : Alexis A Arredondo and Eric J Labrado
Download or read book Magia Magia written by Alexis A Arredondo and Eric J Labrado and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Mexico, the witchcraft and spell casting of the borderland people is diverse, colorful, and deeply-rooted in its history. With origins from the early Mexican natives and influence from the European colonizers, the magic of Mexico is truly unique. As traditions continue to blend and transform into new identities, the power of hechicería (spell-casting) continues to grow today with influences rooted in Asia, Romani culture, the Caribbean, and more.The purpose of this book is not to explain the history of the magic from Mexico, but present you with the spells and formula to begin your practice. This powerful but practical magia (magic) is filled with alma y corazón (heart and soul) and lays a strong foundation for this introductory book. Many of the hechizos (spells) presented here are time-tested methods and were developed to help you manifest protection, love, luck, and aid in spiritual cleansing. To advance your spell work and magic, several unique divination methods are included to help you communicate with the ancestors and guide you along your path. We also want to be transparent in stating that most of the magia contained within these pages may have origins from Mexico, but is mostly derived from the Texas-Mexican border where we grew up, and may differ greatly from the magic of interior or Central Mexico.As the Curandera (folk healer) Maria Sabina of Oaxaca once said, "There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby and invisible." From El Paso to Brownsville and along the Rio Grande, this folk magic thrives hidden under the guise of Catholic Saints and ancestral shrines. We are proud to present and preserve the ancestral knowledge that flourishes as our fam-ilies and culture continue to do so. Now, you can learn the ways as they were taught to us by our elders.
Book Synopsis Sorcery in Mesoamerica by : Jeremy D. Coltman
Download or read book Sorcery in Mesoamerica written by Jeremy D. Coltman and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaching sorcery as highly rational and rooted in significant social and cultural values, Sorcery in Mesoamerica examines and reconstructs the original indigenous logic behind it, analyzing manifestations from the Classic Maya to the ethnographic present. While the topic of sorcery and witchcraft in anthropology is well developed in other areas of the world, it has received little academic attention in Mexico and Central America until now. In each chapter, preeminent scholars of ritual and belief ask very different questions about what exactly sorcery is in Mesoamerica. Contributors consider linguistic and visual aspects of sorcery and witchcraft, such as the terminology in Aztec semantics and dictionaries of the Kaqchiquel and K’iche’ Maya. Others explore the practice of sorcery and witchcraft, including the incorporation by indigenous sorcerers in the Mexican highlands of European perspectives and practices into their belief system. Contributors also examine specific deities, entities, and phenomena, such as the pantheistic Nahua spirit entities called forth to assist healers and rain makers, the categorization of Classic Maya Wahy (“co-essence”) beings, the cult of the Aztec goddess Cihuacoatl, and the recurring relationship between female genitalia and the magical conjuring of a centipede throughout Mesoamerica. Placing the Mesoamerican people in a human context—as engaged in a rational and logical system of behavior—Sorcery inMesoamerica is the first comprehensive study of the subject and an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Mesoamerican culture and religion.

Download or read book Mexican Magic written by Laura Davila and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2024-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican Magic offers an overview of magic and spells from all across Mexico for daily use. Algunos nacen con estrella y otros estrellados. This dicho (saying) roughly translates to "Some are born with a star, while others are born starry." It refers to the Mexican belief that good luck is a matter of fate, something you are born with or not. Mexicans attribute their good or bad luck to a greater force, to God's will, even to the stars in the sky. Being born with a star is a blessing. While some gain their luck through fate, Laura Davila believes even more in faith, virtue, and purpose. While there are some people who are born with a natural gift for magic, there are many others for whom life itself pushed them toward using magic. The best brujos and magical people are not those who necessarily started off in perfect circumstances but those who looked at magic as a skill to be mastered. Mexican Magic shares this knowledge and offers an overview of magic from across Mexico. Spells are the focus of Mexican Magic. The book features magical recipes, spells, tips, and advice for a wide variety of intentions, including love, lust, sex, good luck, money, protection, commerce, gambling, justice, pregnancy, travel, education, and more. Although the spells may be practiced by anyone, their flavor is Mexican, as they are deeply rooted in Mexican folk beliefs and magic. Davila also shares direction on how to be a magical person and live a magical life, with examples given from some influential Mexican historical and spiritual figures.

Download or read book Brujas written by Lorraine Monteagut and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brujas, Witches of Color are ancestral magical beings and the world we live in has tried to silence our voices. . . . This book is such a beautiful tribute to the different stories and experiences we go through as brujas. . . . Amplify the voice of Witches of Color by reading their stories." —Juliet Diaz, author of Witchery and Plant Witchery There is a new kind of witch emerging in our cultural consciousness: the bruja. Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of BIPOC witches, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, is reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft of today. Brujas chronicles the magical lives of these practitioners as they develop their healing arts, express their progressive politics, and extend their personal rituals into community activism. They are destigmatizing the "witch" of their ancestries and bringing persecuted traditions to the open to challenge cultural appropriation and spiritual consumerism. Part memoir, part ritual guide, Brujas empowers readers to decolonize their spiritual practices and connect with their own ancestors. Brujas reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend—it's a movement.
