Achterflaptekst:

In recent years, a fascinating blend of folk magic grounded in Mexican culture has taken root in America. Practiced by Mexican Americans and dubbed “American Brujeria” by J. Allen Cross, a practicing witch of Mexican descent, this living, vital tradition features commonalities with other folk magic traditions in America, such as Conjure. American Brujeria is a practical, hands-on guide to this exciting magical tradition. The book includes the following:

• Stories and folklore on the lives of Mexican saints and folk figures
• How to practice the art of limpias, or spiritual cleansings
• Instructions and insights on spell casting, oil crafting, rosary magic, creating an altar for Guadalupe, novena candle magic, the magical uses of saints’ medals, and so much more

J. Allen Cross is a practicing witch of Mexican, Native American, and European descent, whose craft was shaped by his Catholic upbringing and mixed family culture, Living in his home state of Oregon, he works as a psychic medium and occult specialist for a well-known paranormal investigation team out of the Portland metro area. When he’s not investigating, he enjoys providing spells and potions to his local community, exploring haunted and abandoned places, consulting for other workers and investigators, and, of course, writing about witchcraft and folk magic. 

 "J. Allen Cross has done an extraordinary job of providing us with a book filled with rich invaluable information about our culture and magical traditions. He has done a superb job of sharing this information with genuine heartfelt authenticity, love, and respect, which makes it an absolutely delightful read! Gracias!” — Erika Buenaflor, MA, JD, author of Cleansing Rites of Curanderismo.

“In American Brujeria, J, Allen Cross finds a way to explore the heritage and practices of Mexican folk and spiritual traditions by building on their foundations and making them approachable to American (and beyond) audiences searching for the magia (magic) and - wisdom of their own culture. We need more authors of color like Cross to illuminate these rich and time-honored practices.” — Alexis A. Arredondo and Eric J. Labrado of City Alchemist, authors of Magia Magia: Invoking Mexican Magic.
