Achterflaptekst:

Explore the mysteries and magic of Mexican sorcery in this hands-on, practical guide to traditional Mexican witchcraft. Brujeria de Rancho, better known as Hechicería or Mexican sorcery, refers to brujeria as it is practiced in the rural areas of Mexico. There, the Hechiceras offer their healing and divinatory expertise, acting as advisors, and even meting out justice through the use of cursing and hexing for those who may not be able to pay lawyers’ fees. Davila brings this tradition to light, exploring its history and influences, but also detailing practices accessible to today’s readers. 

Within these pages, you will find spell work, hexes, saint magic, and more. Davila shows you what’s in the bruja’s kitchen and explores the tools and symbols of her ancestral tradition. Mexican Sorcery includes these helpful techniques: 

• Create amulets and talismans 
• Break and avert hexes and curses
• Protect against the Evil Eye 
• Prepare powerful cleansings (limpias)

Along with her diverse magical recipes, she brilliantly interweaves tales, stories, and Mexican folklore. I loved this book!” - Erika Buenaflor, MA, JD, author of Cleansing Rites of Curanderismo. 

“Laura Davila presents the authentic magic of our cultura in an authentic way approachable to both experienced workers of Mexican magic as well as non-Latinx folks wanting a better understanding of how we do things in the ranchos.” - Tomés Prower, author of La Santa Muerte.
