About this product: Mexican Magic: Brujeria, Spells, Rituals for All Occasions by Laura Davila English/Inglés This dicho (saying) refers to the Mexican belief that good luck is a matter of fate—something you are born with or not. Mexicans traditionally 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. Some people are born with a natural gift for magic, but many others are compelled toward magic by life experience. 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. “Laura Davila is a treasure in the Mexican magic community, bringing the powerful spells and spirits of our ancestors to a whole new generation of workers. With every word, she preserves important culture and guides us deeper as we receive the answers to ancient questions and begin to understand ourselves and those who came before in a way we never could have imagined.”—J. Allen Cross, author of American Brujeria“Laura Davila throws open the doors to her practice and the traditions of Mexican folk magic in a way not seen to English-speaking readers before. Her tour of traditional spells, workings, and spirits is incredibly thorough. . . . Davila does a magnificent job here, and maintains her conversational, sometimes salty tone to fill this book with as much knowledge and enchantment as she can. You learn everything from candle spells and prayers to how to use a tortilla press in magical work, and even a spiritually charged recipe for the holiday drink rompope as she extends the holiday calendar to the Navidad season. This is a book not to miss if you have any interest in the magical traditions of Mexico or North America more broadly.”—Cory Hutcheson, author of New World Witchery: A Trove of North American Folk Magic Show more
