Occult Books American Brujeria: Modern Mexican American Folk Magic Witchcraft

American Brujeria is a fascinating deep dive into the blend of American and Mexican folk magic.  Called “American brujeria” by author J Allen Cross, this practice is currently used by those in the US but whose roots are firmly steeped in Mexican culture. 

You will find both unique and familiar saints and spirits in American Brujeria, which also includes stories from Mexico (folk saints, the story of Guadalupe), the influence of Catholicism, the art of limpias (traditional folk healing methods), spell casting, oil crafting, praying the rosary (in English and Spanish), making an altar to Guadalupe, using novena candle magic, making protective charms from saints’ medals, and more. There’s even a whole section on creative uses for Vicks VapoRub, a staple in Mexican-American folk healing. American brujeria is extremely close to conjure traditions of the American South and in fact shares a lot of crossover, demonstrating how these traditions have influenced one another.
