Mexican Sorcery

A Practical Guide to Brujeria de Rancho

By: Laura Davila

Narrated by: Cynthia Farrell

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 listeners. 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.

Great book

Loved every minute of this book ! I feel this spoke to my roots and was just what I was looking for

An indepth look

An excellent look into the practice of brujeria de rancho and how it all works.

Very detailed and specific!

This book helped me understand my Mexican ancestry and it’s ties to sorcery. This is a great book to have on hand.

History behind brujeria…

I will definitely be going back for history reference on certain matters, regularly. I am a beginner, beginner, if that makes sense, to brujeria. I am so green when it comes to any kind of magic, but this book was such a great introduction for me. I am going to be buying Laura’s next book for sure!
