Download or read book Mexican Magic written by Laura Davila and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2024-11-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican Magic offers an overview of magic and spells from all across Mexico for daily use. Algunos nacen con estrella y otros estrellados. This dicho (saying) roughly translates to "Some are born with a star, while others are born starry." It refers to the Mexican belief that good luck is a matter of fate, something you are born with or not. Mexicans 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. While there are some people who are born with a natural gift for magic, there are many others for whom life itself pushed them toward using magic. 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. Mexican Magic shares this knowledge and offers an overview of magic from across Mexico. Spells are the focus of Mexican Magic. The book features magical recipes, spells, tips, and advice for a wide variety of intentions, including love, lust, sex, good luck, money, protection, commerce, gambling, justice, pregnancy, travel, education, and more. Although the spells may be practiced by anyone, their flavor is Mexican, as they are deeply rooted in Mexican folk beliefs and magic. Davila also shares direction on how to be a magical person and live a magical life, with examples given from some influential Mexican historical and spiritual figures.
Download or read book Blood of Brujeria written by Eric J Labrado and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-07-17 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT Mexican brujería (witchcraft) is generally assumed to be just the folk magical practices of Mexico and its borders. But, the magic, spells, and rituals of Mexican brujería are very much a system of their own. It is deeper, darker, and rooted in the teachings of the Mexican ancestors. In the pre-hispanic societies, brujería was revered, and those who had the gifts to perform it were much respected, as well as feared. This book explores the basic concepts of Mexican brujería by clearly presenting it as its own distinctive branch of magic. Brujería isn't just cursing and hurting people without reason; it's a powerful means for defense and the fight for fairness in the face of injustice. A knife is a tool commonly used to prepare food; it has no intention of its own. It can also be employed for violence. The one who holds the tool decides its purpose. The spells and trabajos (spiritual workings) within this book are placed in the reader's hands to use as they decide. We hope that this book can serve the community as a working guide that will lay bare and rectify common misconceptions and misunderstandings. In our first book, Magia Magia: Invoking Mexican Magic, we explored the magical folk practices of our ancestors and their current iterations. Traditional Mexican brujería and its practices warrant their own conversation. In this book we explore brujería, not from an outsider or academic perspective, but through first-hand spiritual accounts. Blood of Brujería tells the stories we were told, and the magical lessons we were taught. This is the brujería we grew up with. This is the brujería we were warned to stay away from. This is the brujería of our blood. Tienes la llave, abre la puerta. You have the key, unlock the door.

Download or read book American Brujeria written by J. Allen Cross and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical, hands-on guide to Mexican-American folk magic. American Brujeria is about the fascinating blend of American and Mexican folk magic currently practiced by those living in the US but whose roots are steeped in Mexican culture. The author, who has named this tradition “American brujeria,” explores this magical system, while also offering practical advice on using it. American brujeria is a living, vital tradition that -- while it shares things in common with other folk magic traditions, such as American Conjure—also features its own unique traditions, as well as familiar ones, such as the veneration of saints, both canonized, such as Guadalupe, and folk saints like Santa Muerte. American Brujeria includes stories from Mexico (folk saints, the story of Guadalupe), the influence of Catholicism, the art of limpias (spiritual cleansings), spell casting, oil crafting, praying the rosary (in English and Spanish), making an altar to Guadalupe, using novena candle magic, crafting protective charms from saints’ medals, and more.

Download or read book Rituals and Spells of Santer a written by Migene González-Wippler and published by . This book was released on 1984-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santeria is an earth religion. That is, it is a magico-religious system that has its roots in nature and natural forces. Each orisha or saint is identified with a force of nature and with a human interest or endeavor. Chango, for instance, is the god of fire, thunder and lightning, but he is, also the symbol of justice and protects his followers against enemies. He also symbolizes passion and virility and is often invoked in works of seduction. Oshun, on the other hand, symbolizes river waters, love and marriage. She is essentially the archetype of joy and pleasure. Yemaya is identified with the seven seas, but is also the symbol of Motherhood and protects women in their endeavors. Eleggua symbolizes the crossroads, and is the orisha of change and destiny, the one who makes things possible or impossible. He symbolizes the balance things. Obatala is the father, the symbol of peace and purity. Oya symbolizes the winds and is the owner of the cemetery, the watcher of the doorway between life and death. She is not death, but the awareness of its existence. Oggun is the patron of all metals, and protects farmers, carpenters, butchers, surgeons, mechanics, and all who work with or near metals. He also rules over accidents, which he often causes.

Download or read book Magia Magia written by Alexis A Arredondo and Eric J Labrado and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Mexico, the witchcraft and spell casting of the borderland people is diverse, colorful, and deeply-rooted in its history. With origins from the early Mexican natives and influence from the European colonizers, the magic of Mexico is truly unique. As traditions continue to blend and transform into new identities, the power of hechicería (spell-casting) continues to grow today with influences rooted in Asia, Romani culture, the Caribbean, and more.The purpose of this book is not to explain the history of the magic from Mexico, but present you with the spells and formula to begin your practice. This powerful but practical magia (magic) is filled with alma y corazón (heart and soul) and lays a strong foundation for this introductory book. Many of the hechizos (spells) presented here are time-tested methods and were developed to help you manifest protection, love, luck, and aid in spiritual cleansing. To advance your spell work and magic, several unique divination methods are included to help you communicate with the ancestors and guide you along your path. We also want to be transparent in stating that most of the magia contained within these pages may have origins from Mexico, but is mostly derived from the Texas-Mexican border where we grew up, and may differ greatly from the magic of interior or Central Mexico.As the Curandera (folk healer) Maria Sabina of Oaxaca once said, "There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby and invisible." From El Paso to Brownsville and along the Rio Grande, this folk magic thrives hidden under the guise of Catholic Saints and ancestral shrines. We are proud to present and preserve the ancestral knowledge that flourishes as our fam-ilies and culture continue to do so. Now, you can learn the ways as they were taught to us by our elders.

Download or read book Black Magic written by Yvonne P. Chireau and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-11-20 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Magic looks at the origins, meaning, and uses of Conjure—the African American tradition of healing and harming that evolved from African, European, and American elements—from the slavery period to well into the twentieth century. Illuminating a world that is dimly understood by both scholars and the general public, Yvonne P. Chireau describes Conjure and other related traditions, such as Hoodoo and Rootworking, in a beautifully written, richly detailed history that presents the voices and experiences of African Americans and shows how magic has informed their culture. Focusing on the relationship between Conjure and Christianity, Chireau shows how these seemingly contradictory traditions have worked together in a complex and complementary fashion to provide spiritual empowerment for African Americans, both slave and free, living in white America. As she explores the role of Conjure for African Americans and looks at the transformations of Conjure over time, Chireau also rewrites the dichotomy between magic and religion. With its groundbreaking analysis of an often misunderstood tradition, this book adds an important perspective to our understanding of the myriad dimensions of human spirituality.
