The Living Light of Brujeria
Even though modern faiths have attempted to drive the
Great Mother from her throne, She lives on in the hearts
and souls of Her people—and nowhere with more vitality
than in the form of Guadalupe, Goddess of the brujas.
Magic from Mexico presents the secrets of Brujeria, as
revealed by sixteen real-life Wise Women in Mexico and
America. Within these pages are the beliefs and practices of
a magical and spiritual tradition that traces back to the
very roots of the ancient Aztec culture, and adapts foreign
influences to its own ends. Also, for the first time in publi-
cation, a Book of Shadows as transmitted by real, practic-
ing brujas.
This is a book of wisdom, spells, laughter—and very
serious convictions about human beings and the invisible
world about us. Here is Goddess-centered magic, and a
guide to the celebrations and worship of a belief system
that is both ancient and very modern.About the Author
