About the author
Laura Davila is the author of Mexican Magic: Brujeria, Spells, and Rituals for All Occasions and Mexican Sorcery: A Practical Guide to Brujeria de Rancho, both published by Weiser Books. The books present spells, recipes, and rituals drawn from Mexican folk magic and brujeria traditions, covering practices such as spiritual cleansing, herbal magic, and protection against the Evil Eye, alongside methods for casting, breaking, and averting hexes and curses. Mexican Magic frames its material around traditional dichos, or sayings, that carry beliefs about luck and fate within Mexican culture. Together the two books are written as practical guides for readers wanting to learn brujeria de rancho as a living folk tradition, aimed at those already interested in Latin American folk magic rather than readers seeking a historical or comparative survey.
