About the author
Lou Florez is the author of The Modern Art of Brujería: A Beginner's Guide to Spellcraft, Medicine Making, and Other Traditions of the Global South, published by Ulysses Press and also released in Spanish as El Arte Moderno de la Brujería by Obelisco. The book presents brujería as a living, modern practice rather than an inherited or nostalgic one, introducing readers to spellcraft, ancestor communication and spiritual cleansing while situating these practices within wider magical traditions of the Global South. It is aimed explicitly at newcomers, offering an entry point into traditions the book distinguishes from generalized witchcraft content. Florez writes from within the culture and traditions described rather than as an outside observer, and the book's dual-language publication points to an audience spanning both English- and Spanish-language readers interested in contemporary, culturally rooted approaches to folk magic and brujería.
