⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. A keeper.
Florez delivers a vital, empowering guide that successfully demystifies brujería for contemporary practitioners without diluting its cultural depth. The text excels in providing accessible frameworks for spellcraft and medicine making, celebrating resilience over exoticism. However, this book does not suit readers looking for rigid, dogmatic adherence to traditional hierarchies or those seeking purely academic, historical analysis rather than practical application. It may also disappoint those who prefer older, more obscure occult texts, as the tone is intentionally modern and welcoming. Ultimately, it is a strong recommendation for beginners eager to engage with Global South traditions respectfully.
