A great beginner's guide to Latinx folk witchcraft.

This has been on my backlog since college. I bought it for an English course I took and we never got around to actually reading the book in the semester and I've held on to it all that time. I believe the reason our professor had assigned it to us was due to the attention to detail and the research into whaling.

Y'all I think Melville did a lot of research before writing this book. Just a bit.

A nice lengthy read of Southern/Appalachia magic. I expected it to break apart at times for recipes and workings but most of those were put at the back, which was a perfect way to read them. I know it's a well respected book in the witchcraft community, and I  see why. The care and love the author has for his community and background is evident in the writing, not common in the rushed trendy books coming out these days. This is a real handbook of a particular sect of magic, the real thing.

I figured there'd be more to it than just citing study after study.

Not as good as Yellowface but funny, still
