Bruja Curandera: Spells, Rituals & Ancestor Work from a Mexican Healer & Witch

Wendy Mata

Discover la magia (magic) and el espíritu (spirit) of Mexico with an authentic bruja (witch) as your guide.

"At a moment when immigrant lives and histories are being erased, Bruja Curandera is an unapologetically authentic expression of Mexican spirituality. It is a powerful reclamation of spiritual power and magic."
—Ron Padrón, co-editor of Serpents of Circe

Within the beating heart of Mexico is an ancient wisdom that has thrived for generations. Las brujas (witches) and las curanderas (healers) listen to the call of the land to bring healing and spiritual resilience to their comunidades (communities). They also follow the voices of their ancestors to guide their familias (families). Growing up surrounded by this espíritu, author Wendy Mata embraced the magical life and became a bruja curandera.

“...a reclamation of ancestral magic on its own terms, honoring traditions that exist beyond religious syncretism and restoring dignity to practices that have too often been misunderstood or suppressed."
—Rev. Laura González,  Ixtlamatketl of Kalpulli Xinacthli Xochicalli, Priestess of the Goddess, Circle Sanctuary Minister

Tattoo Magick: Drawing on New & Old Ink for Spells & Spiritual Connections

Jake Morningstar

Transform your life, not just your skin, with this book on tattoo magick and how it helps you manifest everything you want. 

Tattoos are cool, meaningful, and even magickal. They already contain multiple elements of spellwork—time, effort, and personal symbolism. This book teaches you how to harness those elements in your practice, leading to stronger, more successful magick.

"A powerful bridge between the culturally tied tattooing of the past and empowering a personal relationship with the magic of marking the flesh in the present."
—Rebecca Beyer, author of Wild Witchcraft

"This well-researched and clearly written book explores the profound layers of tattooing as more than decoration: it is an act of self-expression, a declaration of confidence, a vessel for personal enchantment, and, yes, real magic."
—Amy Zerner & Monte Farber, authors of The Enchanted Tarot
