Sinopsis
Real traditional Brujería is a very secretive
tradition accessible to very few people.
(When written correctly in Spanish, as opposed to
Spanglish, Brujería has an acute accent over the
i. You must be mentored by a real brujo/a, and
it is not a type of magic that you handle
lightly. When you ask Mexican American folks
what Mexican folk magic is called, they will
often refer to it as Brujería, again, sometimes
as a joke, but its what we continue to call it
nonetheless. While this is traditionally
inaccurate, there is a large tendency for folks
to diverge from tradition after immigrationmuch
like how you have Voodoo, Haitian Vodou, Puerto
Rican Voodoo (Sanse), and New Orleans Voodoo.
Still, it would be damaging to my culture to
write a book that is not actually about real
traditional Brujería. I wanted to help preserve
the meaning of Brujería and I wanted to
differentiate between the traditional kind and
what we call Brujeria here in America. Thus, I
coined the term American Brujeria to describe
this unique path. Scissors to Ward off Nightmares
The most common use for scissors is to ward off
nightmares. Everyone has their own way of doing
it, but the idea is that an open pair of
scissors is placed somewhere around the person
while they sleep. Some place the open scissors
under the pillow, others place them under the
bed. Some place them on the bedside table, and
others tack them to the wall above the bed. I
dont recommend that last onethey might fall on
you during the night. Some also say that the
open scissors should be placed on top of an open
Bible that is under the bed. Red Ribbon
4
for Hands/Wrists Before doing healing work with
the hands or handling objects that may contain
bad energies, its common to wrap red ribbon
around the hands or wrists to block the evil
from entering through them or coming up the arms
into the body. This way, curanderos and other
spiritual workers may handle the energies of
sickness and other negative things while staying
protected. Wearing red ribbon around the wrist
also protects against Ojo and other forms of
spiritual attack. Vicks VapoRub to Cleanse a Home
In my years serving as resident demon wrangler
for my paranormal investigation team, I have had
to get rather creative on more than one occasion
when supplies were low. This is when I turn to
the ancestors they knew that sometimes all you
have is Vicks VapoRub and the Lord. Camphor and
eucalyptus, two of the main ingredients in Vicks,
carry a powerful vibration that banishes evil
and calls in angelic entities and beings of
light. In a pinch, you can use Vicks to assist
with cleansing and protecting a home from
negative entities.
