Read more Real traditional Brujera is a very secretive tradition accessible to very few people. (When written correctly in Spanish, as opposed to Spanglish, Brujera 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 Brujera, 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.

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. Read more Read more
