American Brujeria : modern Mexican-American folk magic / J. Allen Cross
This book focuses on the blend of American and Mexican folk magic currently being used by those living in the US but whose roots are in the Mexican culture. This type of Mexican-American folk magic contains its own unique saints and spirits, as well as the more familiar, such as the infamous Santa Muerte. It is extremely similar to Conjure traditions of the American south and, in fact, shares a lot of crossover, demonstrating how these traditions have influenced one another.
Brujas : the magic and power of witches of color / Lorraine Monteagut
Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of withces, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, are reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft today. Brujas chronicles the magical lives of these practitioners as they develop their healing arts, express their progressive ploitics, and extend their personal rituals into community activism. They are destigmatizing the “witch” of their ancestries and bringing persecuted traditions into the open to challenge cultural appropriation and spirtual consumerism. Part memoir, part ritual guide, Brujas empowers readers to decolonize their spiritual practices and connect with their own ancestors. Brujas reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend– it’s an enduring movement.

Queering your craft : witchcraft from the margins / Cassandra Snow ; foreword by Mat Auryn
Witchcraft has always belonged to the outsiders and outcasts in society, yet so much of the practice enforces and adheres to the same hierarchy we are faced with in the world at large-a hierarchy that isolates and hurts those living beyond society’s binaries and boundaries. Until now there has not been a book that specifically addresses the practice of queer magick from an LGBTQ+ standpoint. This book combines queer aesthetic and culture with Pagan and metaphysical spiritual practice in a way that is commonplace in practice but previously not written about-and covers the personal, the collective, the political, and how deeply intertwined all three are in a magickal practice for those who are LGBTQ+.
