Fuego angelical: Magia, leyendas y tradiciones (Spanish Edition)
Actually written by Dona Carolina da Silva's  granddaughter,  Carolina da Silva, these two books answer questions surrounding  the guidance of angels and the healing powers of plants and  fruits. A professor of Spanish literature in Colorado and a  Wicca practitioner, Carolina has searched for her Latina and  indigenous roots. Her late grandmother, La Dona, was once an  herbalist and healer who lived in New Mexico and communicated  with nature and the animals. These books are part of an ongoing  series in which Carolina relates the mysteries of the occult as  learned from this gifted healer. Deeply informative and laced  with humor, their interactions and dialogs often occur by  arroyos (streams) or on mountaintops. These conversations result  in recipes and rituals, invocations and offerings, secrets and  traditions from diverse belief systems, all grounded in science  and history. These mini-encyclopedias can be treated as manuals  or simply enjoyed. As the author warns, "You are not authorized  to discuss what you've learned from your guardian angel or else  the magic disappears." Recommended to public libraries and  bookstores.
