Magic is omnipresent in our world, but many people who practice don't call it \"magic.\" Thanks to stigmatization, disavowal, and punishment for magical work, as well as christo-colonialism, many non-Wiccan or Pagan practices have gone unseen in the contemporary occult community. Crossed Crow Books' first-ever anthology, The Crow's Collection of World Magic, collects ten essays by writers and practitioners around the world about their magical practices, histories, and communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology sheds light on lively, underrepresented traditions and embraces the diversity of the magical world. Explore Kenneth Johnson's initiation into Indigenous Mayan traditions, study Finnish runes with the tietӓjӓ and Aili Marjatta Kerttula, and learn how cabildo communities in Afro-Diasporic Cuba drew Lukumí from Yoruban practice with Oracle Hekataios. Enrich your understanding of the magical world around us through the land, history, and practitioners who have come from all walks of life before us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors and topics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKenneth Johnson: \u003c\/b\u003e experiences in indigenous Mayan community, initiation into priesthood, and fire ritual.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNicholaj de Mattos Frisvold: \u003c\/b\u003e An overview of Macumba.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOracle Hekataios: \u003c\/b\u003eHistory of and personal experiences with Lukumi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAili Marjatta Kerttula: \u003c\/b\u003e Finnish magic with a focus on history, saunas, and house spirits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRain Al-Alim: \u003c\/b\u003eTranslation of Kitāb al-Aḥjār, a piece of astrology-heavy Islamic writing on using talismans in magical stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKaterina Sarpione: \u003c\/b\u003e Balkan magic, with a focus on Bulgarian, including folklore, roles of healer and magician, and ways to apply to contemporary practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrankie Castanea: \u003c\/b\u003eDual faith practice in Italian-American folk magic and folk Catholicism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLaura Davila: \u003c\/b\u003eAn overview of Brujeria Mexicana.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrandon Weston: \u003c\/b\u003e Spirits, fairies, and the otherworld in Ozark folk magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eP.
