"Elhoim Leafar's intention to teach magic from an often-overlooked perspective is made clear, and he delivers on that promise. Full of rituals, folklore, and simple spells, the essence of South American magic is infused into these pages as only a person indigenous to the practice can do. With several contributing spellcasters from walks of life well outside the typical colonizer regime, Leafar has authored a magical gem that many practitioners, myself included, can learn and grow from."

Judy Ann Nock, author of the Modern Witchcraft Book of Crystal Magick and The Modern Witchcraft Guide to Magickal Herbs

"Dreams have guided humanity in the most mysterious ways throughout time. Everyone has them. Everyone navigates them. But they remain mysterious valleys of our inner worlds that few know how to navigate. Even fewer know how to work them into our everyday lives. Here, Elhoim makes those pathways, gifting the reader with both historical wisdom and practical knowledge for working one's dreams, and bringing those nighttime worlds into deeper clarity."
