Fascinating Book! Enjoyed Every Chapter

This is a very interesting book! I loved hearing how a lot of the Mexican superstitions & traditions started and how they have grown from indigenous roots. I like how the author told of examples and personal stories to explain how and why indigenous people do what they do. For example, in the Love chapter, on a night with a full moon, people will write their crush’s name on a paper 7 times, and sleep with it under the pillow when they go to sleep. That night, they will dream of them and decide if they should pursue them. Another interesting thing is that they do not ever buy their crush shoes because it means they will walk away from them. This book is full of interesting traditions, superstitions and Milagros. I had never known of 90% of these and really enjoyed listening. The narrator does a great job at keeping the listener wanting to hear more. Excellent book!!
