Books like A War of Witches by T. J. Knab


Following an overheard plot to remove an unwanted son‑in‑law, Timothy Knab, an American anthropologist, ventures into the heart of Aztec culture. Guided by two local curanderos, he engages in sacred rituals and dream‑journeys into Talocan, the Aztec underworld. Through this exploration, Knab learns about the Aztec belief system, the art of healing, and the dark history of San Martín, a city famed for its brujos or witches and a mysterious "War of Witches" that may have lingered for half a century. Knab’s account captures the living traditions of contemporary Aztec society and records his profound transformation into an authentic curandero.
