Curanderismo: Mexican American Folk Healing by Robert T. Trotter II & Juan Antonio Chavira

“At least six major historical influences have shaped thebeliefs and practices of curanderismo by Mexican Americans in the Lower Rio Grande Valley: Judeo-Christian religious beliefs, symbols, and rituals; early Arabic medicine and health practices (combined with Greek humoral medicine, revived during the Spanish Renaissance); medieval and later European witchcraft; Native American herbal lore and health practices; modern beliefs about spiritualism and psychic phenomena; and scientific medicine. None of these influences dominates curanderismo, but each has had someimpact on its historical development.”

Stirring up a Disventure Camp AU that's just a cartoon with 60s fashion and aesthetic minus all the realism but with all the cartoon antics

Magenta Team is in a band minus Hunter (maybe he is in it later or left earlier) and James

They play psychedelic music I want to say, and lots of "You were a bad boyfriend" ass songs

In exchange for Fiore's keyboarding skills they let her do almost anything she wants, so yes hide your keys and wallet

They absolutely have no band name yet, and I'm open to suggestions !! I also have a Cyan Team band in the works that is more folk that also needs a name. Magenta is absolutely rivals with Cyan, Fiore tped Cyan's band car (as she should)

Tom is still a cop so he keeps an eye out for the terror caused by Magenta Team at times and Jaiden... oh Jaiden... so in love

Will there be Tomjake ? I don't know yet, seeing as I'm Jake disventure camp pr agent. I do not like Thomas (acab) and we will see where all stars takes us, but they for SURE had a fling here and Tom ignored that son of a bitch (Jake) again

Some of my thoughts here:

In each photo, one could identify aspects of spirituality, healing, or medical aid depicted in each artists specific style. Their perspective on the different rituals, practice, and healing styles of curandera/os varies by artist, a testament to the longevity and multifaceted nature of Curanderismo.

Both pieces are titled, Comadrona, meaning, midwife.

Each of these pieces shows a ritual, cleansing or spiritual affair.

Here we have a patient and their Curandero, a relatable experience by many standards.

Lo intentaron por todos los medios excepto encontrar a Narin: la gendarmería incluso acudió al curandero.

Damn my mom so worried about me she got me pouring what I can only assume is some type of spiritual remedy all over myself.

Giving me some type of herbal smelling mysterious dark liquid in a plastic bottle and telling me to add my perfume in there
