About this title

Synopsis

Magic from Mexico opens a door to the faith, craft, and wisdom of a magical religion that has survived the Spanish conquest, the Inquisition, and the urbanization of the Americas. In Her new guise of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the ancient Aztec Mother-goddess Tonantz’n lives and nourishes Her followers.

She was born on April 20, 1945, in Racine, Wisconsin. After graduating from William Horlick High School (Racine, 1963), she earned the following academic degrees: BA in Spanish and French from Dominican College (Rancine, 1966), MA in Spanish from the University of Wisconsin (Madison, 1967), and PhD in Romance and Germanic Languages and Literature from Wayne State University (Detroit, 1972).

"Toci" lives in Racine, and continues her study of American Mystery religions and folk wisdom.
