Title A name given to the resource Modern Belief in Folk Healing Subject The topic of the resource Contemporary practices of alternative medicine and folk healing Description An account of the resource Curanderas are still part of the community, and belief in it is strong. With younger practitioners, the focus is less on piety, but on healing from within and connecting to the world around them. It’s not about the European influence of the culture, but the indigenous one. There is emphasis on natural remedies and inserting human emotion into one’s work. Tradition continues because superstition holds; it doesn’t only live through secondhand accounts in an academic journal. This is present with contemporary brujas, who practice to stay rooted in their culture and to be mindful of their impact on others. It shows with the strong belief people still hold for witchcraft despite medical advancements or immigration. The items in this collection exhibit two methods in disseminating knowledge on folk culture. The paper from the UT Folklore Center is grouped with multiple student papers on folk healing practices throughout Texas — used as a method to store the interviews with practitioners and research conducted by the University. Artemisa's zine presents a primary source from a practitioner. Her artwork does not give much factual information as the research paper, but it offers insight into folk healing in practice. The paper gives context to the traditions in practice.
