There are different 'types'. A neighbor of mine has a 'gift' of seeing the future and reading people's energies. She has visions that come like sudden images at her mind's eye sight.
There are others that can read minds.
Others can move energies with some technique that is akin to qi gong, which is not officially recognized because it's taught in an oral tradition manner.
There are also techniques to open and close portals. Same, taught in oral tradition.
A friend of mine's grandma currently lives in a house previously owned by a brujo and this guy left an open portal. Really fucking weird shit happens in that house. Like right out of some Dave Fleischer cartoon.
Then there are naguales, these guys supposedly can transform into differnt animals, coyotes, owls, rats. Then there are curanderos (healers)...

I have read a bit on nahuales and Castaneda's work. It seems to me native people are and we're far superior to the overwhelming majority of latam population now which like others have mentioned just syncretized different beliefs. Which makes me wonder if that is the reason why their magic is so low.
There's obviously no comparison on Quetzalcoatl worships and El Chapo ceramic figurines, which is telling of how low has magic fallen in those once very mystical countries. If the Toltecs were to see this they would be puking in disappointment.

Well blood sacrifices are still very much a thing in the western elites. The difference is westerners are billionaires thanks to those sacrifices while latin americans remuant and even get poorer all the while their environment and countries further decline and degrade into violent criminal shitholes.
Which is puzzling to me considering both are worshipping the same dark entities in theory
