They literally have saints patrons of cartels, muggers and thieves. Unlike let's say Babylonian or Kabalah that focus on literal deities and energies, latin 'magic' is mostly just focused on stupid shit like killing random people for 20$, why is that?

They’re pretty much the same


You think a “poor” Babylonian/Mesopotamian/Sumerian didn’t have his own small idol for worship at home?

What is the real brujos true high magic then?

Probably, but I highly doubt even the poorest Jew or Babylonian worshipped random common thieves and had altars dedicated to them.
Just compare Israel US or UK where kabbalistic magic is at the forefront of magic systems there and then see how Santeria, voodoo and Santa muerte has treated Cuban Haiti Mexico Venezuela etc.

I'm not saying latin magic is fake, but it sure does seems its nowhere as effective as western or eastern magic systems and probably has way more dangerous backfires specially in the case of voodoo and Santa muerte.

Whereas kabbalah has enthroned the Western elites as the rulers of the world, Santeria and Santa muerte worships have made latin American countries shitholes only known for being failed narco states everyone there is trying to flee from.

Turn off the TV for a while. It's obvious you understand nothing about México. Painfully so in the fact that you refer to the whole of latin america while just describing México. No other place here has a significant narco-culture (Colombia HAD it and never to the extent we do).

Santeria, Voodoo, Palo mayombe, etc. Are basically African systems with not a lot of Spanish input into them. Cult of the Santa Muerte is sincretism half mesoamerican half catholic, a real spiritual representation of what being Mexican is at its cultural and ethnic core. I just don't see a common thread in all the traditions you decide to lump into the same bag other that the fact that they are south of the US,

That being said, I think you are mixing up two things, YOUR personal, and quite anglo-saxon, idea of success and the effectiveness of a magical system. Just because the cultural inclinations of Mexicans, to talk about what I know about, are different from those of Englishmen, Americans or kikes (It's really not relevant to talk about which motivations/aspirations are 'better' for this topic) it doesn't mean the means by which Mexicans get what they desire through magic doesn't work.

See what I mean? If the only measure of how well does a magic system work is YOUR personal definition of success then it is obvious magical systems from your cultural and ethnic (original or adopted) background will seem as the only effective ones since the people that use them pursue what you believe is worth pursuing.

Talking specifically about the Santa Muerte I've never heard a story of someone asking her for something and not getting it in return.

Good points, also the Anglo-Saxon idea that effective magic has to be unseen by the public can effectively banish it from the culture and creates a magically illiterate population

Magic is the use of words and symbols to create effects in the universe, our words have power, we create our reality with the words we speak

Latin American magic is good
