The Border Healer

My Life as a Curandero is one of the most significant contributions of its kind. Alberto Salinas, Jr., a curandero, tells his story in the native voice. He shares insights about his life and how he became a healer.

He explains the spiritual world of El Nino Fidencio, the spiritual realm in which he practices, and shares many of his experiences as a working exorcist. He recounts his life growing up as a migrant farm worker in south Texas, marrying, raising children, and working as a deputy sheriff before he recognized his calling to spiritual service as a curandero.
