Above, the opening of a film that you can watch on-line concerning a curandero and bone-setter in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Sorry, no subtitles.
The second set of videos I found was on a newsite in Lake Charles, LA, regarding Cajun traiteurs. AG’s great-grandfather was a Creole traiteur, according to my father-in-law. This is the first extended video I have seen on-line concerning this practice:
Unveiling the mystery of traiteurs
Profile of a traiteur: Helene Boudreaux
A video from Ecuador
Finally, a video from Catalonia in Spain, for those who want to brush up on their Catalan.
The common thread in all of these videos is the role of faith. Healing does not come automatically by the performance of some ritual, but through the power of belief.
