Eric Labrado, a native of west Texas, has been practicing Mexican witchcraft (brujeria) and folk-healing (curanderismo) since childhood. He learned the fundamentals of these practices from his family and other practitioners in his community.  Eric is initiated into the Afro-Cuban tradition of Santería as a priest of Oshún and is also an experienced medium and diviner. Apart from co-running his shop City Alchemist, he provides limpias (spiritual cleanings) for the community and mentorship programs for those interested in learning about the spiritual folk-traditions of Mexico. His expertise and knowledge of various traditions make him a respected authority in the field of spiritual healing.

Together Alexis and Eric Eric co-authored two books, "Magia Magia: Invoking Mexican Magic" and "Blood of Brujeria."  They have combined their knowledge, expertise and art to bring forward City Alchemist.
