As you’ve doubtlessly noticed, a lot of my magic is largely based in what could be called Folk Catholicism which refers any of of the varieties of ethnic expressions of Catholicism
as practiced in Catholic communities, typically in developing nations.
Practices identified by outside observers as “folk Catholicism” vary
from place to place and sometimes contradict the official teachings and
practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Below is suggested reading for those interested in exploring this multi-faceted aspect of Western religiosity.

Bartlett, Robert.

I’m getting Why Can the Dead Do Such Great Things? soon-ish. I’ll try to do a book review once I’m done with it.

The blog All the Saints You Should Know is also a great source for folk Catholicism stuff (though I will warm you that it has a strong focus on the dead). The reading list there is how I heard of Why Can the Dead Do Such Great Things?
