Italian Witchcraft: The Old Religion of Southern Europe | Raven Grimassi
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Italian Witchcraft (previously titled Ways of the Strega) by respected author Raven Grimassi is more than just a book about Witchcraft. It is a complete Book of Shadows. In it you will find the history of this ancient tradition, its legends and myths, as well as the rituals and rites that you can do today. You can be a Strega! The book includes a full set of rituals that you can do. You'll find rituals for all of the Italian Witchcraft holidays including Shadow Fest, Lupercus, Tana's Day and more. You'll also find rituals for the Full Moon, births, funerals. There is a practical side to this book, too. It is filled with instructions so that you can cast spells and work with the powers of incense, oils, herbs, and candles. You'll learn to work with the magick of the Moon and Stars. You'll be able to do protection rituals and learn how to cure someone who has received the "Malocchio" (Evil Eye). Many of the mysteries revealed here have never been published before. You'll learn secret gestures of power and secret symbols. And you can use them all! Also revealed are the secrets of the tools of the Italian Witch. You'll learn how to prepare the "Spirit Blade" and the ritual wand. You'll learn how to make the Spirit Bowl and use to consecrate other tools and talismans. If you're looking to discover real Witchcraft, or if you're already a Witch but are thinking about other traditions, this is the book for you.

2.5/5⭐ The Italian history & stories are interesting. Unfortunately, Grimassi uses almost no archaeological/scholarly evidence, mashes together witchcraft (a practice) & Wicca (a religion), & his thesis seeks to refute a claim I've never heard (that witchcraft started Wicca). The book also repeats sections in different chapters. His passion for his Italian heritage shines, but his scholarship lacks authority. #bookspinbingo #bookspin (March)

Raven Grimassi is one of my favorite authors on witchcraft. In this book he writes about the old Italian tradition of Stregheria and about Aradia (considered the Goddess of Witches) who brought witchcraft back to the people in the 14th century.
