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 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.

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

This book is awful.

I'm willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt. I'm willing to believe that he just doesn't see the logical fallacies he's presenting as facts, and that he just doesn't actually know how to do good historical research, nor how to compile good research into a sensible book.

Frankly, the pseudoacademic nonsense in this book would get a high-school student in trouble.

Raven clearly wants to prove that his 'tradition' of Italian Witchcraft is an unbroken line back to ancient times. But the historical research he cites doesn't support the idea, for all that he insists it does. I'd have had more respect for him citing channeled knowledge, then torturing the historical record into giving false support.

I tried to read this, more than once. I tried. I hoped that, among the chaff, there might be some information worth having. I can't find it by about 1/2 way through the book. I give up. I can find much better ways to use my time. ( )
