Extractions: Welcome to my 'casa' on the Web. I will strive to give you a basic understanding of Stregheria (Italian Witchcraft) : its' many dieties, beliefs, folklore, history, charms, ethics, traditions and festivals. There are different traditions of Stregheria : Janarra, Tanarra, Fanarra, Silvanic, Benandanti, Luperci, Cavellini, Italian Fairy, Sicilian Fairy, Trinacrian and probably many more. You would be very hard pressed to find a Witch or Wiccan anywhere who would blindly follow anyone else. We are historically very independent people who seek truth from within through rituals, meditation, studying and communing with nature. We respect the right of everyone to worship in their own way. My only animosity towards Christianity, or towards any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extent that its institutions have claimed to be 'the only way' and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief. I do not feel that Witchcraft or Wicca is the only way only that it is my way. I follow my own tradition of Stregheria...I am not associated with any Clan here in the US or Italy. I do not profess to be 'the' authority on Stregheria, and what I offer here in this website is my opinions, hypothesis, conclusions and comments.

Next ~Stregheria~ In the fourteenth-century, a Wise Woman who called herself Aradia brought back a revival of the Old Religion, La Vecchia Religione. In central Italy, witches of old worshipped the goddess Diana and her consort, the god Dianus. In Italy, Witches do not use the word Sabbat for their seasonal rites. The Italian word is Trequenda (tray-gwen-da). There are eight Treguendas that make the "Wheel of the Year". They are... *Shadowfest-October 31st *Winter Solstice-December 21st/22nd *Lupercus-February 2nd *Spring Equinox-March 21st/22nd *Tana's Day-May 1st *Summer Solstice-June 21st/22nd *Cornucopia-August Eve *Autumn Equinox-September 21st/22nd The Gifts of Aradia and Tenets of Belief In the fourteenth century, Aradia taught that the traditional powers of a witch would belong to any who followed in the ways of the Old Religion. Aradia called these powers gifts, because she stressed the point that these powers were benefits of adhering to the Old Ways, and not the reason for becoming a witch. These are the powers: ~To bring succes in love ~To bless and consecrate ~To speak with spirits ~To know of hidden things ~To call forth spirits ~To know the Voice of the Wind ~To possess the knowledge of transformation ~To possess the knowledge of divination

Extractions: Stregheria - La Vecchia Religione Stregheria, La Vecchia Religione , is a tradition which began in Italy. It was passed down over generations, from parent to child. It has survived over time dispite repeated attempts by the church and other organizations to supress it. I first learned of the tradition by reading the brief blurb in Silver RavenWolf's To Ride a Silver Broomstick . I then set out to learn more, and discovered Ways of the Strega , by Raven Grimassi. As I read his book, I was reminded of stories I heard growing up, told by my grandmother. The more I read, the more things "clicked." Strega provided what the other traditions could not - solid footing. It is a wonderful feeling to have something so firm beneath you as you stretch upwards towards the God and Goddess. Deeper insight came in the form on an on-line study group first sponsored by Pandora, then taught by Amberlyn. I have gained much from this list, and am ever learning more. What follows is a glimpse into La Vecchia Religione . I have included on each page my own thoughts on what is mentioned. Some of the pages have references from Raven's book, others include parts of discussion from the Strega-list. I have tried my best to include all the credits. Some of the references from the list, unfortunately, were only saved in bits and pieces as I salvaged from my old server. If there is something that is yours, please

Extractions: "I foresee that a day will come, and that perhaps not so very far distant, that the world of scholars will be amazed to consider to what a late period and immense body of antique tradition survived in northern Italy, and how indifferent the learned were regarding it; there having seen in truth, only one man, and he a foreigner, who earnestly occupied himself with collecting and preserving it." Charles Godfrey Leland - 1899 Italian Witchcraft Italian witches, known as Strega, walk the path of the Old Religion. They are the witches of Old Italy. In 1890, folklorist Charles Leland published a book titled Aradia: Gospel of the Witches . Although it was typical in many ways of the distorted Christian image of Witchcraft of this period, we do find several things of interest. In Leland's book, Italian witches worship a goddess and a god, meet for full moon rituals and celebrate with singing, dancing and making love. Their celebration also includes a feast containing cakes and wine. In 1609, Francesco Guazzo published several woodcuts in his book Compendium Maleficarum. One of these Italian woodcuts depicts witches gathered inside a circle drawn upon the ground. In 1954, Gerald Gardner describes English Witchcraft in very much the same way. Take a look at some of the topics on this website for other interesting similarities between the Strega Path and Wicca.
