Italian Folk Magiccontains:
- magical and religious rituals
- prayers
- divination techniques
- crafting
- blessing rituals
- witchcraft
The author also explores the evil eye, known as malocchio in Italian, explaining what it is, where it comes from, and, crucially, how to get rid of it.
This book can help Italians regain their magical heritage, but Italian folk magic is a beautiful, powerful, and effective magical tradition that is accessible to anyone who wants to learn it.
