Activist Witch🔮 | Italian Witchcraft 🧿 Growing up in Italy with Saints, Folk Magic Rituals, the Evil Eye #storytime @activistwitch | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Like my content? you can leave me a Tip and get a Tarot Reading at💸 ko-fi.com/activistwitch 💸I was born and raised in a tiny farmer's village in north Italy and what is common knowledge and habit there is likely considered Italian Witchcraft outside of it. However no wise woman or magic practitioner would call themselves a Witch in Italy, or Strega, if anything those rituals against the Malocchio (evil eye), the cult of the local Saints, reading tarot by your loyal cartomancer and folk magick rituals are just part of the local tradition. In this video I go through what I remember being raised within these traditions, including segnature and possibly light exorcism. Italian Witchcraft and Folk Magic are crucially entwined with Christianity and Catholicism specifically so you can see where most of the witchcraft magic around Saints comes from. I talk about Santa Rita da Cascia, who I used to go to sleep asking to my Nonna to tell me her story one more time, and Don Orione, a local saint of my region and the miracles he allegedly performed to be beatified and then canonized a Saint. I'll talk about folk rituals against worms (evil), warts, and the tradition of the egg whites in water on the night's of Saint Peter and Paul to do divination and learn how the harvest will turn out, and I'll also go into the physical manifestations of the Malocchio Evil Eye that I've heard about as a child, and the Tarot tradition that I still carry with me when I read for my friends.
