Part One of the book offers a complete and detailed insight in the Etruscan and Roman rooted pantheon of the Tuscan Streghe (witches). Part Two describes many of their spells, incantations, sorcery and several lost divination methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeland found himself at the crossroads of the academic and the romantic and it is precisely this, which makes the reading of his work so enjoyable. His primary aim was to preserve this ancient traditional knowledge, as he feared, it would soon be wiped out by modernism. Much information in this book, Leland received first hand from the Tuscan witches Maddalena and Marietta. His second work on Stregheria: \u003cem\u003eAradia, or the Gospel of the Witches\u003c\/em\u003e was published seven years later in 1899. One could state he reached his goal, as his books are still of invaluable importance to both the Italian folklore and the modern practitioner of witchcraft. One of Leland's readers was the late Gerald Gardner, which makes one wonder who was the true godfather of modern witchcraft...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead more about Leland and the index of ancient Etruscan gods and spirits, in the Post Scriptum of \u003cem\u003eEtruscan Magic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e. \u003c\/em\u003ePreview on vamzzz.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 628\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.39 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47416312103090,"sku":"9789492355003","price":43.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/1fbfaaf00dd397826391ae266c399ee4.webp?v=1778403309","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/etruscan-magic-occult-remedies-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
