Sinossi
Questo grimorio contiene una raccolta di antichi incantesimi, invocazioni, riti, scongiuri, amuleti e arcaiche forme di divinazione, di presunta origine etrusco-romana, che erano ancora in uso nella campagna della Romagna-Toscana sul finire del 1800. Come riferito dallo stesso Leland, gran parte di queste pratiche magiche gli furono rivelate dalla misteriosa Strega che egli chiama con il nome di "Maddalena", erede di un'antica tradizione stregonesca trasmessa nella sua famiglia da generazioni. Tra gli argomenti: invocazione a Pano, offerte agli spiriti, invocazioni a Tinia, i poteri occulti della verbena, incantesimo della ghianda, amuleti e antiche usanze, divinazione con l'olio, divinazione con la pietra, e tanto altro...

Aradia is considered the foundation text for modern witchcraft, especially British Traditional Wicca. It was from this book that Aleister Crowley “borrowed” the invocation of Diana and Aradia for his Thelemic text The Book of the Law, which Gerald Gardner paraphrased for his own original BOS that Do Leggi tutto
I was excited to read this, but ultimately disappointed.

I don't see this book being very popular with many pagans. It's revered by 'some' witches, who find inspiration in it's poetic tale. Too many pagans these days are too literal to enjoy what I consider a piece of art. In Australian slang, it's a bit of creative bullshit. You get out of it what you lik Leggi tutto
A Classic... But Horribly Creepy This book's first sentence describes incest with reverence, and sexual assault and rape pervade through this book. It is horribly dated and uncomfortable to read. I wanted to love this book but could scarcely find select passages of phrases that I found to live up to Leggi tutto
This did not give me the info I had hoped for about Paganism. As a follower of Diana/ Artemis I had high hopes. But this book greatly disappointed. Maybe the author was trying to show off a bit pre spiritualism days. An he thought he'd show off his writing ability which in honesty, did nothing for m Leggi tutto
There's a problem with 19th century religious studies texts is the blatant "my research is better, and oh by the way, read this other work I've written." Not only that, he admits that he's rewritten a lot of the translated texts, to keep with his "feeling" of what the "intent" of the Italian was. Hi Leggi tutto
Interessante dal punto di vista antropologico la figura di Diana.La ricerca di un'emancipazione femminile ai tempi dei romani.Ovviamente per il resto lascio il diritto di apprezzare il libro in base all' ideologia personale.
