Podcasts about italian folk magic

In this intimate conversation, my dad and I share stories from our family's tradition of Italian folk magic, passed down through generations. We talk about our personal experiences with Saint Michael and Saint Anthony, the powerful presence of saints in our daily lives, and how this spiritual path is deeply rooted in lineage.We also explore why I don't identify as a witch, even though I practice magic, and offer advice for others looking to reconnect with their Italian American heritage. Whether you were raised in the tradition or are just beginning your journey, this is a heartfelt look at faith, family, and the ancestral magic we carry.ChaptersIntro: (0:00)Experiences with Saint Michael + Saints: (6:28)Italian Folk Magic and Catholic Influences: (12:03)How the Folk Magic was Passed to Me: (13:45)Why I Don't Identify as a Witch: (22:46)Patron Saints and Feast Days: (30:10)How Can You Reconnect to Italian Ancestors and Culture?: (40:23)book a reading with me (mediumship, tarot, italian evil eye, italian cures and more)https://tinyurl.com/4c399c9smy store:luca divina | my italian folk magic storehttps://tinyurl.com/3khs3nbmfollow me on socials:https://www.instagram.com/highpriestesschelseahttps://www.tiktok.com/@highpriestesschelseabusiness inquiries:chelseatheghostwhisperer@gmail.com

✨ Italian Folk Magic and Shamanism: A Course in the Tradition of Segnature ✨I'm Dr Angela Puca, and I'm beyond excited to finally share this with you.This is not just another witchcraft course. It's the first and only course on Segnature taught live by the only Italian and only academic who has studied this tradition systematically, academically, and from within.Over 11 live Zoom sessions, I'll guide you through the real history and living practice of Italian folk magic. We'll look at how it survived persecution, how it intertwines with Catholicism, and how it functions as a form of indigenous Italian shamanism. I'll show you the healing signs, words, and gestures passed down in secrecy, and we'll explore spells for love, protection, prosperity, and ancestral work—always rooted in ethical, respectful practice.I've already published on this topic with Brill, and I'm currently writing a new book with never-before-shared material from my fieldwork. And in this course? I'm sharing that research with you first.⚠️ This will very likely be the only time I run this course live.You'll have direct access to me, Q&As, recordings, and community support on my private Discord.We start on Saturday, July 19th.

Growing up in an Italian-American family, I was introduced to Malocchio (the Evil Eye) at a young age. I loved having this eccentric idea as part of my heritage. For centuries, some cultures have been able to accommodate both their Christian traditions along with various elements of folk magic, esoteric healing and what has come to be known as "witchcraft." Italy is no exception. Angela Puca is about the most perfect person to discuss these issues with. She was raised in Naples and has advanced degrees in Religious Studies. In her research she was able to gain the confidence of many folk magic practitioners who are no longer living in seclusion in tiny rural Italian villages.

Hi everyone and welcome back to Styx and Bones with Chelsea and Tenn!! Today we're talking about the folklore of witches, STREGA, and the Strzyga. Ancient communities would protect themselves from this folkloric figure and we're deep diving into Slavic folklore today. We're also discussing the word Strega in the Italian sense, Italian Folk Magic and more!

This month, I've got the joy of introducing you to Dr Angela Puca, who holds a bachelor's and a master's degree in philosophy. In 2021, The University of Leeds awarded her a PhD in Religious Studies, which will soon be published with Brill. Her research focuses on magic, witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, shamanism, and related currents.  Author of several peer-reviewed publications and co-editor of the forthcoming ‘Pagan Religions in five Minutes' for Equinox, she hopes to bridge the gap between academia and the communities of magic practitioners by delivering related scholarly content on her YouTube Channel and TikTok ‘Angela's Symposium' - https://www.youtube.com/c/AngelasSymposium Find Angela on Instagram and TikTok at @drangelapuca or on X at @AngelaPuca11. In this interview, we chat about magic from an academic perspective, what Italian folk magic is, and the thorny debate about whether religion and magic are the same thing!

Hello friends! Thank you so much for tuning in today I'm really excited to be back! Today's episode is an exploration for the eye in magic, be it third or evil, belonging to an Egyptian god or floating atop a glowing pyramid. I'm going to tell you how to diagnose the presence of the evil eye and ways to shake it off, and how to balance the energy of your brow chakra. Are you a big music fan? If you use Spotify to listen to the show look for the version of this episode labeled B-SIDE - I've filled the episode with music breaks featuring songs about eyes, vision, clairvoyance, and some that resonate with the third eye itself. You can find the whole playlist, including songs I didn't end up using, here. The book referenced with the evil eye cure is Italian Folk Magic by Mary-Grace Fahrun (amazon.com | amazon.ca) You can watch her video demonstrating the cure on her YouTube Channel - link. You can also find Agatha De Santis's fabulous film Malocchio on YouTube - link. Like what you hear on The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast?

Interview with Stephen Patrick, a psychic medium in Rochester NY, on the tradition of Italian Folk Magic

Mallorie Vaudoise’s Neapolitan ancestors migrated to the US at great sacrifice to build a firm foundation for future generations. Mallorie grew up knowing life is not about being a consumer; it’s about being a steward for the next generation. She talked about ancestors beyond our bloodlines and how to venerate them and receive their blessings. In perfect synchronicity, Janet realized her desire to be “home” in the Hudson River Valley is the call of her Huguenot ancestors who came to America in 1624! Mallorie Vaudoise has a spectacular array of spiritual credentials. She is a witch of Italian Catholic descent and apprenticed to the world-renowned Italian folk musician and shaman Alessandra Belloni. In addition, Mallorie is an initiated Olorisha priestess in Lucimi and a Quimbandeira com licenca in Brazilian Quimbanda. Mallorie writes a wildly popular blog, Italian Folk Magic, and just published Honoring your Ancestors. Join our community and get your free gift at janetconner.com/14.
