Other Strega Links and Resources
Aradia: The Gospel of the Witches
Charles Leland's book, written over a hundred years ago, is largely misunderstood as a book of "black magick." While there are a few "cursing" spells contained herein, it is also filled with lovely invocations (including the original Charge of the Goddess) and charming folk tales, all in the name of the goddess Diana.
Stregheria
