Immerse yourself in the world of traditional Italian folk magic and shamanic healing.

While Italy is beloved for its culinary and artistic contributions to world culture, its magical traditions are often shrouded in mystery. In this book, Italian native Dr. Angela Puca draws back the curtain to show the power and beauty of her homeland's folk magic.

Part cultural history and part practical guide, Italian Folk Magic & Shamanism is built upon peer-reviewed academic research and firsthand engagement with contemporary practitioners.
