Welcome to my website
I hope you will find it informative and of
interest.
I first began writing Witchcraft and Wicca
material for the public in 1979. At this time I was the editor
and contributing writer for a magazine called The Shadow's Edge.
Over the following two decades this magazine evolved into
different magazines, one called Moon Shadows, and another called
Raven's Call. Raven's Call magazine was discontinued in 2001.
In the early 1980s I
produced two self-published books through Nemi Enterprises,
titled the Book of the Holy Strega, and The Book of Ways (a
two volume set), which all went out-of-print three years
later. The Book of the Holy Strega is still out-of-print and
unavailable. However, the Book of Ways is back in reprint,
and the two volumes are now combined into one book. It is
available exclusively through Raven’s Loft store:
Raven's Loft.
In the early 1990s I
produced two booklets through Moon Dragon Publications,
titled The Teachings of the Holy Strega, and Whispers;
Teachings of the Old Religion of Italy. These works are also
out-of-print and unavailable.
In 1994 Llewellyn
Publications accepted my manuscript for Ways of the Strega,
which was then published in 1995. The book was later
re-titled Italian Witchcraft, and with a new chapter and
expanded material throughout the book it was released in
2000. I wrote Ways of the Strega/Italian Witchcraft in order
to fill a void. Prior to this book there were few books on
Witchcraft and Wicca that contained material for people of
non-Celtic lineage, or for those interested in southern
European systems. While I seem to be best known for writing
about Italian Witchcraft, this topic is represented in only
two of the twelve books I have in print today. My other titles
deal with the core commonality of Witchcraft and Wicca
without any specific cultural representation..
I hope you will take some time and look around the
website. Check back from time to time as things will be
added and updated.
