Biographie de l'auteur :

Raven Grimassi is a Neo-Pagan scholar and award-winning author of over fourteen books on Witchcraft, Wicca, and Neo-Paganism. He has been devoted to the study and practice of witchcraft for over forty years. Raven is co-founder and co-director of the Fellowship of the Pentacle, a modern Mystery School tradition of pre-Christian European beliefs and practices. Grimassi’s background includes training in old forms of witchcraft as well as Brittic Wicca, the Pictish-Gaelic tradition, and Celtic Traditionalist Witchcraft. Raven was also a member of the Rosicrucian Order, and studied the Kabbalah through the First Temple of Tifareth under Lady Sara Cunningham. His early magical career began in the late 1960s and involved the study of works by Julius Evola, Franz Bardon, Gareth Knight, Kenneth Grant, Dion Fortune, William Gray, AustinSpare, William Butler, Israel Regardie, Eliphas Levi, and William Barrett. Raven currently lives in New England with his beautiful wife and co-author Stephanie Taylor-Grimassi. He enjoys such things as collecting Silver Age comics featuring Dr. Strange, working in the herbal garden, and occasionally relaxing on the porch with a nice cigar on a warm summer night.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The herb know as rue has been associated with magic and protection since ancient Roman times, if not longer. This plant was later fashioned into a charm, which is known today as the cimaruta. Decades of research and investigation now bring forth the most thorough and complete work ever published on the Cimaruta charm.

Author and scholar Raven Grimassi shares the old lore of Italy along with his personal insights about about rue and the cimaruta charm. Mr. Grimassi includes an exploration of the cimaruta charm in both folk magic and witchcraft traditions. Each of the symbols appearing on the cimaruta are examined and their meanings revealed.

This modern work is sure to delight anyone interested in Old World lore, legend, and magic.
