The gods, spirits, and sorcery of Italian witches
Etruscan Magic & Occult Remedies by Charles Godfrey Leland was first published as Etruscan Roman Remained in Popular Tradition in 1892. Part One of the book offers a complete and detailed insight into the Etruscan and Roman-rooted pantheon of the Tuscan Streghe (witches). Part Two describes many of their spells, incantations, sorcery, and several lost divination methods.

Leland found himself at the crossroads of academic and romantic, and it is precisely this that makes reading his work so enjoyable. He primarily aimed to preserve this ancient traditional knowledge, as he feared it would soon be wiped out by modernism. In this book, Leland receives much information firsthand from the Tuscan witches Maddalena and Marietta. His second work on Stregheria: Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, was published seven years later in 1899. One could state he reached his goal, as his books are still invaluable to the Italian folklore and the modern practitioner of witchcraft. One of Leland's readers was the late Gerald Gardner, which makes one wonder who was the true godfather of modern witchcraft…Comprehensive sourcebook of the magic arts
The results of Mr. Leland's research have been the collection of several magic formulas, tales, and poems. What he has given in this book is of great interest to all students of classical lore. It will illustrate many minor questions. All these superstitions, observances, legends, names, and attributes of spirits are, at present, far from being generally known. Illustrated.
