Witchy background:
Magic and spirits have always been in my life. I spoke to spirits and entities in my crib, and saw my grandmother watching over me as I slept my entire childhood. I fully my witchy nature in 1995. I am in Italian witch and psychic practicing a blend of Italian folk magic, and other traditions and practices from my family bloodlines. My ancestors are Italian, Sicilian, Greek, English, Irish, Dutch, French - and Native American; specifically Cherokee tribe (many generations removed 1800s). I am a blend of green, kitchen, and fire witches (it’s so hard to narrow down, don’t we all mix different elements into our practice?) My work has deep familial (specifically Napolitano Italian) influences from Catholic mysticism, as well as profound Greek and Roman pantheon Connections. Dieties I favor/favor me; Jesus, Hekate, the Morrigan, Persephone, mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, st. Anthony, St. Francis, St. Jude. Currently, I run my own website, I manage my social media, and I have an online store specializing in witchy items such as apothecary items, Herbs, curios, and candles. I have a strong interest in astrology (I am an Aries sun, Scorpio moon and Libra rising). I am an expert many divination techniques including tarot, tea leaves, wax, fire and and water scrying. I have previously written articles and spells for Witchology Magazine during the 2018 and 2019 turn of the wheel, and @witch.with.me blog. Most recently, I am hosting a witchy cooking show, "In the Kitchen with Strega Stef" on @witch.with.tv network. Collecting dirt from various places (and getting my friends to do the same!) is a fun pastime I enjoy, along with working in my garden, and improving my little cottage by the Forrest.
