About
Rue's Kitchen is dedicated to the fight against the cultural violence committed against practitioners of stregoneria (traditional Italian witchcraft) and Benedicaria* (Italian folk healing/magic and spiritual rituals of blessing a.k.a the things we do) by self-proclaimed Italian witches [sic] and certain authors claiming that there was and still is a secret society pre-dating Christianity that practiced and continues to practice witchcraft as a religion in Italy.
Amongst people of southern Italian descent, Italians and North American-Italians alike, there is a tradition which is passed from mother to daughter, father to son, zia to nipote, commara to commarella, etc. This tradition is very rich, and in it will be found the rituals and prayers for the outward expression of one's inner spirituality for every phase and condition of one's life.
