Marianne Riggiola-Martens

Marianne Riggiola-Matrens, Riannonlia, Her entire life has been one of teaching. She is a traditional Streghan witch for 78 years, and have a coven of eight adults and four children. Her coven is eclectic, but has a Streghen tradition and smaller coven called Bifana’s Broom. Most people know very little about Stregheria, or Stregoni and so I would like to teach them.

Foundations of Stregheria.  The basic origins of Stregheria. Who were the followers? How is it similar or different from other traditions? Why is it so secret and why does it remain so? Why is it a famiky  tradition and can anyone practice it?  All Welcome.  Sirius Rising:  Tuesday, July 18

Tenets of Stregheria.   Gods and Goddesses of Stregheria, what they represent, where are they worshipped? Colors, basic laws, who can initiate, and holidays or festas of Stregheria. The three kinds of witches of Stregheria and what and where do they rule?  All Welcome.  Sirius Rising:  Thursday, July 20

Basic Rituals of Stregheria.  Initiation, healing, circle casting, full moon, banishing, parting of ways, rite of passage, menarche, high priestess, and a demonstration of a healing ritual which all attendees will participate.  All Welcome.  Sirius Rising:  Saturday, July 22
