Stregheria - An archaic Italian word for Witchcraft that is becoming back into use and refers to Witchcraft specifically in association with the Sabbat (the worship of Diana), i.e. religious Witchcraft as part of the worship/reverence of the Old Gods of the Italian cultures (including modern Italian-American cultures). A Strega or Stregone is a practitioner of Stregheria but different family traditions may call themselves something different (Strega Maga, etc.).

Stregoneria - The Italian word for witchcraft, meaning magic as a practice regardless of religion or spirituality, i.e. the practice of magic, spell work, creation of charms/talismans, and folk magic within the Italian/Italian-American cultures. A Strega or Stregone is a practitioner of Stregoneria.

 

Steghe.us is wholly owned and operated by Rev. Vincent Russo of Arsenic & Old Lace and serves as a resource repository for the positive religions known collectively as La Vecchia Religione, the Craft, or modern Witchcraft Traditions regardless of the originating culture.
