It's been quite a while since my last update on my Generosity page.(https://www.generosity.com/education-fundraising/witches-of-italy-an-educational-research-trip) ..but that's because I was in Italy on my very successful and exciting research trip! Internet was difficult to come by there because I was deep in the forests or in medieval towns or at tops of mountains, and when I did have wifi I was moving photos and video footage.  I have posted many photo series on my personal Facebook page, but I will also begin posting them here so you can see them. More exciting news, I am starting to give lectures about my trip's research, complete with videos and photos! I am organizing all this material into a book, even though it is enough for several books, but in the meanwhile I've received so many requests and invitation for lectures or podcasts,  I decided to give a few and plan a few more. If you are in the NY state area, I have two events coming up in just a few weeks: Monday September 19th at Brid's Closet in Cornwall, NY I will be speaking on Italy's Witches and Medicine Women from 6:30-8:30pm, $20, 282 Main Street, Cornwall, NY 12518 (845) 458-8726. On Friday September 23 from 7-8:30 pm I will be speaking at Catland, 897 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (718) 418-9393. The Catland event is selling tickets due to high volume interest, so you must get a ticket here instead of at the door:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/italys-witches-and-medicine-women-tickets-27195035082. Both events will feature video footage, photos, and a Q&A session!

I will be in NY for 3 events: two lectures with video and photos regarding my research on Italy's Witches and Medicine Women, and an Ancestor Pathworking Guided Meditation. Please read all the details below! I will also be available for private readings in-person or via phone September 20, 21, 22, 25.

Italy's Witches and Medicine Women by Karyn Crisis.

Friday September  23rd at Catland in Brooklyn, NY: 987 Flushing Ave (718) 418-9393.

Call for reservations and door prices.

1.5-2 hour Lecture (with photos and video footage) of Karyn Crisis' research trip of Italy's Witches and Medicine women. 

As a natural born and Spiritualist trained Medium, I had no real investment in the history of paganism and witchcraft, that is until Goddesses began communicating with me in the same way passed-on relatives and loved ones did. They began to tell me about the many spiritual practices and multi-cultural imprints all over Italy, which I later found evidence of in Italian literature. They also began to impress upon me the healing powers of "witches" all over Italy, the ancient lineage of the feminine mysteries, and invited me to come to the land and discover a most wonderful matrilineal history buried under  the genocide of the Inquisition.

Come discover the fascinating history with me, as I reveal information given to me not only through my own Spirit world communications, but as evidenced through the many professors, researchers, published authors, local Streghe and Bajiue(witches,) Nonnas, and herbalists, historians, and folk story experts who provided me with this research from Italy.

What are witches and their local names?

Do their ancient practices bear any resemblance to modern witchcraft?

Why is witchery so widespread in Italy?

What are the other cultural influences, pagan strongholds, and beloved Goddesses and why did they receive such devotion?

Learn of the Inquisition's trail and why it had more power in the north than the south

What were witches powers, and are there different types of witches?

How did they learn their secret knowledge?

Who are the Benandanti?Janara? Streghe? Bajiue?

Where did the legend of women dancing around a magic walnut tree come from?

Who are the Longboards and what do they have to do with Wodan, Freya, and the Streghe?

Are there Goddess temples remaining and where are they located?

What were the secret healing herbs used to cure disease by uneducated women and how did they learn about them?

How successful was the ability to cure of the witches? 

What was the Inquisition's real purpose?
