Today on the A Pinch of Magick podcast, I’m joined by Dee Norman whose book: Burn a Black Candle: An Italian American Grimoire, is released this month.

We discuss her experience of growing up in a family with Italian-American magick and how she reclaimed these traditions that were often spoken in hushed tones.

 

We discuss:

  • Dee’s definition of magick
  • The importance of protection magick
  • The Evil Eye – how to detect the evil eye and cure it
  • How to discover your own family’s magickal traditions
  • How to work with your ancestors
  • Finding the Saints who want to work with you / when you need them
  • Using divination, in particular Emblem cards
  • Creating altars
  • Incorporating magick into everyday life
  • The creation and use of sigils
  • Dee’s go-to magick
  • And Dee shares the one piece of magick that she would love everyone to do
