Benedicaria: The Blessing Way of Southern Italian Folk Medicine

Benedicaria: The Blessing Way of Southern Italian Folk Medicine is a profound odyssey into the myster­ies of Old World European sacred heritage. The author Gail Faith Edwards presents a vibrant, living tapestry of her ancestral healing culture, woven together with the ancient wisdom from the heart of Mediterranean Old-World traditions. The book leads the readers on transformative journey along ancestral pilgrim trails, where the lushness of Southern Italian history, tribal customs and ancient Goddesses come to life. The reader will uncover the secrets of traditional amulets, harness the power of protective mudras, and immerse themselves in ancient dream incubation rituals as well as the healing embrace of ancient prayers. They will also dive into the numinous realm of electromagnetism and trance, where rhythm and chant intertwine with the reverence for Madonnas and the cult of the Saints. This book is an invitation to reclaim and reintegrate Old World spirituality, animism and mysticism back into one’s daily, modern lives and offers its reader both the map and tools needed to do so.
