Does Italian Witchcraft include practices of harmful magic?
Because the Italian Craft has roots of great antiquity there are elements of what can be called war magic. This type of magic is only used after a magical or psychic attack has been launched against practitioners of the Old Religion, and is therefore a defensive art. We do not draw “first blood” with the art of magic, meaning that we do not launch the first assault. However, we do practice magical binding as a preemptive act when the need to defend against a real threat is apparent. There is no intent to harm with an act of binding. Although it is not our way to start a fight, we are more than willing to end one with the full intention and effort of winning.
