It was probably through Andrew Fleming’s 1996 film, ‘The Craft’, that I first became intrigued by Wicca, the influential neopagan tradition which claims its roots lie in a pre-Christian European witch-cult. Proving the existence of such a cult has attracted much research but little evidence. If it did ever exist, there are two ways in which the teachings could have been preserved for modern times, either through the direct passing down of tradition or through inheritance.

According to the Pagan Federation, Wicca (or the Craft) has numerous traditions. It writes, “Traditionalists claim their methods pre-date the modern revival and have been passed down from generation to generation. Hereditaries claim their traditions have been passed on by particular families through relations of blood and marriage.”

Hereditaries (sometimes known as Family Traditionalists or FamTrad) may or may not accept the Wiccan label.

If you live in the US and are interested in looking into traditional witchcraft you may want to check out the website of Elizabeth Sturino. The following information is taken straight from Elizabeth’s website .

Biography of Elizabeth Sturino

Elizabeth is an Intuitive, a Medium, a Mediator, and a Visionary. She was the first, and to date, the only Named Mother of a Traditional British Witchcraft Family in the Americas. She is now an Elder. She is an honorary participant of numerous Wiccan covens through out the United States. Elizabeth has been welcomed and trained in many differing traditions and ceremonies with the Native American communities in both the United States and South America.

Elizabeth has been evaluated in closed university studies for her psychic abilities in the areas of remote viewing and prediction. She was evaluated well above the margin for profound abilities.

After many years of training and educating many privately, as well as making her services available to Hospice, Elizabeth is finally making her abilities available to the larger world. She is making available her gifts to give workshops on herbal knowledge, pathworking, psychic development, Chakra balancing, meditation, quantum physics and metaphysics, and theology. Elizabeth is also, at this time, giving private readings, lessons, and spiritual counseling.

You may extend an invitation to Elizabeth to travel to your location, event, or gathering and bring knowledge, support, and energy to engage the highest understanding and peace.

Elizabeth is a licensed Reverend and, as such, is available for ceremonial needs such as weddings and birth blessings. She will also perform clearings, cleansings, exorcisms, blessings, and protection.

Though she is currently in the process of writing her own book, Elizabeth has been published both nationally and internationally for her different articles and essays.
