Dedicated to all things Goddess for over forty years, Patricia Della-Piana has respectfully serviced the ever changing scenes of the pagan community for many moons with due diligence and a glowing heart. Successful as a self published author with many varied titles to her credit as well as a healthy voice on forums worldwide as ‘Delia the Crone’ she pursues her path as a spiritual poetess and practicing Strega with daily joy and vigor.
Her “A Strega’s Grimoire: The Rituals” is a culmination of rituals suited to both group and solitary practice that lean in flavor towards Italian craft while also including several that apply to Wiccan application. Originally hand-crafted for friends and family, this published collection of rituals includes Solar and Lunar Rituals, a large gathering of Life Passage Rituals covering many of life’s pivotal, path moments, as well as recipes, instructions, suggestions and lists designed to further round out each ritual in process and performance.

Then there’s her new translation of Leland’s Aradia: “Aradia, Gospel of the Witches, Retold”, sure to garner compelling insights into this oft read, oft puzzling work. And coming soon: an illustrated Fairy Horoscope.
“I write every day, unless I’m undertaking a genealogy project. My genealogical studies revealed an ancestor who was an Inquisitor for the church, dignifying himself quite cruelly during the European Inquisition. Consequently, I feel the need to doubly glorify the Goddess in redress for his malevolence.
I also enjoy sewing, decorating, visiting my many grandchildren and my awesome children. I love to entertain my pagan friends and will find any excuse to cast a circle or cook for them.”
