Angitia, Italian Goddess of Healing and Magic

Presenting Angitia, Italian Goddess of Healing and Magic. One of the most famed sorceresses of Greek myth, she was a healer with knowledge of herbs as medicine and she had a reputation as a powerful psychic, snake charmer, and magician.  

Her followers were known to be astute fortune tellers and healers and she was so well loved and venerated, that when the Roman Christians conquered the area, the worship of Goddess Angitia  survived via the veneration of Catholic Saint San Domenico, who is also a healer and snake charmer, and to whom annual feasts are celebrated with live snakes to this day.   

Anigitia also brings with her the energy of “renewal” as the snake sheds it’s skin to rejuvenate, refresh and heal the old form as it sheds it’s skin and regenerates a new skin, in some cases, to better fit in/adapt to a changing habitat/circumstances. 

Angitia is a beautiful Goddess to add to your altar especially for those who resonate with being a healer, kitchen witch, herbalist, Shaman, medicine woman and for those seeking to renew and refresh! 

The Snake is the Creatrix of the universe. A woman skilled in snake medicine understands how to collaborate with the creative powers of the universe. The serpent power is life force. Having direct access to this energy and using it for the benefit of healing and community wellness is magic of the highest form.
