Who are the Saints? How can folk practitioners and witches interact with and petition these beings that are well-known for being Catholic? How does Saint magic interact with folk magic that is syncretized with Catholicism, and can folks who aren’t Catholic even work with Saints?
Join Frankie Castanea for this virtual conversation into Saints as holy beings, energetic signatures, faces for earlier entities, and their role in Italian-American and other folk magics. We will discuss who the Saints are, how and why to approach as non Catholics, separating Catholicism from the Church, folk Catholicism as a method of folk magic, and what Saints to petition and when.
This class is perfect for those who have some hesitation around folk Catholicism and Saint magic, those interested in beginning to explore Saint work in their practice, and those looking for practical, folk-magic-centric ways of petitioning the Saints. We will talk further about utilizing Christian methods of talking to Saints, but also methods that stem from folk magic and folk Catholicism, beginning to incorporate Saints into your practice, and more.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Frankie Castanea, also known as Chaotic Witch Aunt, is a practicing folk witch, animist, Italian American folk practitioner, and spirit worker. They have been on a journey of reconnection to culture and ancestral practices for almost five years now, a practicing witch and diviner for almost a decade. Within this, they have found a passion for learning and teaching Italian-American ways of being, animism, ancestors, and spirit relationships. They have and continue to be a student of Lisa Fazio and Mary Beth Bonfiglio, and have, in the past, learned from Austin Toney of Cat and Cauldron. They learn from being in community with other Italian-Americans and folk practitioners, their own spirits, and are driven by their ancestors in almost all things they do, sharing their ways of reconnection and reconstruction via Instagram, Youtube, Patreon and their blog, Chaotic Folk Magic, through their website (chaoticwitchaunt.com). They run a small online shop of ancestral and folk magic guided wares, believes in the power of the color red, and reads tarot, Italian playing cards, and offers professional spell consultations at Ritualcravt in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. They are the author of two books, “Spells for Change” (2021), and their upcoming book “Ancestral Magic” (2025).
