Strega & Wolves Experience - Tuscany
We invite you to let the wild spaces of Tuscany rejuvenate your spirit on this unique pilgrimage celebrating the story of Aradia, La Bella Pelegrina and goddess Diana.
​
Your adventure starts in the Etruscan town of Volterra, the birthplace of Aradia -'Messiah of the Witches'. Visit the Mandringa rock, where witches once gathered to dance and celebrate the sabbath, the Balze cliffs and the ancient stone gateway to the city 'Porta di Diana'.
Next you will head south to explore Populonia, an Etruscan necropolis nestled above the blue Etruscan coast. The journey continues to the wild Maremma national park, and the remains of a Roman temple devoted to Diana that may have been associated with Aradias followers during the medieval era.
Unwind in the therapeutic waters of natural hot pools before visiting a labyrinth enclosing an Etruscan king, and one of the most interesting and well maintained painted tombs in Italy.
The tour concludes at Lake Nemi, on the ruins of the Diana Nemorensis temple. Once an enormous sanctuary associated with nature, hunting and fertility.
Here you may be lucky enough to see or hear the call of an Apennine wolf, a majestic animal associated with Diana. Wolves have made an incredible comeback in central Italy, illustrating nature's inherent ability to restore and heal herself when provided with the opportunity.

Will you answer her call?
"She stretched out her legs on the soft grass, putting down her pen and resting her hands upon the journal in her lap. Her ears tuned into the gentle sound of women’s laughter in the distance and it urged her to relax further into the large smooth stone behind her back.
​
As the cool rock kissed the skin on her shoulders, her bones began to remember. She became in tune with the energy of this site her goddess worshiping ancestors chose many millennia ago. Everything about this island, this pilgrimage to the feminine, this exact place, she felt deeply within her own humanity.
​
Closing her eyes, she tilted back her head to feel the warmth of the sun on her face... and when she opened them again, she caught a glimpse of the shadowy moon peeking out from behind a cloud. She whispered to herself, “there she is.” She let out an unexpected and long needed sigh, relishing in her knowing that this is exactly where she needed to be."
The longing comes when one realizes one has given scant time to the mystic cookfire, or to the dreamtime, too little time to one’s own creative life, one’s life work, or one’s true loves.
