In ancient Etruscan times, the Lasa were known as small winged spirits of the woods & fields. In northern Italy they were considered a faery race and associated with the dead. This is similar to the Roman belief of the Lare as ancestral spirits. In Strega Tradition (Italian Witchcraft) the Lasa/Lare are spirits that are connected to the Strega through their ancient family ties and are also considered protectors of the Old Ways and the people who follow the ancient paths.
The shrine is a devotional piece where a flame can be lit (the flame is a symbol of Spirit and the Soul) and offering can be placed atop the shrine in gratitude and loyalty to the spirits that guard the family and it’s traditions. In honoring the ancestors through the hearthside shrine you are keeping the ties of witchcraft alive through the centuries. This piece is made of resin, measuring 6 1/2” W x 5 ½” H x 3 ½” D. The front depicts the Lasa as mentioned in the “Ways of the Strega by Raven Grimassi” as “The image of the Lar (singular for Lare) was usually a youthful figure dressed in a short tunic”. Here they stand in front of the hearth, guarding the sacred flame. The scrollwork above is in the image of seashells, which have a connection in Italian Witchcraft. Shells symbolize the womb of the goddess, the Moon’s association to tides of the Sea and Italy’s coastal region. Whether you are of Strega tradition or a worshipper of Faerie faith, this piece is a unique magickal item and truly a connection with ancient tradition.
