At Grassano, a village in Italy’s South, an ancient magical practice aimed at mitigating the consequences of jealousy and bad luck, is used. The old women who perform the rituals have stirred opposing sentiments among the inhabitants of the village regarding the existence of divine forces beyond the dogmas of the official Christian religion.
