Voodoo, curses, witchcraft. We’ve all heard the stories about magic and mischief.  But growing up Italian, you may have experienced these kinds of things more intimately than most. Sicilian curses have been around forever. If you are Italian, it’s most likely a thing you grew up with but may not know a lot of information on them. 

What are they? How do you get rid of them? How did it all start? Not all of the superstitions are bad, though. There are Italian good luck charms ridden throughout these stories, too. Hidden within the mundane of this world are hints of a life you never realized were a reality for some people.
