Under the will of the gods: Living the Rasenna Way
Step into the sacred world of the Etruscans and explore their gods, divination practices, and ancestral wisdom that influenced the foundations of later Mediterranean religions. This guide blends historical insight with practical spiritual exercises, inviting you to honor the divine, connect with the forces of nature, and engage with ancient ritual in a living, personal way. While much of the Etruscan spiritual landscape remains veiled by time, this book encourages reflection, devotion, and the cultivation of a meaningful modern practice rooted in the traditions of the Rasenna.
