I think that I might have been an Etruscan in a former life, to sum up briefly just who the Etruscans were, they were an ancient civilization whom dwelled in Italy before the Roman Empire, and in fact it is said that the Etruscan's helped lay the foundations for Rome. They had thier own religon, thier own beleifs and culture.
The reason I came to beleive that I might have been one of the Etruscans is becasue a while back my sister had bought me this book on Itallian Witchcraft and I just started reading through it a bit. And there is this branch of Italain Witcraft known as the Tuscan Witchcraft, and in the Tuscan tradition there are reminents of the Etruscan religon which was passed down through the generations. As I was reading of some of the things in which they beleived and practiced, I could not help but to notice some similarities in the samethings in which I have come to practice and beleive, things which I have beleived before I even heard anything about the Etruscans, or about Italian Witchcraft, and things which I just sort of naturaly formulated on my own and are really quite unique and not nessciarly just principles common to Paganisim, as the Tuscan Witchcraft has a reptuation of being quite strange and unique even by the strandards of Italian Witchcraft and yet there were some strong parrelles to my own practice and beleif found within. So I think it must have somehow inherenently been passed down to me.
