Antonio Pagliarulo

Antonio Pagliarulo is the author of the forthcoming The Evil Eye: The History, Mystery & Magic of the Quiet Curse (Weiser Books, 2023). He writes regularly about spirituality, witchcraft and Paganism, and the intersection of folk magic with popular culture and religion. Published by The Washington Post, New York Daily News, Religion News Service, and The Wild Hunt, he wrote his first book, Rocking the Goddess: Campus Wicca for the Student Practitioner, as a college senior. His second book, American Witch: Magick for the Modern Seeker, was published a year later, both by Kensington Books under the pseudonym Anthony Paige. The son of Italian immigrants, Pagliarulo was schooled since childhood in the ways of Italian folk magic. As such, his practice draws from Paganism, Roman Catholicism, Evil Eye magic, and the tarot. Pagliarulo holds a BA in Sociology from Purchase College, State University of New York. He lives in Manhattan with his husband.
