Lasa

Lasa is also an alternate spelling of Lhasa

In Etruscan mythology, the Lasa (plural Lasas) were gods and goddesses who accompanied Turan, the god of love. They are usually, but not always portrayed in art as having wings. They were associated with mirrors and wreaths.

In Stregheria, the Lasa are the spirits of deceased witches. Often called "ancestral spirits", they offer guidance to whosoever calls upon them.
