Publisher's Synopsis
Aradia Or The Gospel Of The Witches is a book written by Charles G. Leland in 1899. The book is a collection of Italian folk tales and spells that were passed down through generations of witches. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part being a narrative that tells the story of Aradia, a goddess who came to Earth to teach the witches of Italy how to practice their craft. The second part of the book is a collection of spells and rituals that were used by the witches in their daily lives. The book is considered to be one of the most important texts in modern witchcraft and has had a significant influence on the development of Wicca. It is a fascinating insight into the beliefs and practices of Italian witches during the 19th century and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of witchcraft.When a wizard, a worshipper of Diana, one who worships the Moon, desires the love of a woman, he can change her into the form of a dog, when she, forgetting who she is, and all things besides, will at once come to his house, and there, when by him, take on again her natural form and remain with him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
