Book Reviews of Aradia: Gospel of the Witches, Expanded Edition
Book Review: A Book for the Old Religion
Summary: 5 Stars
This book came in on time and was in excellent condition from Amazon. I was glad the seller had it as it is somewhat old (1899); however it was reprinted in 2009. The book is almost a required reading for those studying or a part of the Old Religion, or Wicca. Several of the passages used by Wicca come from "Aradia" and it contains several Myths of Diana and others that Wiccans find dear. Much information in here was used by Gerald Moore in his development of modern Wicca. Much of what the pursuit of Witchcraft is comes directly from or is derived from Aradia, by Charles G. Leland. I enjoy this book, get much from it, and hope others find it as well as I did on Amazon.
Summary of Aradia: Gospel of the Witches, Expanded Edition
Mario Pazzaglini, PhD, whose family origins on both sides are deeply rooted in the area where Aradia originated, has spent 25 years working on a new translation, giving a line-by-line transcription showing where Leland made his original errors. The new translation is then presented in the same format as the original edition (which is included here as well). Mario's research notes are also included.Chas Clifton has been studying witchcraft and the occult for over 25 years, and has a long list of published books to his name, including: The Modern Rites of Passage, Witchcraft and Shamanism, and Sacred Mask, Sacred Dance. He discusses the significance of Aradia on the revival of modern witchcraft. Robert Mathiesen, PhD, has been a member of the faculty of Brown University for over 30 years. During the last decade most of his research has been on the historical development of magical theories and practices from the Middle Ages to the present. He writes on the origins of Aradia, including the culture and religion of the area, as well as the difficulties involved in retranslating the book.
