<p>This wonderful book describes the creation according to Italian witch-lore. We also read about the witch-meeting or sabbath (treguenda) and it contains many original magical recipes, like spells for love and good fortune. Diana is further connected to the Moon and the fairy world.</p><p>Where Leland&rsquo;s <em>Etruscan Magic and Occult Remedies</em> deals with the entire pantheon of old Italian gods and nature spirits, worshiped by the streghe, <em>Aradia</em> is focused on Diana or Tana, her daughter Aradia and Lucifer. Aradia, the queen of the Italian witches, or streghe is as Leland concludes: <em>&lsquo;evidently enough Herodias, who was regarded in the beginning as associated with Diana as chief of the witches. This was not, as I opine, derived from the Herodias of the New Testament, but from an earlier replica of Lilith, bearing the same name.&rsquo;&nbsp;</em></p><p>VAMzzz Publishing revised this book with a Post Scriptum,&nbsp;containing biographical info on Charles Godfrey Leland, his witch-informant Maddalena and historical proof the witch-tradition is indeed linked to 2000 years of Diana worship.
