Diana's Gospel: Theistic Witchcraft in Charles G. Leland's Aradia, (Paperback)

<p><i>Diana's Gospel</i> offers a reexamination of Charles G. Leland's <i>Aradia</i>, revealing it as a complete Pagan religion centered on Goddess Diana, her consort Lucifer, and their daughter Aradia. This monograph resolves the text's contradictions, restores its theological depth, and presents a system of theistic witchcraft rooted in history, theurgy, and liberation.</p><p>This monograph, by a votary of Goddess Diana, offers an emic perspective on the witchcraft unveiled in Charles Godfrey Leland's seminal tome, <i>Aradia or the Gospel of the Witches</i>, published in 1899. It resolves the Gospel's internal contradictions, explores and amplifies its theological vision, suggests rituals, and addresses academic controversy that has plagued it in recent decades.</p><p><i>Diana's Gospel</i> presents a systematic argument that Leland's <i>Aradia </i>discloses a unique and complete religion, imparted by the Goddess to counter religious oppression from some mainstream faith practices. As Queen of Witches, Diana shows us a path that offers liberty, piety, and salvation. The author takes us on a tour of <i>La Vecchia Religione</i>, empowering us to practice it as solitary devotees or members of a coven. Along the way, we'll encounter Diana's consort, the Witches' Devil, and their daughter Aradia, who are almost as central to the Dianic religion as she is herself.</p>
