First published in 1899, Aradia: Gospel of the Witches is Charles G. Leland’s influential account of Italian witchcraft, centred on the figure of Aradia, daughter of Diana, and the traditions he attributed to his informant Maddalena.

Its historical authenticity remains debated, but the book became a major source for twentieth-century Witchcraft and modern Pagan traditions. This Phoenix Publishing edition presents the original text in a compact paperback format.
