Diana's Gospel: Theistic Witchcraft in Charles G. Leland's Aradia

Diana's Gospel offers a reexamination of Charles G. Leland's Aradia, 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.

This monograph, by a votary of Goddess Diana, offers an emic perspective on the witchcraft unveiled in Charles Godfrey Leland's seminal tome, Aradia or the Gospel of the Witches, 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.

Diana's Gospel presents a systematic argument that Leland's Aradia 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 La Vecchia Religione, 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.
