A fresh approach to the classic text.

Craig Spencer presents vital cultural context and updated translations of Charles Godfrey Leland's classic book in Aradia: A Modern Guide to Charles Godfrey Leland's Gospel of the Witches (Expanded Edition). Passed to Charles Godfrey Leland through supposedly hereditary witches from Italy in the late 1890s, Aradia was one of the building blocks for British Witchcraft as we know it today. Through Spencer's in-depth commentary and analysis of the original work, contemporary value and rich historical narratives are revealed to anyone with a penchant for British Witchcraft's most formative texts.

Spencer presents Leland's original English manuscript with new interpretations, translations, and the restoration of forty lines of text that were left out of the original publication. This exploration of one of the world's most fascinating and enduring pieces of magical literature is sure to inspire and enrich your own journey along the spiritually profound path of witchcraft.
