Book review: Aradia A Modern Guide

Hello pornies. I hope you are feeling great. Yesterday I had a rough time, but there were two nice suprises waiting for me at the end of the day! I can only say that this spiritual fating is giving results, and it's aking me feel nearer to my Godds, especially to the witches' Messiah, Aradia. Today I want to speak about her, or more specifically about Aradia: A Modern Guide to Charles Godfrey Leland's Gospel of the Witches, by Craig Spencer. Thanks to Llewellyn Publications for the copy! You rock, people.

First published in 1899, Aradia or the Gospel of the Witches is a fascinating record of Charles Godfrey Leland's view of Italian folk magic as told to him by hereditary Italian witches. Craig Spencer's Aradia is a new translation of the original Italian text and includes a full reprint of Leland's own words as well as notes, analysis, and commentary to help you better understand the classic manuscript and the magical practices within its pages. Aradia also includes hands-on instructions for a unique magical practice based on Leland's remarkable glimpse of 19th-century craft lore. This magical guide is designed to help you develop, expand, and enhance your current craft practices. With exercises and rituals inspired by the original manuscript, this book shares a wholly unique approach to witchcraft that hearkens back to authentic practices of an earlier era.

I had several doubts and questions about Aradia when I read the Gospel for the first time several years ago. Although not all, Spencer answered a big lot of my doubts by interpreting the Gospel and explaining what certain chapters are about, what they offer to the Witch and how to incorporate those teachings in our lives.

There are a couple of ideas I don't agree with, but that's the point of religious talking: They make you disguss about what you think and compare ideas. This modern guide will do that for sure witht he readers, pormpt several discussions and make everyone wonder about its messages.

What I liked the most is that Craig managed to make all the analysis simple and entertaining. There were ups and downs along the way, but the general ideas are right on point and I'm sure many readers will like to get their hands in this book as soon as possible.
