The Witch Bible????
-
Excepted from the book Aradia or the Gospel of the Witches by Charles G. Leland. (This is the exact reproduction of the original version published in 1899. This story is also available in an expanded edition containing this original version, a new translation by Mario Pazzaglini, essays by Chas Clifton, Robert, Mathiesen and others, a forward by Stewart Farrar, a copy of a letter from Maddalena, and other information.)
Chapter 1
How Diana Gave Birth to Aradia
This is the Gospel of the Witches:
Diana greatly loved her brother Lucifer, the god of the Sun and of the Moon, the god of Light. who was so proud of his beauty, and who for his pride was driven from Paradise.
Diana had by her brother a daughter, to whom they gave the name of Aradia.
In those days there were on earth many rich and many poor.
The rich made slaves of all the poor.
In those days were many slaves who were curelly treated; in every palace tortures, in every castle prisoners.
Many slaves escaped. TYhey fled to the country; thus they became thieves and evil folk. Instead of sleeping by night, they plotted escape and robbed their masters, and then slew them. So they dwelt in the mountains and forests as robbers and assassins, all to avoid slavery.
Diana said one day to her daughter Aradia:
'Tis true indeed that thou a spirit art,
But thou wert born but to become again
A mortal; thou must go to earth below
To be a teacher unto women and men
Who fain would study witchcraft in thy school
Yet like Cain's daughter thou shalt never be,
Nor like the race who have become at last
Wicked and infamous from suffering,
As are the Jews and wandering Zingari,
Who are all thieves and knaves; like unto them
Ye shall not be....
And thou shalt be the first of witches known;
And thou shalt be the first of all i' the world,
And thou shalt teach the art of poisoning,
Of poisoning those who are great lords of all;
Yea, thou shalt make them die in their palaces;
And thou shalt bind the oppressor's soul (with power);
And when ye find a peasant who is rich,
Then ye shall teach the witch, your pupil, how
To ruin all his crops with tempests dire,
With lightning and with thunder (terrible).
And the hail and wind....
And when a priest shall do you injury
By his benedictions, ye shall do to him
Double the harm, and do it in the name
Of me,Diana, Queen of witches all!
And when the priests or the nobility
Shall say to you that you should put your faith
In the Father, Son, and Mary, then reply:
"Your God, the Father, and Maria are
three devils....
"For the true God the Father is not yours;
For i have come to sweep away the bad,
The men of evil, all will I destroy!
"Ye who are poor suffer with hunger keen,
And toil in wretchedness, and suffer too
Full oft Imprisonment; yet with it all
Ye have a soul, and for your sufferings
Ye shall be happy in the other world,
But ill the fdate of all who do ye wrong!"
Now when Aradia had been taught, taught to work all witchcraft, how to destroy the evil race (of oppressors), she (imparted it to her pupils) and said unto them:
When I shall have departed from this world.
Whenever ye have need of anything,
Once in the month, and when the moon is full,
Ye shall assemble in some desert place,
Or in a forest all together join
To adore the potent spirit of your queen,
My mother, great Diana. She who fain
Would learn all sorcery yet has not won
Its deepest secrets, them my mother will
Teach her, in truth all things as yet unknown
And ye shall all be freed from slavery,
And so ye shall be free in everything;
And as the sign that ye are truely free,
Ye shall be naked in your rites, both men
And women also: this shall last until
The last of your oppressors shall be dead;
And ye shall make the game of Benevento,
Extinguishing the lights, and after that
Shall hold your supper thus.

Well, no witch would really bother debating (IMHO)Originally posted by water_rat:why no such witches to debate such bible is true or false???
even so..history of Aradia,Gospel of all witches...is she queen of all witches??
forgive my ignorant
Coz you can ask 3 different witches about the origins of witchcraft or about their own beliefs, I'd say you're lucky if you can just get 4 different answers.
Aradia is more on Italian witchcraft if my memory fails me not. Stregha or Le Streghe. Mostly folklorish/natural magick if I am not wrong... Then again, do your own research coz I'm too lazy to do it for you... (hey, at least I'm honest)
Whether you believe in it or not, this book actually makes quite a good read... As for the validity... well... Depends on personal believes bah. -
hey En'

Aradia
Gospel of the witches by Charles G.Leland
A Book, New Translation by Mario Pazzaglini,Ph.D. & Dina Pazzaglini,with additional material by ChaS. Clifton,Robert Mathiesen & Robert E. Chartowich. Forward by Stewart Farrar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every graet book ahs its hidden history,which in many cases is an interesting as the book itself.So it is with Charles Godfrey Leland's Aradia,or the Gospel of the Witches.It was wriiten in 1897,but published only in 1899,when Legend was in his seventy-fifth year,almost at the end of his long life.
Leland's Life in Magic
Only a few days after his birth(August 15,1824), the Infant Charles Vanish from his Nursery,to the dismay of his family. The mystery was soon solved,however: he was discovered liying in his back in the attic,with a bible,a key and a knife on his breadt,and with lighted candles,money and a plate of salt at his head.This was the work of his old Pennsyl-vania-German nurse,a reputed mistress of the secret arts,to ensure that the child should rise in life,growing up to be a scholar and a wizard.
This happened in philadelphia-city already rich in mysteries and ligends of ghosts and witches and ominous portents-the capital of a state founded on religious toleration,in which seers and mystics,mystics,astrologers and Rosicrucians,had long found a safe harbor.Here young Leland could easily encounter Swedeborgains,Mesmerists and,in his young adult years, Spiritualists

The Charm of the Stones Consecrated to Diana
A Book, New Translation by Mario Pazzaglini,Ph.D. & Dina Pazzaglini,with additional material by ChaS. Clifton,Robert Mathiesen & Robert E. Chartowich. Forward by Stewart Farrar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To find a stone with a hole in it is a special sign of the favour of Diana.He who does so shall take it in his hand and repeat the following,having observed the ceremony as enjoined:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
Invocation to the Holy-stone.
I have found
A holy-stone upon the ground.
O Fate!I thank thee for the happy find,
Also the spirit who upon this road
Hath given it to me;
And may it prove to be my true good
And my good Fortune!
I rise in the morning by the earliest dawn,
And i go forth to walk throught(pleasant)vales,
Seeking for luck while onward still i roam,
Seeking for rue and vervain scented sweet,
Because they bring good fortune unto all.
I keep them safely Guarded in my bosom,
That none may know it-'tis a secret thing,
And sacred too,and thus i speak the spell:
"O vervain!ever be a benefit,
And may thy blessing be upon the witch
Or on the fairy who did give thee to me!"
It was Diana who did come to me,
All in the night in a dream,and said to me:
If thou ever keeep the vervain and the rue
Safe beside thee!"
Great Diana!thou
Who art the queen of heaven and of earth,
And of the infernal land-yea,thou who art
Protectress of al men unfortunate,
Of thieves and murderers,and of hast known
That their nature was not evil,thou,Diana,
Hast still conferred on them some joy in life.
Or i may truly at another time
So conjure thee that thou shalt ever be
In suffering uhtil thou grantest that
Which i reguire in strictest faith from thee!
