Reprinted after 100 years, this classic is a must for Diana worshippers. Leland collected living traditions in the Italy of his time, recorded here and in his other works (all worth reading). It reveals much about the worship and lore of Diana, Aradia, and others. It also reveals itself as an important source of contemporary practice in witchcraft.Charles Godfrey Leland was a foremost scholar of Gypsy sorcery. In the late 19th century he thoroughly investigated every aspect of Italian Gypsy witchcraft, and he was a friend of a very knowledgeable and practicing wicth who gave him much of the material published in this small booklet, first published in 1899.
For anyone interested in the Old Religion, this unsual book should prove of interest.
