This monograph, by a votary of the 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 the Witches, Diana offers us a path that’s liberating, piety, and salvation. The author takes readers on a tour of La Vecchia Religione, empowering them to practice it as solitary devotees or members of a coven. Along the way, they’ll encounter Diana’s consort, the Witches’ Devil, and their daughter, Aradia, who are almost as central to the dianic religion as she herself.
