Aradia: Gospel of the Witches
Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches is an 1899 book by Charles Godfrey Leland. The book is an attempt to portray the beliefs and rituals of an underground religious witchcraft tradition in Tuscany that, Leland claimed, had survived for centuries until his discovery of its existence in the 1890s. Scholars have disputed the veracity of this claim. Still, the book has become one of the foundational texts of Wicca.

All books in the library are considered important texts which any student of the occult should study. The Libra Centre does not recommend them as statements of truth, simply as texts worth studying. It is important that each of us finds our own truth while respecting and learning from the truths of others. A broad background is vital to any student of the occult to enable the student to discern the truth while not throwing out great pearls of wisdom that may be found within. It is not necessary to agree with everything a person says, just the parts which make sense to you after you have listened carefully with respect.
