Yet, Aradia has always been a controversial work, both among witches and scholars. Researchers question the truthfulness of its content. Is it fiction or a historical forgery by Leland? Witches \u0026 pagans opposed it for theological and ethical reasons, since some of the myths told in this work involve Lucifer and Cain, but also Diana and Aradia. A seemingly problematic syncretism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome of the spells it covers work by threatening or compelling deities and spirits, and in the revolutionary fervor of the time it was written, it does not even shy away from teaching that the poor and oppressed should use poisons to destroy their feudal overlords. Despite all this, it remains a magnificent, rich, and fascinating work for any wiccan, any pagan, any witch or wizard, or anyone interested in the origins of witchcraft...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis first version in our language is by Philippe Pissier, also a translator of Aleister Crowley.
