Aradia - Regina di Fata (Queen of the Fae)

I first came across Aradia through ๐’œ๐“‡๐’ถ๐’น๐’พ๐’ถ, ๐‘œ๐“‡ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐’ข๐‘œ๐“ˆ๐“…๐‘’๐“ ๐‘œ๐’ป ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐’ฒ๐’พ๐“‰๐’ธ๐’ฝ๐‘’๐“ˆ, a book composed by the American folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland that was published in 1899. It contains what he believed was the religious text of a group of pagan witches in Tuscany, Italy that documented their beliefs and rituals.

Aradia's following in Italy was knows as Stregheria which is a branch of modern paganism that celebrates early Italian witchcraft. Its adherents say that their tradition has pre-Christian roots, and refer to it as La Vecchia Religione, or the Old Religion.

Aradia is the daughter of Diana and Lucifer. She represents equality, liberation, independence and celebrates witchcraft as a form of rebellion to liberate the oppressed. She teaches The Craft to witches to empower and enable them in times of desperation.

Aradia is known as the Champion of Witches - She is often described as the Witches Messiah, the saviour sent to Earth by the old gods to help their enslaved people to be liberated from the oppression of the Roman Catholic Church and the Italian upper classes.

She claims that witches have thirteen primary powers (and in no way does this limit them to more!) that she bestows upon her followers.

If you have never worked with this powerful Goddess, I can only encourage you to do so. She is powerful yet soft, disciplines you gently but holds you accountable and will bestow upon you the sacred thirteen gifts of The Craft for your love and devotion to Her.

Her scent is a mixture of earthy and light floral mist with an undertone of citrus. Her collection of offerings include Pillar candles in two sizes, Cauldron Candle, 7-Day Ritual Candle, Anointing Oil and Loose Incense Blend.
