St. John Chrysostom: Commentary on the Sages: Commentary on Job

“Diana greatly loved her brother Lucifer, the god of the Sun and of the Moon, the god of Light, who was so proud of his beauty, and who for his pride was driven from Paradise. . . . She spun the lives of all men; all things were spun from the wheel of Diana. Lucifer turned the wheel.” Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, presented here with extensive commentary and elucidation by folklorist Charles G. Leland, is one of the most important documents extant on the subject of European witchcraft, and has been immensely influential on the practice of modern occultism. Aradia is a fascinating document of authentic Italian Witchcraft as practiced in the 19th century.
