Aradia

Aradia is a figure from Italian folklore and modern pagan traditions, often regarded as a goddess or messenger associated with witchcraft and empowering women. She originated from Charles Godfrey Leland's 1899 book "Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches," where she is depicted as a benevolent teacher guiding oppressed people to resist injustice through magic and spiritual knowledge. In contemporary paganism and Wicca, Aradia symbolizes the empowerment of feminine divine energy, tradition, and the connection between humans and the spiritual realm, serving as an inspiring emblem of resistance and spiritual authority.
