I have known Aradia as the name of Goddess in Gardnerian traditional Wicca, however I have heard of an Italian Ethnic Coven that treats Aradia as a historical figure who brought and taught witchcraft to people under the oppression of the Catholic Church. Similar Italian mythology written about by Charles Leland (Which I have heard has been disputed over) claims Aradia was a Witch Queen who was born from Diana and the Sun God, who was referred to as Lucifer by Leland but due to the God's Latin origins he may have been Apollo. What I want to know is, who do you think Aradia is? Is she the Goddess? Is she the child of the God and Goddess? Or is she possibly a historical figure and even a witch hero? Or what do you think?
