Then we’ll trail into Rome and discover the links between the Egyptian goddesses and the Italian goddesses, Diana and her daughter Aradia.
From there we’ll go deep into Europe and visit with Freya, a Norse goddess also famous for her association with the cat.

Aradia - Gospel of the Witches by Charles G. Leland
When Charles Leland published Aradia at the end of the nineteenth century he did not realize that he was providing the key source-book which would be the missing link between ancient and modern witchcraft.
Not only did Aradia inspire Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, and other founders/revivers of twentieth century neopagan witchcraft, it continues to serve as a reference, check point and inspiration for others.

 Polytheist Wicca
I practice Gardnerian Craft and I believe in many gods and goddesses - not as aspects of 'Deity' or of the masculine and feminine principles, but as individual deities.
The focus of the Craft upon specific deities (Aradia and Cernunnos) I regard as being devotion to the patron deities of the Craft.
I think the nature of the gods is beyond our perceptual capabilities - we can perceive one facet of their natures, but beyond that their magnitude is difficult for us to apprehend, because they live in more than the usual number of dimensions, and they perceive things differently to us.
