 The Ultimate Salvation Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
In Stregheria self-salvation is achieved by renouncing one's allegence to The Three Devils (God the Father, Jesus Christ, and Mary), and accepting Aradia de Toscano as the "savior" who came to offer freedom through Witchcraft to the poor and oppressed in a Christian-dominated society.
However it should be noted that "salvation" is not considered here a singular event (and as such the word "salvation" itself is typically avoided), but an ongoing process through which an individual seeks to save or liberate himself or herself from the Oppressors (the ruling, mostly Christian, upper-class).
Ultimately, Aradia is a teacher or guide, with each person being his or her own (potential) savior.

 Messiah (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In Herrera del Duque, close to Puebla de Alcocer (Badajoz, Estremadura), a girl of fifteen described ecstatic visions in which she talked to the Messiah, who took her to heaven where she saw all those who were burned seated in thrones of gold, and assured her of his near coming.
She (only known for us as the Maiden of Herrera) was enthusiastically proclaimed a prophetess, and such was the commotion caused by her visions that the Toledo Inquisition had her promptly arrested and burned together with many of her followers.
In Stregheria, Jesus Christ is believed to have been a sort of "evil messiah" or false messiah, while Aradia de Toscano is seen as the true savior who came to free the poor and the oppressed from the bondages of Christianity.
