	Charles Godfrey Leland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Leland, Charles Godfrey
		Leland was conscious of the significance of his birth date as it is contributed to the ascension of the Virgin Mary into heaven, and also to the ascension of Buddha.
		Leland discovered that Maddelena was a Witch and quickly employed her to assist him in gathering material for his research of Italian Witchcraft.
		Leland described the Italian Witches that he met as "living in a bygone age." Apparently it was an age that he longed for himself.

	§4. Charles Godfrey Leland. IX. Minor Humorists. Vol. 17. Later National Literature, Part II. The Cambridge ...
		Charles Godfrey Leland (1824–1903), a native of Philadelphia and a graduate of Princeton, after three years of student life at Heidelberg and Munich and three days as captain of a barricade in the Paris revolution of 1848, found the practice of law in the city of his birth a listless occupation.
		Leland revealed the demoralization of an over-complex European in the rarefied social atmosphere of the New World.
		But Leland was not merely a humorist, and to deplore the loss of what he left undone is at once to be ungrateful for his many services in other fields and to express the highest appreciation of what he contributed to international comedy.

	The Witches Way - Modern Witchcraft Practices
		Leland was fascinated by folk lore and folk magic even as a child, and went on to author such important works as Etruscan Roman Remains, Legends of Florence, The Gypsies, Gypsy Sorcery, and Aradia; Gospel of the Witches.
		Leland soon discovered that Maddalena was a Witch, and employed her to help gather material for his research on Italian Witchcraft.
		One of the most puzzling aspects of Leland's writings on Italian Witchcraft is the fact that he goes back and forth between speaking of Witchcraft in common Christian stereotypes of the period and portraying Witches as "good" and "noble" followers of the goddess Diana instead of the devil.

	Charles Godfrey Leland Collection
		Charles Godfrey Leland was born on 15 August 1824 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Charles and Charlotte Leland.
		Leland was also very interested in the mysterious and occult, as well as gypsy lore and language.
		Several of the letters by Leland were written while he was a student at the College of New Jersey (one gives a very entertaining account of his suspension in 1842); and others refer to the formation of the American Students' Union, a group which fostered social correspondence between the classes of different universities.

	Of Glooskap's Birth
		When I returned to Leland's Kluskap-Malsum story, it was with the idea of quickly discrediting the story (by means of this incongruity bolstered by internal textual evidence), so I could move on to the question of why Leland did what he did.
		The process of how Leland came to compose "Of Glooskap's Birth...", indeed his story- gathering and editing methods in general, serve to remind students of Native American religions to be careful, even suspicious, when considering sources, and to be tentative about their findings.
		Leland, of course, was not concerned a hundred years ago with this problem since, according to popular wisdom based on the culmination of a history of conquest, "the Indian" was destined to extinction.

	Charles Godfrey Leland: Poems
		Chiefly known as the author of "Hans Breitmann's Ballads," Charles Godfrey Leland had not only a rich vein of humor, but was a scholar of wide cultivation and actively identified with movements to further the knowledge of the arts on the part of the people.
		In his early youth he practiced law, but literary drew him into other channels, and in 1869 he took up his residence in London and gave himself chiefly to the study of folk-lore.

		Leland travled the Italian country-side and recorded many of the tales from rural folks, some of which still practice the "old religion" both overtly and covertly within the Roman Catholic structure.
		Along with Leland's Aradia; Gospel of the Witches, this book presents the foundation of many concepts now found in modern Wicca, including a full moon sabbat, the worship of a god and goddess by witches, ritual use of cakes and wine, and witches as healers and magic users.

	Mystical Gate -- Poised on the Edge of Known Reality
		When Charles Godfrey Leland published Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches at the end of the nineteenth century as the crowning product of his Italian researches of the 1880s and 1890s, he believed he was preserving what remained of an ancient but dying tradition before it was too late.
		Leland befriended one particular witch, Maddalena, who spent the next ten years copying down their traditions and rituals.
		Leland and Maddalena had no idea the impact they would have upon the future practice of witchcraft.

		Leland had no Gaelic, not even the Scottish version of Irish.

		Max’s role in this company is unclear, and he may have been confused with his brother on occasion; performers remember him as playing an important part in recruiting talent like Gottschalk and Racovita (G. Chase 296, Racovita 336).

		The Etruscans are one of history's great mysteries—a sophisticated society that flourished at the heart of the Classical world and then vanished, leaving relatively few archaeological remains and few records of their culture.
		Leland retrieves elements of Etruscan culture from the living popular traditions of remote areas of the Italian countryside where belief in “the old religion” survives to an astonishing degree.
		Recorded when many of these secret beliefs and practices were fading away, this remarkable volume deals with ancient gods, spirits, witches, incantations, prophecy, medicine, spells, and amulets, giving full descriptions, illustrations, and instructions for practice.
