The book , which in addition to a preface and an appendix, consists of 15 chapters, contains rites, spells, spells and stories related to witchcraft, that are the basis of a counterreligion opposed to Catholicism and the dominant hierarchy.In the first chapter he explains how Aradia teaches his followers the practice of witchcraft. His first disciples were slaves who escaped the mastery of their masters to become thieves and to whom Aradia teaches witchcraft so that they persecute the oppressors and wicked people who inhabit the earth.In the following chapters we can find, among other things, the origin of Arad ia, Diana's daughter, and her relationship with her brother Cain and also practical explanations of how to make spells, amulets or the rituals to follow during the covens.One of the most curious spells is in chapter IV and serves to invoke Diana's favor through a bored stone that must have been found casually.

Among historians there are doubts about the veracity of the manuscript .This one, which was written in puno and lyrics by Maddalena Talenti herself, may be the transcription of an older manuscript, of an oral tradition or to deal with it was simply a fake.In any case, Leland considered it true and managed to edit it.When it came to public light, it was the basis for a new Neopagan religion that wished to sink its roots into a united medieval tradition to witchcraft.In the decade of the 50-60 of the twentieth century, it was published again and managed to influence the followers of neo-paganism, now practically disappeared.
