Patricia Crowther gives several different spellings for Aradia in her books...infact it is a assumption that Aradia was ever the Garnerian Goddess based on lelands works. There are infact very traditional British versions. Most misconceptions come from the Gardnerian silence......one should not break ones oaths without consequence. And if they do you should probably question everything they say for they are obviously liars.

@mreyespy13 Did you really need go down the oath breaking road? Until now I don't think anyone has suggested that this broke any kind of oath in regards to Wica. As far as I know you can still by the CD which this is on, on Amazon. Or did I misunderstand your comment?

[mreyespy13]

@42orius i think u misunderstand what i am saying: There is little information out about the Tradition because of the Oaths. (Secret names ect) I am a fan of Patricia and most the original movers and shakers. I have personally found that there are allot of assumptions made about Gardnerian Witchcraft partually due to the fact that its members do not or cannot speak out about such matters. I actually own this CD i wish the interviews were clearer.....

@mreyespy13 OK gotcha were on the same page now. I wish the interviews were clearer also however sense they were mostly recorded in the 50's I guess we get what get and have to live with it.

Thank you for uploading this. This brought back memories of a Gardnerian Coven I worked with briefly years ago. The High Priestess was from Pat Crowther’s Coven. They inherited Pat’s strange pronunciation of Aradia, with their Northern accents, it really did sound like they were saying “our Ada” . I remember one of them talking to Ronald Hutton, and the name was mentioned. He said; “our Ada?... Oh! You mean Aradia!”

@cornishwitchcraft Thanks for the comment. I had never herd this pronunciation of Aradia either until I first herd this close to 20 years ago. The CD that I have this on has many gems along with this there is a recording of Pat singing Lord of the Dance accompanied by someone (her or Arnold maybe?) playing the accordion. I have thought about making a video for that as well.

@42orius The way I was taought and first heard it chanted was just like "our Ada".  BB.

@42orius As far as going down an Oath road well i did not make those rules nor did you...but i would say that is on ones own integrity. And i do not assume you or anyone on this page ever made an Oath to anything therefore i would have no reason to bring it up about a video :)

anyone have the lyrics of this song ? because it seems to me to know this song, but the lyrics is in French (I'm French and I understand little English oral)

[coracleman]

it's a common pronounciation in 'elder' covens, as are words like 'deosil '- commonly said as 'dee-oh- sil' today but originally pronounced 'jessil'.

Interesting video! I was searching for chants to Aradia. I've never worked with her energies before. Thanks for the upload!
