*Gifts
Of Aradia*
In the 14th century, Aradia taught that the traditional powers of a Witch would belong to
any who followed in the ways of the Old Religion. Aradia called these powers
"Gifts". She also stressed the point that these powers were the benefits of
adhering to the Old Ways and not the reason for becoming a Witch.
These are the powers:
To bring success in love.
To bless and consecrate.
To speak with spirits.
To know of hidden things.
To call forth spirits.
To know the Voice of the Wind.
To possess the knowledge of transformation.
To possess the knowledge of divination.
To know and understand secret signs.
To help cure disease.
To bring forth beauty.
To have influence over wild beasts.
To know the secrets of the hands.
