Dip below the ocean’s surface and you are soon confronted by forms of life that could not seem more foreign to our own: sea sponges, soft corals, and serpulid worms, whose rooted bodies, intricate geometry, and flower-like appendages are more reminiscent of plant life or even architecture than anything recognizably animal. Yet these creatures are our cousins. As fellow members of the animal kingdom — the Metazoa— they can teach us much about the evolutionary origins of not only our bodies, but also our minds.

If the history of the Earth were compressed down to a year, our species would arise in the last thirty minutes or so of the final hour.

Aradia remains one of the most influential and mysterious works ever written on la vecchia religione, the Old Religion of pre-Christian Italy. In this seminal text, folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland preserves the mythic narrative, ritual language, and liturgical practices of a tradition in which Diana is the primordial Goddess and Aradia (Herodias) is her incarnate daughter, teacher, and liberator. Witchcraft here is not superstition but a sacred inheritance, carried by the marginalized and kept alive through an unbroken thread of devotion.
