Legend has it that Aradia, the daughter of the Goddess Diana, revealed the secret of the lemon to the oppressed women of the country (Italy), whom she taught magic and witchcraft. The lemon is connected with feminine power. Aradia taught the women divination, opening of hearts, raising fire, healing and Moonworship.
