With that in mind, a Book Of Shadows should have some allure, respect, appreciation and beauty. I however personally believe that magick is special. As for the magick itself, a notepad, or ringed binder will surely work as well as any other volume. It depends on your own personal choice and of course how you are treating the journal in the eyes of the future. They can be made in any which way you feel is right. One of the great things about these books is that they are so personal.
So how should you make your Book Of Shadows?
As said above, how awful it is when crucial information is lost or destroyed simply out of secrecy or greed. Thirdly, it should help preserve the magick for the future. As well as what they are searching for and aiming to do. All magicians, witches and wizards are always researching and reflecting upon what they have done. Secondly, a Book Of Shadows tracks magical and shamanic research. It also includes ways to reverse the spell in case things go wrong or its work is completed. This includes how it is cast, with what utensils or ingredients, progress and results. Most importantly, it keeps a record of all spells and the associated details for them. So for the most part, a Book of Shadows is mainly used for three things: Personally, I feel this is a tragedy and much magickal wisdom and important information is lost this way.
This is usually done by burning them so that no one else can get their hands on them. Sometimes over centuries! Other times however depending on the secrecy of the owner, these books are purposely destroyed. Therefore having the potential to build up, record and acknowledge extremely powerful and magical ideas and items. Contents vary but mostly they contain spells, rituals, observations, thoughts, reflections, creeds and stories and poetry.Ī Book Of Shadows can also be passed on through the generations. This journal can be the record of an individual, a group or coven and even a family. It keeps a record of and contains details of a witch, wizard or magicians progression throughout their life. To phrase it very lightly, a Book Of Shadows is a type of magical journal that plots a path. Hence many people think that this particular book of shadows is the only one and merely part of the story. TV shows such as the successful “Charmed” series and the movie Blair Witch Project among others.įor example in Charmed, the three sisters heavily used their own family Book Of Shadows throughout the show. This is partly because of the references to it in popular culture. There’s a difference of opinion when it comes to determining and describing what a Book of Shadows (or Grimoire) and Book Of Shadows spells actually are.
