What is a Book of Shadows?

Explanation and description of a witches book of shadows.

Witches and The Book of Shadows 

By Gypsy Beth

The Book of Shadows is a Witches Bible, a place where spells, rituals, and often inspirations are written. Traditionally most Witches hand write everything into their BoS, however in the high tech age of computers there are many modern witches who put their entire BoS on disc. There are even programs designed to format your computer Book of Shadows. Many Books of Shadow are handed down from past generations. I would recommend that if you are just starting one, you choose a very special and large journal, hard cover, or hand crafted wood, leather, or other sturdy material, rather than a spiral notebook, or writing tablet. This book should be planned with the intent of it being around for a long time and used often.

The BOS usually starts out with a Title Page%u2026and may be called something as simple as, My Book of Shadows or something more creative like, My Triple Moon Book of Inspiration. You should include a Dedication page dedicating your work to whichever Goddess, and/or God you recognize, and a Blessing page where you put a simple blessing spell for your Book of Shadows and all the writings within.

It might be a good idea to include a line or two about your book being invisible to non-believers, or some type protection, that will prevent ill events from snoops.

I highly recommend a table of contents, or index section, as you will find it difficult to locate a needed piece of information later on, when your book is full. A section on your chosen path, or your personal philosophy is a good addition.

Your Book of Shadows will usually contain a list of all celebration rituals, especially the Sabats, which are the major turnings of the year. Also you will probably include all the esbats and moon phases of the year. You may want to include a section for celebrating births, deaths, handfastings (marriages), and even add rituals for blessing a new home, a business or a new job. With all these special events, there are correspondences that go with them, such as deities, gems and minerals, herbs, oils, colors, astrological symbols, and planetary influences. As with most celebrations there will be certain foods, decorations, ect.

All designs on our Book of Shadows are wood burned by hand for everlasting beauty.

These Books of Shadows are hand crafted from solid wood and will last for generations, similar to items we found in grandma's attic. They are oak stained and rubbed with Danish oil to preserve their natural beauty.

Large Book of Shadows measures app. 12" X 8 1/2" and are made from solid wood.

Small Book of Shadows measures app. 9" X 5 3/4".

The beauty and durability of these Books will last for years to come

Each Book comes with 30 pages of blank high quality parchment paper. Two Brass binding pins, (aka Chicago Screws) bind the book together, and can be removed to add more pages as needed. The brass pins are fitted with a brass screw to allow for easy expansions. Currently we include a spacre, which may be removed with the addition of more paper. Longer binding pins are available at hobby and stamp collecting shops. Brass hinges are also used.

These boxes are hand crafted by DragonOak, "one who walks the pagan path". Dragonoak has studied methods of divination for over 20 years and now brings forth handcrafted items that are fitting for the field of divination.

Many designs are limited edition or "One of a Kind"

    Wow someone that actually knows what they are talking about. So many people think that wiccans in general are satanists, which is not the case. I also like what you did with this lense. Keep up the good work and thanks for the info. I write about ouija boards which might be of interest. http://www.ouijaboards.blogspot.com
