What is the Book of Shadows?
So what
is a Book of Shadows?
The Book of Shadows or BOS is the Wiccans notebook or personal
Spell Book. No two Books of Shadows should are same.
The idea of
the modern spell book probably comes from Gerald Gardner. Many
of the myths dates back to the time when Gardner first started
his 'Wiccan' Coven back in the 1940's. Wiccans copy their first
Book of Shadows by hand from that of their High Priest & High
Priestess. The book should constantly be added to and should
evolve as the knowledge and experience of the Witch evolves.
So what
does it look like?
It could look like anything. It could be an old dusty book or it
could be a note pad. They range from black leather covered,
handwritten to computer printouts kept in files. Your Book of
Shadows can look anyway you want it to, the more work you put
into it, the more special it will be to you!
