BOOK OF SHADOWS
 








A Book of Shadows contains the spells, rituals, invocations, dreams, information and personal observations of a witch or group of witches. It is a personal document, written for and by its readers.


This is your Book of Shadows, not ours alone. We hope you will want to share your experience and knowledge with others by adding to this book. Please send your additions to  


Often a Book of Shadows begins with a book blessing. This poem from Silver Ravenwolf's To Stir a Magick Cauldron reminds us of who we are and why we keep this book.


I will serve the Great Goddess

And give reverence to the Great God

I am a Pagan

A stone in the ancient circle

Standing firmly

Balanced on the earth

Yet open to the winds of heaven

And enduring through time

May the old gods witness my words

Blessed be.




Bide ye the Wiccan Laws ye must,
In perfect love and perfect trust.
Eight Words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An' ye harm none, do as ye will.

What ye send forth comes back to thee
So evermind the Law or three,
Follow this with mind and heart,
Merry ye meet, and merry ye part.
