WITH THESE EIGHT WORDS
THE WICCAN REDE FULFIL:
"AN IT HARM NONE, DO WHAT YE WILL."
**Each Book of Shadows from the Collection
is individually handcrafted and so they are all just a tiny bit
different, even though the basic design is the same. It depends
upon the shapes cut into the leather and the decorations attached, which
makes each one completely individual. The photos in this listing
are of books of the design nominated, although they may have slightly
different shapes in the leather. It is too time consuming to take
photos and do new listings for each individual book, so we just have one
listing for each design in the Collection. Please email
us if you have any queries or requests.**
All the books have the
following qualities:
Individual
designs and always unique, the

In Wicca, a book known as the Book of Shadows is used to record rituals and serves in some instances as a diary for the coven or solitary
practitioner. The first Book of Shadows was written by Gerald Gardner, although there is still much scandal concerning who actually wrote
it. Gardner supposedly received the Book of Shadows in fragmentary form during his initiation in
1939. Before Gardner, there is no known record of a Book of Shadows.
The name, Book of Shadows, is used to refer to the so called witch hunt days and the need for secrecy of the religion, and thus an allusion is made to practicing within the shadows.
The term Grimoire, derived from the word grammar, means essentially a book of learning and the name seems to make sense as a universal term for this book. The name
Grimoire is not the actual name which is used within any tradition. This name is used solely because the real name of the book is secret, and so it serves as a point of reference for the same item between traditions. The things which are written within the book are religious rituals, amendments to those rituals, and other things which have to do with the religion. Things related to magick are written in a different book. It does not serve as a diary.
Most of the time, this book is hand written by the individual. In some families, this book is copied from what is referred to as a Great Book. Each family may have their own name for such a book and still other families retain no book or written manuscript and are entirely dependant upon an oral tradition.
In most traditions, the Grimoire is composed by the individual, and the rituals contained therein are sometimes even written in runes (i.e. secret letters) or pictures so as not to be understood by someone else. The rituals themselves are based
on traditions and lore, but also contain individual flourishes as well.
