| how to start a book of shadows: Book of Shadows Phyllis Curott, 2013-07-03 Since Phyllis Currot first published Book of Shadows, the story of her spiritual journey and initiation as a High Priestess in the Wiccan community, Witchcraft has captured America's imagination as a theme for fiction, television shows, and films. Now America's highest-profile Witch returns to dispel more myths and misrepresentations of her faith, and to share a practical guide to the beautiful spiritual rituals and philosophies behind Wiccan tradition. Rich with enchanting stories from Currot's own experiences and detailed advice for creating potions, working with Nature, and finding the Divine within, Witch Crafting is much more than just another superficial recipe book. Curott's unique guidebook integrates the inspiration of religious wisdom with sound, practical information. Witch Crafting reveals how to: incorporate Wiccan practices into your daily life; master the secret arts of effective spell casting; create sacred space and personal rituals; perform divinations for insight and success; and tap the magical power of altered states, such as dreaming meditation, prayer, and trance. Perfect for beginners or seasoned practitioners, Witch Crafting is the ideal handbook for anyone seeking to unlock the divine power that makes real magic happen, and to experience the power and gifts of the universe more fully. |

| how to start a book of shadows: Wicca Book of Shadows Lisa Chamberlain, 2015-09-30 Everything You Need to Know About Wicca, from Best-Selling Wicca Author Lisa Chamberlain It is estimated that there are over 1 million practicing Wiccans around the world today. But what is it that has made these people turn their back on the formal, structured religions that encompass the majority of the Western world? In our modern, high-pressured world, many of us fail to take notice the sheer beauty of the natural world surrounding us. In many ways, this is a travesty: the world we live in today seems so completely distant from the one our ancestors lived in, a world where humans and nature were at one, their existence intertwined in the natural cycles of life. Wicca is a new way of life, a religion that takes you back to a more simple time, before the invention of the high-tech gadgetry we see all around us. You will learn to live and appreciate the natural world that surrounds you, celebrating the intricate changes in the seasons and everything they bring - from the bounties of the Summer harvest, to the cold and darkness of the Winter months, as Mother Nature rests in preparation for the next explosive cycle of life that Spring brings. Wicca is a re-incarnation of the very earliest religions, long pre-dating Christianity. Wiccans celebrate and share many of the same beliefs that these early people held, and try to embrace their way of life, all while remaining fully-functional in today's modern world. Getting Started as a Wiccan If you're sold on this new, exciting, peaceful way of life, that's great! Good to have you on-board. Unfortunately, and despite this commitment, this is where many people get stumped. One of the biggest questions I hear would-be Wiccans ask: how do I start practicing Wicca? The truth is, there is no right answer. If you endeavour to learn as much as possible about this religion, follow the core principles (for example, the Threefold Law), and revere the natural world surrounding you, as far as I'm concerned, you're a Wiccan. If you're just starting out, I'm sure this vague answer is of little help to you! That's why I set out to write this mini-series of books, titled Practicing the Craft. In this particular book, you'll learn everything you need to know about Wicca Book of Shadows - what they are, their history, and what to include in your own Book of Shadows. Wicca Book of Shadows Practicing magic isn't compulsory for Wiccans, however many people are inevitably attracted to the religion by the potential to positively change their lives for the better. As such, spellwork is one of the most discussed parts of being Wiccan. For those wanting to start practicing magic, keeping a Book of Shadows is a good starting point. A Book of Shadows is the ideal place to document your Wiccan journey, write down detailed spell outlines, and write any other information that may help you going forward. Because it contains all of your spells, many Wiccans will take their Book of Shadows into the circle during spellwork, too. Having a beautiful, leather-bound book will make the spell crafting process far more authentic - though you can use any book you like for constructing your own book. Due to the contents, many Wiccans are very private about their Book of Shadows. As such, you will probably want to take proactive steps towards protecting your book. This guide includes several privacy tips, as well as a dedicated spell for protecting your book. In other words, Wicca Book of Shadows will teach you everything you need to know to construct your own Book of Shadows, today! Would You Like to Know More?

| how to start a book of shadows: The Book of Shadows Brittany Nightshade, 2016-04-26 EDIT: Updates for 2017! Added more spells, illustrations and a glossary. I compiled this Book of Shadows from a collection of spells I have been using since I started down my path. This book contains over 100 spells, a list of runes, how they can be used in spell casting and even crafting your own spells. I've collected these spells from several different sources, mostly from witches I have met in my travels and covens I have been a part of. I've tweaked a few of these spells to fit my needs from time to time and you can do the same as the words aren't what give the spells power, your energy is what really matters, so feel free to do the same and change what you want to suit your own needs. The craft of Magic is a constant fluctuating living thing and our ancestors have borrowed, changed, and made from scratch what we practice today. I hope this book helps you grow as a person and a spellcrafter. -Brittany Nightshade-Brittany Nightshade |

| how to start a book of shadows: Book of Shadows Brittany Nightshade, 2016-11-16 Merry meet! I'm Brittany Nightshade of the Atrum Angelus coven. I have spent many years traveling and learning about the Craft of Magick. One area of Magick that is typically shied away from by practitioners is Black Magick. The Rule of Three amongst other things such as the Wiccan Reed's validity have been debated for decades and it's considered taboo by the majority of the community. That being said it is still openly practiced and I myself find The Dark Arts to be a magnificent way to reach your full potential. I've taken the section of my Book of Shadows pertaining to Black Magick, brushed it up a bit and added some spells from a few of my coven sisters in hopes to present them and make them as accessible as possible to anyone who wishes to walk The Left Hand Path. I've also included some basic information on Runes and a glossary for commonly used words related to Witchcraft towards the end of the book. I've tweaked these spells to fit my needs from time to time and you can do the same as the words aren't what give the spells power, your energy is what really matters, so feel free to do the same and change what you want to suit your own needs. Let the rituals be the vessel that carries your enemies to their demise. |

| how to start a book of shadows: Magic in Western Culture Brian P. Copenhaver, 2015-09-09 The story of the beliefs and practices called 'magic' starts in ancient Iran, Greece, and Rome, before entering its crucial Christian phase in the Middle Ages. Centering on the Renaissance and Marsilio Ficino - whose work on magic was the most influential account written in premodern times - this groundbreaking book treats magic as a classical tradition with foundations that were distinctly philosophical. Besides Ficino, the premodern story of magic also features Plotinus, Iamblichus, Proclus, Aquinas, Agrippa, Pomponazzi, Porta, Bruno, Campanella, Descartes, Boyle, Leibniz, and Newton, to name only a few of the prominent thinkers discussed in this book. Because pictures play a key role in the story of magic, this book is richly illustrated. |

Do you want to start practicing magic? Through this book, Luna Lovegood, takes you through the world of wiccan practices and has tried to provide an unbiased approach, though undoubtedly her own experiences as a practicing wiccan might have influenced certain sections of this book. Just like a practitioner of meditation, yoga, or physical exercise, who changes the inner workings of their mind and body through regular practice, so does a witch align themselves with the natural world around them. Such is the nature of Pagan religions, including Wicca. The world of magic is full of immeasurable potential. There are thousands of spells in existence, for every purpose you could possibly imagine. In this book, you will find spells and other magical workings that can bring positive experiences into your life. Each spell contains clear instructions, but you can personalize the work as you see fit, using your own sensibility. Since time immemorial, hopeful lovers have tried spells and potions of all sorts in order to bring them their one true love. In this book you'll find spells for attracting romantic love into your life, but also workings related to friendship and family relationships, which are equally important sources of love in a balanced life. Witches know that we can attract money from unforeseen places into our lives through the use of focused intention, and you'll find spellwork here for doing just that. But cash is not the only form of abundance. Opportunities for growing future wealth are also important, as are an abundance of friends, pleasurable activities, and healthy options for nourishing our bodies. To that end, you'll find spells for increasing business success, abundance in the garden, and even a spell for landing an important job, in addition to money-specific workings. Although it can be difficult to maintain a healthy and positive state of well-being in our fast-paced world, it's relatively easy to balance your own personal energy through spellwork that promotes motivation and endurance. In this section you'll find a range of approaches to reducing stress and increasing your access to the reservoir of positive energy available to you in your daily life. The energy of your environment is also crucial to your quality of life, so you'll find a few protection spells to enhance your physical and social environments and keep out unwanted energy. There are also some miscellaneous spells focused around tools sourced directly from nature, new ways to request information from the Universe, recipes for creating your own oil blends, and a set of magical workings based on the Moon's cycles. However, nothing in this inspiring, fascinating religion is set in stone. The great thing about Wicca is that you are free to come up with your own belief system. Start this journey with Luna, let her be the guide that will inspire you in the search for your own path. Don't Delay - Scroll up and click the BUY button! |

And after spending nearly a decade in the foster system, she has never quite felt like she belonged. In fact, for the first seventeen years of her life she didn't even know her last name. Night after night, she is plagued by a dream of a strange-looking door. Until finally, she stumbles upon that very door and is thrust into another realm, a place unlike anything she has ever seen.

Written by Gerald Gardiner in the late 1940's to early 1950's for his coven of Brickett Wood, it was written to guide beginning Wiccans. They used information from this book, adding and leaving out information to suit their own books. A Wiccan who joined Gardiner's coven and later a high priestess, Doreen Valiente, decided to rework Gardiner's original tome. She is credited with creating the Wiccan Rede and also contributed her own poetry to the publication. In earlier times, Wicca was mostly run by covens, which would have only one Book of Shadows, which was the responsibility of the High Priest or Priestess. However, today, Wicca has changed and often a coven will have its own Book of Spells while each individual Wiccan has their own singular Book of Shadows that they develop themselves. It is a highly personal book which reflects the individuality of each practitioner. Practitioners do not always belong to a coven and they will usually develop a Book of Shadows on their own. The Book of Shadows (BOS) is an item every Wiccan needs. It stores information on spells, rituals, materials, and knowledge you will need for your Wiccan practice and helps you start on your Wiccan path. It's important for Wiccans to create a Book of Shadows to store their knowledge. Take advantage of this great opportunity and learn how to create your own book of shadows! BLESSED BE! |
| how to start a book of shadows: Wicca for Beginners Dayanara Blue Star, 2015-01-22 Wicca is a term that was preferred since it is a neopagan form of witchcraft. Wiccans believe in the universal elements of air, fire, water, spirit and earth. These are elements that make up the Wiccan symbol of the pentacle. Wiccans have a belief that energies are both female and male and these energies are separate in their identities as well as powerful in their union. However these energies are honored equally. Many who practice Wicca usually identify with a particular deity, while there are other wiccans who will call on a God or Goddess who has the relevant powers for their particular spell only Many people follow Wicca because there are no rules. But the Wiccan rede states that An ye harm none, do as you will. This is a simple message that states that you are free to do as you wish as long as you do not cause hurt or harm to anyone. In this book you will learn: An Introduction to Wiccan Religion The History of Wicca What Is Wicca How Do I Get Started?
