Book of Shadows
It is believed that over the course of time many witches haved kept a book a shadows (grimoire). This should be an accurate record of all the magickal hands-on things you do. It should also hold research information, facts on subjects, words of wisdom, insights you've had, spells, rituals etc.

A witch's Book of shadows is a very personal thing, much like a diary. They are often written in magickal alphabets to keep others from reading them. However many Books of Shadows become family heirlooms and are passed down from generation to generation.

The spells and rituals included in this online Book of Shadows are not included in my own personal Book of Shadows. You should also remember that the most powerful and effective spells are those which you write yourself. Of course that does not mean that the spells listed here are usless. Before trying any spells you should be sure to read them over a few times, make sure that you understand what everything means. NEVER do a spell that contains anything that you do not fully understand!!

If you are a beginner then I suggest that you try simple spells first. Do not get discouraged if it appears that teh spell did not work. There is no set timeframe that states how long it will be before a spell takes effect. I also recomend that you do spells at the approperate time based on days, moon cycles etc.For more beginner spell tips click

The spells , rituals etc. found here can be used for one of two things. As a guide or outline when writing your own spells. They can give you ideas of things to use or what to say. Or these spells can also be used as they are (once you add your own touch, naturally).

ALWAYS be mindful of
The Rule of Three. Before you do any spells consider the effects it will have on others and be prepared to accept the consequences.
