THE BOOK OF SHADOWS

Lady Sheba

When I first read this book, my reaction was to mentally protest on the harshness expected from non-Witches. But... the words that introduce us to the pages were written for protection ~ to keep Witches secret and thus safe.
Lady Sheba had many reactions when this book was first published (1972) ~ Witches proclaiming that she had told of their secrets.
To me, this book is the 'Old Ways' with a true Wiccian touch. Lady Sheba passed to the Summerland several months ago (I write this in September, 2002), and this book has been re-published. It contains everything a Wiccian should know when first beginning, but is also a magnificent reference for the more seasoned Witch. Based more for Covens than the Solitary, it is still a good book to have around, and includes:
THE LAWS
THE RITUALS
THE SABBATS
If you can find a copy of this book, buy it!
