I recently began making my own Book of Shadows, which is a type of journal filled with a Wiccan's beliefs, spells, rituals, thoughts, and life lessons. It is actualy rather fun to do! And very easy. I just picked up a big hardback journal book from Biglots and started writing! I jot down things I have learned, the meanings of certain things, useful spells, and stuff like that!
A lot of Wiccans keep there Book of Shadows online for the benefit of other Wiccans. Also, depending on you type of Wicca, the Book may be keep public becouse its a clan work. I chose to keep mine private. I don't know why, I just feel it's easier to pour myself into the book if it isn't read by others. Besides, Wicca is supposed to teach us how to find our own Truth. Reading mine may be useful, but it won't necessarily teach you how to find your own Truth.
Thats one of the reasons I made this blog. I want to contribute to the Wiccan world, but I don't want to make my Book of Shadows public. So this blog is a collection of things I wish to share!
I will share my Book one day. I will pass it on to my future daughter or son. If I do not have any children then I will give it to one of my reletives. Preferably a child of my brothers', or one of my brothers so that they may put it on the internet for all Wiccans to use. I know I must pass on what wisdom and knowledge I have learned on Earth, I feel it is my duty to do so. So one day this will happen.
I have only just start out, and I am already finding that it is likely that my Book of Shadows will be many books. There is just so much information! I am having fun putting it together though :)
Blessed Be,
Domina Atramentarius
