Love Spells - Spellbook: Book of Shadows (Grimoire)

Traditionally spells, formulae and rituals were recorded in a Grimoire, which is now known as a Book of Shadows.

The word Grimoire means ‘book of learning’, it came to mean the records kept by true practitioners of magic as they wrote down secret keys they discovered as they progressed along the path of initiation. The best known Grimoire was the translation of one made widely available at the beginning of the 20th century - that of King Solomon. This book was of great antiquity and traditionally is seen as the magical key to the Kabbalah. In thrush, it was the key to the Mysteries and has since formed the basis of other magical systems as we have seen when considering neo-paganism.

The first Book of Shadows is said to have been written by Gerald Gardner as he developed modern Wicca in the 1920s. The Book of Shadows does not serve as a diary, but reflects religious rituals, their modifications and any other workings that need to be recorded.

Both books were traditionally secret writings. Particularly in the case of the Grimoire, they might have been written in Runes, pictures or magical alphabets so that the contents were hidden from the uninitiated. The Book of Shadows follows the same principle, although obviously with modern communication much of what used to be hidden is more readily available.

Most solitary practitioners will treasure the records of their workings whether they choose to call it a Book of Shadows or a Grimoire. Either book becomes part of a rich tradition

Any self-respecting practitioner will both want, and need to keep a record off all these aspects of magic for future reference. The love spells witch will keep a special Book of Shadows for her love spells.
