New Worlds Isse: NW014
By: Dorothy Morrison
A Book of Shadows is a
Witch’s personal collection of spells, symbols, ritual guidelines,
and personal notes. As useful as it is to have a guidebook of this
sort, it is often difficult to know where to begin compiling your own
Book of Shadows, and what to include.
The Craft Companion, a
journal that complements Dorothy Morrison’s new text on Wiccan
philosophy and practice, The Craft, can help you find your starting
point and guide you through the process of creating your own Witch’s
book.
The Craft Companion’s
spiral-bound, journal-style format with lined pages gives you plenty
of room for your own magical notes and planning. Each page includes a
short prayer or meditation, followed by space to add your own notes
and thoughts.
A unique assortment of
more than 100 short spells and affirmations is designed to spark
creativity and further you along the spiritual path. This journal also
includes the Wiccan Rede, a glossary, and an index.
Dorothy Morrison’s
supportive voice and gentle counsel provide the perfect launch pad for
budding Witches suffering from writers’ block. The following excerpt
will give you an idea of the graceful guidance that imbues this work:
All I am and all I’ll be
Is really simply up to me.
Each day provides a blank new page
A beginning clean of life and age.
And how I live my life today—
In work, in magic, and in play—
Will color what my life shall be
And rebirth a brand new me.
If you’ve been practicing the Craft informally, and are ready to
take the next step and set some of your ideas and rituals to paper,
let this workbook be your guide.
