Book of Shadows
Much about the book of shadows prior to the reawakening of modern Witchcraft in the mid-twentieth century remains a mystery. In the early centuries folk magic and lore was not usually recorded but was orally described to the next generations. However, it seems, as some hereditary Witches claim, that some of their descents did record some of their secret spells and lore in little black books. One of the first prototypical book of shadows published in English was Ardia, or Gospel of the Witches (1899) by Charles Godfrey Leland.
The book of shadows reflects the practices and beliefs of each coven within a tradition, and those that are independent of a tradition, and serves as a dynamic collection of information.
