A Book of Shadows is one of the most important parts of a witch's magickal practice. It is where a witch stores spells, recipes, personal thoughts and feelings. It is best to use a book of shadows made out of natural materials if you intend to bring in circle with you, because man made chemicals like plastics interfere with the magickal energies during ritual work.
Our Tree of Life BOS is bound in light brown leather and features a beautiful hand-embossed Tree of Life on the cover, and approximately 125 blank ivory colored pages. Journal comes with a button closure to keep its content safe and secure.
In Wicca, trees are living things that are filled with the essence and energy of the Elements and the Divine. The Tree of Life also shows you how everything is connected; from the smallest organisms to our Earth being a part of the solar system, and the solar system being connected to the galaxies beyond.
Our Triquetra BOS is bound in light brown leather and features a hand-embossed triquetra with a metal clasp closure with approximately 190 blank ivory colored pages.
The Triquetra symbolizes the three faces of the Goddess, balance of the Mind, Body and Spirit. The circle signifies the ever-turning cycle of life, death and rebirth. Germanic neopagan groups who use the Triquetra to symbolize their faith generally believe it is originally of Norse and Germanic origins. The symbol is also sometimes used by wiccans and some new agers to symbolize the Triple Goddess, or as a protective symbol.
Our Pentacle BOS is bound using reddish brown leather and features a pentacle on the front and back with a cord closure. It has approximately 200 blank ivory colored pages.
The pentacle is perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols that Wiccans and Pagans use and is a symbol of protection. The base symbol is the five-pointed star, which can be drawn non-stop without lifting pen from paper. Enclosing the pentacle is often a circle. For many Wiccans and Pagans the pentacle is a symbol that represents magick and magickal workings as a whole. For others it’s used as a talisman, a connection to the divine, to open and close circles and a myriad of other ritual uses.
Our Triple Moon BOS is bound in a reddish brown leather with a moonstone in the center of the triple moon design. It has approximately 200 blank ivory pages.
The Triple Moon is used in Pagan and Wiccan teachings. It represents the threefold nature of the Goddess: As maiden, mother and crone.
Our Thor Hammer BOS is bound in light brown leather and features Thor’s hammer hand-embossed on the front with a metal clasp closure with approximately 190 blank ivory colored pages.
Thor’s hammer (Mjöllnir in Norse mythology) is the hammer of the thunder god and the symbol of his power.
Our Pentacle With Besom & Cauldron BOS is bound in light brown leather and features a hand-embossed pentacle with a besom & cauldron on the front with a metal clasp closure with approximately 190 blank ivory colored pages.
The pentacle is perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols that Wiccans and Pagans use and is a symbol of protection. The base symbol is the five-pointed star, which can be drawn non-stop without lifting pen from paper. Enclosing the pentacle is often a circle. For many Wiccans and Pagans the pentacle is a symbol that represents magick and magickal workings as a whole. For others it’s used as a talisman, a connection to the divine, to open and close circles and a myriad of other ritual uses.
The besom is a sacred ritual tool in witchcraft and is sacred to both the Goddess and God. The God by it's shape, the Goddess by the bristles, the binding cord and the shaft.
The cauldron is a symbol of the creative forces of transformation. The round shape and receptive properties of cauldrons make them sacred to the Goddess, and it is associated with the element of Water. However, given that the heat of a fire is necessary for much of the transformative work of a cauldron, some view it as sharing association with both Water and Fire.
