 What is The Book of Shadows?There is no absolutely definitive Book of Shadows. The very name is an allegorical similie. A book can cast its own shadow but it cannot contain shadows. However the metaphor of 'shadow' plainly and intuitively refers to things which are of the other-world; esoteric things which exist hidden just in shadow, beyond the world we see as 'normal' and which may be reached and manipulated using occult methods. The term Book of Shadows apositely refers to the secret teachings of the Pagan Witch Cult.The title is not an ancient one. Witches in Ancient times were from rustic stock and few could read or write. In any event they would never have knowingly written down any of their knowledge because this would have immediately condemned them to death if discovered. Most of their lore was contained in rhymes, chants and dogerels, often using allegory or lost languages or dialects (such as the "Yan Tan Tethera" chant, the remnant of a counting system of ancient Celtic herdsmen) and of course, legends, folk-stories and faery-stories which perpetuated the lore of paganism. The festivals and ceremonies of paganism were continued simply by their observance in isolated pagan families and passed from mouth to ear until society had evolved sufficiently to repeal the ancient Witchcraft laws and create a rational climate where public interest grew about the Old Religion. At that point several pagans and occultists came forward to popularise Witchcraft of whom Gerald B. Gardner was perhaps the most influential. His various books, in particular The Meaning of Witchcraft and Witchcraft for Today, gave the framework upon which the religion of neo-paganism / or Wicca as GBG called it, has been reconstructed. Although the term Book of Shadows had historically been used occasionally as a euphemism for other spiritual and divinatory works outside of paganism, (the ancient Hindus had a divinatory method of analysing the shadow of a person and this was also termed The Book of Shadows), the first use within Paganism was probably when Gardner employed it in his High Magic's Aid - a novel which reveals considerable craft lore. Though Gardner had formulated his own Witches Workbook, intended for general consumption prior to the publication of High Magic's Aid, he began referring to this as The Book of Shadows after HMA was published and so coined the term which has stuck. A Coven is an organic thing. As each person in the group is trained-up there will inevitably come a time after a few years when experienced members will, with the blessing of the priest and priestess, be ready to hive-off and begin a 'daughter' coven. Traditionally this is the time when the person who is leaving to start the new coven will copy out the lore, tenets and ceremonies of the Mother coven. This forms the new coven's basic Book of Shadows and it is of course much amended and supplemented by 'daughter' covens as they mature and continue to evolve the styles of training and worship which have been handed down. In modern times, when there appears to be no need for any secrecy, often the Book of Shadows will also include a 'recipe book' of herb and healing lore and spells which have been tried and tested. As you can see therefore. Every Book of Shadows will follow an expected framework of pagan observance (The Traditions) but each one is also a product of the lineage, feyness, knowledge, wisdom and skills of the people who developed it. Gardner's basic Book of Shadows has been published in various formats over the past few decades but a true Book of Shadows is more than a framework. That is why Frater Sisto's Chapters from the Book of Shadows and his Grimoire of The Shadows are so valuable to serious seekers after genuine occult methods and who wish to return to source.  This is an illustration from Marabas's collection of the front cover of the guidebook to Gerald Gardner's Witch's Mill Museum, once located on the Isle of Man.

REASONABLE RISK: Advice; Personal Consultations; Recommendations for Applications: Marabas
has an unparalleled grasp of esoteric methods worldwide but he is not a god - he cannot
indemnify customers from risk. Only you know your exact circumstances, your medical
history, state of health and the progression of the problem so far. Only you can judge
whether it is in your interests to apply magic in your life. If you ask us how a magician
might resolve a problem then Marabas will tell you but in our eyes magic is a force used
to modify the course of destiny and can cause peripheral changes which are not anticipated
therefore all magical operations are by qualification inherently experimental.
Our products are genuine, contain proper materials and most importantly are designed with
adept knowledge of magical method. You cannot get a better chance of successfully
experimenting with magic but be under no illusion - it is an experiment undertaken entirely
at your own risk. The S.A. offers raw materials and literature for curiosity's sake
only. Marabas's historical knowledge is given if asked. Under present law Marabas cannot
'prescribe' magical actions or cures; we suggest only what an adept might do in your
place. To recapitulate: We are not selling you the magic 'cure', though it may very
well turn out that way. We are providing the opportunity to experiment with genuine magical
methods to open up new doors in your life. We can tell you how others have changed their
lives and how you might choose to do it for yourself but you are responsible for your own
experiments. We cannot indemnify people from the repercussions of foolishness but we
will sincerely do everything we can to ensure your genuine success and this will be the
limit of our liability. Marabas's suggestions will always comply with U.K. law but if you
are unsure whether a suggestion might breach local laws or regulations then you should
consult your legal advisor before ordering.
Clients must be cognizant that all Magic and ritual work is experimental and therefore
undertaken by them at their own inception and at their own risk. We provide all reasonable
warnings and protections for our clients but cannot be held responsible for applications of
their own invention of which we are uninformed. We will readily offer our opinion on the
advisability of proposed applications of our products without charge. We expect the typical
customer to be reasonably fit and healthy. If you are significantly unwell, subject to
allergies, are taking a course of treatment, are pregnant, a registered drug addict, have a
history of chronic ailments or are undergoing psychiatric help then it is your
responsibility to clear your intentions with your doctor and alert us before
you embark upon a purchase. .
