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.
