  Book Of Shadows

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.

Get back to source with this unique historic recording of Witches 'coming out' at the birth of the explosion in Paganism in Europe with
Chapters From The Book of Shadows: The Art and practice of witchcraft

Chapters From The Book of Shadows is a superb audio-recording originally made by an experienced Old Coven of Witches based in Essex, England during the 1970s. We believe it to be the most comprehensive compendium of traditional Witchcraft ever produced and a historical documentation of the Rites of the early Witches. Virtually every aspect of the Craft is covered making this recording invaluable to the serious student of the Occult Arts, particularly those who wish to form their own covens and have been unable to break through the barrier of silence  (or ignorance) which still surrounds so much of the Old Religion today. Particularly useful to our American cousins who want to go to source and compare that with what passes for neo-paganism in the U.S. today.

This audio recording, which you can download and listen to 'instantly' right now,  contains full instructions for the original methods of Casting of Circles, Preparation and Charging of Magical Tools, Ritual Preparation, Maintaining Control within the Circle etc. In addition all the important Rites and Festivals of Traditional Witchcraft are included and have been recorded in their entirety so you can simply chant along with them or learn/adapt them to your own coven. On this amazing recording you will hear and experience original performances just as they happened of:

  • CASTING OF THE GREAT TRIPLE CIRCLE
  • RITE OF CAKES AND WINE
  • GENERAL RITES OF MAGICK
  • RITE FOR SAMHAIN / HALLOWEEN
  • RITE FOR CANDLEMAS EVE
  • RITE FOR BELTAIN /MAY EVE
  • RITE FOR LAMMAS EVE
  • LEAVING & DISSOLVING THE CIRCLE SAFELY
  • SIMPLE RITE OF MAGICK
  • GREATER RITE OF MAGICK
  • RITE OF CALLING DOWN THE MOON
  • RITE FOR YULE / WINTER SOLSTICE
  • RITE FOR THE VERNAL / SPRING EQUINOX
  • RITE FOR MIDSUMMER DAY
  • RITE FOR THE AUTUMN EQUINOX

Take heart, this recording is not the 'same old same old'. As you will see from the detailed list of contents below this is one of the original sources for all that has been produced about the Craft since - but, we maintain, a lot of that interpretation  in modern books and tracts on paganism has been corrupted or misinterpreted.  Now you get a chance to see how it can really be from source.  

All of these rites are absolutely authentic and are narrated by a truly experienced and initiated High Priest (Frater Sisto) and his Priestess of the Craft.  This man was visionary enough to want to enshrine the genuine teachings to protect them from corruption and misinterpretation. At the time the uproar in the Craft was so great when these secrets were first revealed that a lady priestess who was originally initiated by Gerald Gardner cast the 'Curse of the Goddess' upon the coven which revealed the information. That was a very long time ago and with today's new attitude against secrecy it seems unduly harsh  but does give a clue as to the authenticity of this recording.  Distribution of the recording continued and has reportedly influenced for the better many of the existing Neo-Pagan covens in the U.K. and U.S.A. The originator of the recording passed to the Summerlands some years ago (from natural causes we hasten to add!) and bestowed exclusive rights to reproduce this recording to the Sorcerer's Apprentice®. Chapters from the Book of Shadows is only available from the S.A. and at just £16.97 including post should be in every Coven's library.  Don't miss it!

DISCLAIMER: Along with five billion other souls on this planet we believe in Transmogrification (magic), and Transubstantiation (life in spirit). About 85% of the world's population believe in the world of spirit. Only 7% of the world's population are atheists (scientific materialists) but these few people have a disproportionate influence over the way we live because the government relies heavily on these Scientific Soothsayers of the State to provide justification for their decisions. This disclaimer is to comply with the prejudiced demands of this lobby and should be seen as such. When we infer on these webpages that something is successful for a particular purpose we mean that traditionally it has been held by sages to be successful for that purpose or/and that historically it is reputed to work in a novel, legendary or peculiar way to succeed with that purpose, or/and that people alive today have tried and recommended the item as being successful or helping to a lesser or greater degree for that purpose and therefore it may be worth trying. In most instances we will have tested, experienced and confirmed the effects ourselves but we freely admit that these items may not work in every instance or may work in lesser ways than the examples quoted. We offer them out for historic and curiosity value only as untested objects of pleasance. All use and application of these items and information should be seen as experimental. Magical effects cannot be proven nor guaranteed. We have personally used and sold items like these for over three decades and our experience is positive - however in order to make an informed choice you should be aware that science disagrees about the existence of magical forces and effects and insists that other mundane actors will be working to cause the success experienced if any.

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. .
