WhatThe Book Of Shadows In A Wicca Store Mean

Not everybody is interested in witchcraft or witch cult, thus, not everyone knows of it being a religion. Yes, you read it right. Individuals who have take interest in witchcraft actually follow it as a religion which is called the Wicca religion. This originated in Southern England and made its way throughout the globe. This is considered modern paganism and was made popular by Gerald Gardner. With the Wicca religion, comes the Book of Shadows that can be bought from a Wicca store.

The Wicca religion has been linked with some theological positions. The conviction of the religion is that the believers have the choice on what path they want to take. This is why it is like a mystery religion as seen in the book that is a collection of information from witchcraft texts such as the Aradia and the Gospel of the Witches. The book serves the same purpose with books like the witch's grimoires since this contains the proper way of performing rituals, spells, religious poetry as well as chants like the Eko Eko Azarak.

The Book of Shadows can be purchased in a Wicca store. The goal of Gardner then was to make every book unique before its release. The reason behind this is that the content of the copy of the student is just the same as the initiators’ and mentors’ copies. However, later he realized that changing the information on each book may lead to conflict and the essence of the Wicca religion will be lost if the changes were made. Also, with changing the book’s content it may render the rituals, spells, poetry and chants as ineffective. That is why until today the Book of Shadows is identical with all of Books of Shadows out there being it a completely identical version of the Monique Wilson, the high priestess.

There have been many authors who adapted the Book of Shadows and made their own versions. But, no new book could ever replace the original Book of Shadows. Like what Gardner said, the Book of Shadows isn’t really a bible of the Wiccans but actually a book of spell collections. This is a form of sharing spells so that new witches can get started.
