Witchcraft:- Spells, Blend Oils, Charms and History.
This has things in here that will help with your daily lives. Don't depend on just on this for any sickness; mental or physical , its only a side aid for things < please see doctor if so!
The question that always pops into mind when your going through this path of witchcraft is that there is so much to remember; how am I going to remember it all and that's why a shadow book comes in handy.
Now before you jump into it you need to know how to create one right?
Don't worry to much about it; its really simple that you do it just however you please!
-If your going down the path of a Wiccan you may want write down the Wiccan Rede, to set out your intentions and beliefs from the start of the book but that's your choose and you don't really need too if your a person who is a casual believer of the Wiccan ways (not strict) ; you know where you stand and don't need to write it down.
-This is an example what you might put on the front/first page of you're Shadow Book.

Remember when doing your first page make it fun! This is all about expressing yourself to your craft.
When your done with your first page, this is when you can add these things listed below:-
-Spells and rituals that you gather from different places or write yourself and it's helpful to take notes after you cast each spell, to see how you feel different and what changes it has brought in your life.
-Herbs, incenses and oils and their properties;especially keeping track of your own experiments with them and how they affect you.
-Crystals and their properties – again, taking notes of how you feel using different crystals or what effect they have on your life. All this information will come in handy later on and when you want to write your own spells!
-Helpful notes on moon phases and how they affect spell work, color properties, candle magick etc. Basically any useful information you can find.
-Daily appreciation notes are always good for your mind and soul, and to raise your vibrations to attract more goodness into your life
-Interesting or creative ideas, sketches and such of tools you'd like to make or buy, decorations for your altar, ideas for your garden. Anything you come across and would like to keep for inspiration.
-Recipes – potions, herb blends and sabbat celebration foods
-A meditation or visualisation diary if that's what you're into; with spell casting it is important to keep a clear and focused mind to achieve the best results, so regular meditation will be helpful and you might want to take some notes if you have any specific feelings or insights. The same goes for visualisation – after casting a spell, vividly and regularly visualising your goals in a joyful way will improve your chances of success – so that might be worth taking notes of.
Your Shadow Book can be decorate however you like. It can be any book that takes your fancy, whether you want to start from scratch on a plain notebook or you want to buy a big or an old Harry Potter-style spell book, its up to you.
!Warning!
Don't share or show your Shadow Book unless you have permission by the God, Goddess you follow. It's disrespectful and can cause harm to you're craft work!
