One of Gerald Gardner's earliest books on shadows. The Book of Shadows is a book containing religious text and instructions for magical rituals found in the neo-pagan religion of Vikki and in many pagan practices. One famous Book of Shadows was created by the pioneer Wickan Gerald Gardner sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s, and which he used first in his Bricket Wood coven and then in other covenants he founded in the decades that followed. The book of shadows is also used by others tradition, such as Alexandria and Mohsianism, and with the growth of books, by obnoxing people how to start In the 1970s, the idea of the Book of Shadows was then distributed to single practitioners unrelated to earlier traditions. Initially, when the Vikka was still dominated by the coven, only one copy of the book existed for a whole coven, a preserved high priest or high priest. This rule was unfeasible, and now all witches have their own copies. In the various traditions that make up the British traditional Wikku, copies of the original book compiled by Gerald Gardner with the help of his high priest Doreen Valiente, along with the changes and additions that have been made since then, are followed by adherents. They tried to keep the contents of the book a secret, although it had been published on several occasions by figures such as Charles Cardell, Lady Sheba, and Janet and Stuart Farrar. In other traditions, Wixcan and among a number of single practitioners have written alternative versions of the Book that do not depend on Gardner's original. Numerous associations and traditions have since grown around the Book of Shadows. Traditionally, the book of witch shadows is destroyed after death. It can be an experimental practice, every day ritual work or recording magic. It is also a book of inspiration and can be used in future rituals. The concept of the Book of Shadows subsequently appeared in popular culture, for example, used in the American television series Charmed and providing the title of movies, music albums and comics. However, in all these cases it was taken from its original wiccan context (citation is necessary). The origin story of Gerald Gardner, Vicki's father, first introduced the Book of Shadows to people that he started in craft through his Briquette Wood forging in the 1950s. He claimed that it was a personal cookbook of spells that worked for the owner; they could copy from their book and add or delete the material as they see fit. He said the practice of witches storing such a book was ancient, and practiced witch-worship throughout history. According to tradition, Gardner argued, the book was burned after the man's death, so it would not be discovered that they were a witch. Gerald Gardner did not mention a single such thing as the Book of Shadows in 1949 (though written three years earlier), a novel about media-venomous witchcraft, High Magic's Aid. Doreen Valiente claimed that this was because Gardner had not yet conceived the idea at the time, but only invented it after writing his novel. The high priest, Doreen Valiente, stated that Gardner had found the term The Book of Shadows from the 1949 edition of Volume I, number 3 of a magazine known as the Occult Observer. In this edition, she said, was an advertisement for Gardner's novel, High Magic's Aid, which was the opposite article titled The shadows, written by the palm-like World of Bashir. We are talking about the supposedly ancient Sanskrit guide to divination, which explains how to predict things based on the length of a person's shadow. Valiente said Gardner then adopted the term for a witch grimo. She claimed it was a good name, and that's the good name so far where Gardner found it. The font from the page of Ye Booke of Ye Art Magical Leather manuscript, written in Gardner's handwriting called Ye Bok of Ye Art Magical, was later found among his works from the Museum after his death by Aidan Kelly, and was later obtained by Richard and Tamarra James of the Vikan Church of Canada. It was the first project of the Gardner Shadow Book, and included sections based on the rituals of Ordo Temple Orientis, which were developed by the occultist Alistair Crowley. Gardner gained access to these rituals in 1946, when he purchased a charter from Crowley to give him permission to conduct UTO rituals. Some people took this as proof that Gardner invented the idea of Grimoire witches, perhaps sometime between 1946 (when he finished his novel High Magic's Aid), and 1949, and called it Ye Bok Ye Art Magical. In 1949, he renamed it the Book of Shadows, and soon began using it with his kove Briquette Wood. Adding weight to the evidence indicating Gardner invented the book was that other neo-pagan witches of the time, such as Robert Cochrane, had never used such a book. Rewriting Valiente in 1953, Doreen Valiente joined Gardner's Bricket Wood and soon became high priest. She noticed that much of the material in his Book of Shadows was not taken from ancient sources, as Gardner had originally claimed, but from the works of the occultist Alistair Crowley, of Aradia, or the Gospel of witches, from the Key of Solomon, as well as from the rituals of Freemasonry. She confronted Gardner, who admitted that the text he had received from the New Forest covet was fragmentary, and he had to fill out most of it through various sources. He also stated that well, if you think you can do something better, go ahead, and Valiente thought she could, later stating that: I accepted the challenge and intended to rewrite the Book of Shadows, carving out Crowley as much as I could and trying to bring it back to what I felt was, if not in such detail as Crowley's phraseology, at least our own words. Valiente rewrote much of it, carving out many of the sections that came from Crowley (whose negative reputation she feared), albeit retaining the parts that arose with Aradia, or the Gospel of Witches, which she felt was a true practice of witchcraft. Valiente abruptly rewrote sections such as charge goddess also wrote several poems for the book, such as The Witch Runi. She also helped create a poem to include Wiccan Rede in it. The chant in question said: Oh, don't tell the priest about our plight, or he would call it a sin; But - we were in the woods all night,-spell summer in ! And we bring you news by word of mouth - Good news for cattle and corn - Now the sun come up from the south, with oak, and ashes, and Thorne! (These eight lines are exactly the final stanza of A Tree Song).) This version of the ritual, written by Gardner and Valiente but containing sections taken from various sources such as Alistair Crowley, Aradia, or the Gospel of witches, and even Rudyard Kipling, has become a traditional text for The Gardner Vici. In the British traditional Wicca in the forms of the British traditional Wicca, which include Gardnerian Wicca, Alexandria Wicca and Algard Wicca, the Book of Shadows, used by adherents, is based on what is written by Gardner and Valiente.
