Book of Shadows

[MoonMoth]

Hi All,

This may seem like a very dumb question.

I'm new to the path and I have been doing LOTS of reading!
The one thing I am having a lot of difficulty with is understanding exactly what is supposed to go into your Book of Shadows. Is it a journal? A ritual book? An information book? Or everything?

And what is a Mirror Book? That seems to be a personal journal regarding your journey into Wicca....is that right?

Thanks in advance....

Uhm search the forums for it by clicking search up top, there's already a few threads on this floating around...

IT IS ALL OF THESE THINGS. MINE CONTAINS ALL THE SPEELS I HAVE TRIED AND KNOW THEY WORK AS WELL AS ABOUT THE TYPE OF WITCH I AM AND WANT TO BE. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED INFORMATION ABOUT SABBATS AND DIVINATION.

Many traditions have different methods of what goes into it.

A mirror book is generally a journal... so you can reflect back on what you thought or did before. To look a little more closely at yourself and how you have grown. or where you haven't grown.
