The Book of Shadows
1.1Something Wicca This Way Comes
TO GAIN POWERS
Hear now the words of the witches
The secrets we hid in the night
The oldest of gods are invoked here
The great work of magic is sought
In the night and in this hour
I call upon the ancient power
Bring your powers to we sisters three
We want the power
Give us the power
TO KILL JEREMY
Your love wither and depart
from my life and my heart,
Let me be, Jeremy, and go away forever.
POWER OF THREE SPELL
The Power Of Three will set us free
The Power Of Three will set us free
The Power Of Three will set us free
1.2 - I've Got You Under My Skin
VANQUISH JAVNAH
Evil eyes, look unto thee
May they soon extinguished be.
Bend thy will to the power of three,
Eye of earth, evil and accursed.
1.3 - Thank You For Not Morphing
BANISH SHAPESHIFTERS
When in the circle that is home
Safety's gone and evils roam
Rid all beings from these walls
Save sisters three
Now heed our call
1.5 - Dream Sorcerer
ATTRACT MEN
I conjure thee
I conjure thee
I'm the Queen you're the bee
As I desire so shall it be
DISCOURAGE A LOVER
Your love for me shall be no more
Make your feelings only pure.
Look upon another face
Theirs will mine now replace.
1.8 - The Truth Is Out There... (And It Hurts)
TRUTH SPELL
For those who want the truth revealed
Opened hearts and secrets unsealed
For now until it's now again
After which the memory ends
Those who now are in this house
Will hear the truth from other's mouths
1.9 - The Witch Is Back
CAPTURE MATTHEW TATE
Outside of time, outside of gain
Know only sorrow, know only pain
SUMMON MELINDA WARREN
Melinda Warren
Blood of our blood
Our great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother
We summon thee.
RELEASE MELINDA WARREN
Melinda Warren
Blood of our blood
We release you
1.10 - Wicca Envy
BANISH POWERS
From whence they came, return them now
Vanish the words
Banish our powers
1.13 - From Fear To Eternity
BANISH BAD LUCK
Sage so fair from far and wide,
Take my troubles and cast them aside.
1.15 - Is There A Woogy In The House?
BANISH WOOGYMAN
I am light
I am one too strong to fight
Return to dark where shadows dwell
You cannot have this Halliwell
Go away and leave my sight
And take with you this endless night
1.16 - Which Prue Is It Anyway?
MULTIPLY STRENGTH
(To multiply your strength, recite these words at length)
Take my powers blessed be
Multiply their strength by three
1.17 - That 70's Episode
UNBIND A BOND (sent them to the past)
The bond which was not to be done
Give us the power to see it undone
And turn back time to whence it was begun
RETURN TO THE PRESENT
A time for everything
And everything in it's place
Return what has been moved
Through time and space
NICHOAS MUST DIE SPELL
Lavender, Mimosa, Holy thistle,
Cleanse this evil from our mist,
Scatter its cells throughout time,
Let this Nick no more exist.
1.20 - The Power Of Two
BANISH A SPIRIT
Ashes to ashes, spirit to spirit
Take their soul, banish this evil
1.21 - Love Hurts
SWITCH POWERS
What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine
Let our powers cross the line
I offer up my gift to share
Switch our powers through the air.
1.22 - deja vu All Over Again
ACCELERATE TIME
Winds of time, gather around.
Give me wings to speed my way.
Rush me on my journey forward.
Let tomorrow be today.
As the witch in question grows, and his/her experience grows, they add to the book of shadows. The book of shadows is merely a spellbook, used for writing down rituals, spells, etcetera, and as the witch evolves, so does the book of shadows.
No, the Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text containing spells and instructions for the afterlife. The Book of Shadows, however, is a modern Wiccan text used by practitioners to document rituals, spells, and personal experiences in their spiritual practice.
Constance M Burge created the spells but the book of shadows was created by Melinda Warren the fictional character.
There are many names a collection of spells could be called. Here are a few: - a Book of Shadows (although these rarely contain just spells) - a Grimoire (again, these usually contain many things including spells) - a Magical Workbook (this is what mine are called and I have many) - a Magician's Companion/Compendium - a Book of Spells
Wicca is not like another religion. You cannot point to one book as the Wiccan holy book. Wiccans write their own holy book, which is known as The Book of Shadows. There could be a personnal Book of Shadows where each wiccan write their own rituals, spells and experience. Apart from that, each Coven, Tradition has their Book of Shadows. A Book of Shadows of one tradition is their sacred book, but another could have a different version.
In Wicca? In Paganism? In Witchcraft in general? To all three questions, No, Not really but maybe a few sects, and No. There is no real standard book of spells that Pagans in general follow. That said, in the Wiccan Tradition, Gerald Gardner's Book of Shadows is highly prized, and in various British Traditional Witchcraft covens, there are copies of Gerald's Book that they go by. In Paganism, there are a few Traditions that follow or use some books. But in general, there is no standard book of spells.
The concept of a "book of shadows" comes from modern Wiccan and Neopagan practices. It is essentially a personal journal or grimoire where practitioners document their rituals, spells, and experiences on their spiritual path. The existence of a book of shadows is subjective to each individual who practices these belief systems.
The witchbook is also called the "Book of Shadows" or "Book of Spells." It is simply a notebook in which the Wiccan practitioner makes notes of recipes, formulas and spells, their method and their results. A teacher may pass along the Book of Shadows to a trusted student, or one might be passed down in a family from parent or grandparent to child. You may however be referring to witchbook.net, if so, I have used it, and rather like the site.
Use your book of shadows as a magickal diary - record in there the actions you take, rituals, spells, the results of these, magickal information you learn about. Use it to keep a note of anything you feel is important within your spiritual path. You can separate the different parts into Rituals, Spells, Seasonal Celebrations, Magickal Correspondences (oils, herbs, colours etc for use in specific circumstances), Notes, and so on.
Book of Shadows - album - was created in 1996.
This is a book witches write their spells in. It could be a book with blank pages or a spiral notebook. A book of spells is known as a "Book of Shadows" or a "Grimoire". It is the formal place a practicing witch keeps his or her finalised rituals, spells, potions, meditations and workings. It is private and very personal. The "old school" believe it should be hand written by the witch, in a good leather-bound journal and kept safely away from everyone else, but I know several witches who keep theirs on their computers, a number who use 3 -ring binders (so they can add and change things as needed) and most of us share our books with others within our circle.
Lots of spells for dark magic. Stuff that could give you nightmares.
