A Book of Shadows is a blank book where witches write down information useful to their craft. It is considered a sacred tool, which means it is an item of power that should be consecrated with all of your other magical tools. Copy spells and rituals into your Book of Shadows by hand – this will not only transfer energy but will also help you memorise the content.

Typically a Book of Shadows will be used to store information on Spells, Rituals, Magical Correspondences, Gods and Goddesses, Festivals, Recipes, Charts, Sketches, Recordings of Magical Workings etc.

Tips:
1. If you find a rite, spell or piece of information somewhere else, be sure to note down the source. It will help you keep organized, and you'll start to recognize patterns in authors' works.
2. Add a section that includes books you've read, as well as what you thought of them. This way, when you get a chance to share information with others, you'll remember what you've read.

Triquetra

The Triquetra is generally believed to originally be of Norse and Germanic origins. The triquetra can be used to represent various triplicities such as the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea and Sky; a symbol of one of the specific triple Goddesses; the interconnected parts of our existence - Mind, Body, and Soul - or many other concepts that seem to fit into this idea of a unity.

As with many Celtic themes the unbroken circle represents eternity. The three symbol is not limited to only Celts, cultures in regions throughout the world consider the number three to be a divine number. The symbol of three interlocking circles has been found on 5000 year old Indian religious sites. In Europe the symbol itself dates as early as the eighth century on carved stones. A Norse rune known as the Odin Knot or Val Knot resembles it almost exactly.
