The Book of Shadows is a part of the Neopagan religion of Wicca, and has become a part of many other pagan practices. The most famous Book of Shadows was created by Gerald Gardner, a pioneering Wiccan, in the late 1940s or early 1950s. They have since become popular in other forms of traditional witchcraft and folk magick.

Many covens wicca or otherwise maintain a book of shadows with their rites of initiation, seasonal rituals, group spell castings and other magick rituals and shared occult knowledge.

The author of a Book of Shadows can put anything in it that helps them with their spiritual journey. There are no rules, and it can be a way to express oneself.

Lucid dreamers use them as a dream journal. Ceremonial magicians going through old mystery schools are obliged to keep a daily magickal diary or journal of their workings and experiments with results.

A good book of shadows should be high quality, like ours! They need to be passed down through lineages or families and so good study old school thick paper and a durable cover are important… As are sacred pagan symbols as a book of shadows will typically be charged, anointed, censed and is a magickal tool or weapon in its own right.
