Product Description
Product Description
Traditionally, the Book of Shadows is a High Priestess's way of handing on her collection of spells, rituals and magical tips and tricks to her coven members. Modern-day witches, by necessity or choice, often practise alone without access to this invaluable knowledge - and this is where this lavishly illustrated compendium comes in. Celtic Wiccan High Priestess Silja covers the basic and intermediate levels of magic for solitary witches. She shares a wide ranging array of spells that have been successful for her - not least how to attract more love, money and luck into your life. With an easy to difficult rating system, she makes it simple for anyone to learn basic spells and then progress. Silja shares meditations - from energy-raising exercises to vision quests and guided meditations you can do with friends - and shows you why rituals are not just for coven use. Discover how to practise rituals alone to honour the seasons, say thanks to the deities for a spell that worked or send healing energy to a friend in need. Finally, once you have absorbed Silja's wisdom and knowledge, you can begin personalizing your magic and writing your own spells.

Silja is best known as the columnist for Spirit & Destiny's Practical Magic pages.
Following on from The Green Wiccan Year and The Green Wiccan Herbal, The Green Wiccan Book of Shadows explores the craft from many angles and breaks each stage down into managable chunks. This book is a great starting point for those new to Wicca and a nice book to read for those with more experience. This book has something to offer everyone, Silja explores magical theory and practice such as ethics, different pagan paths, the elements and different Wiccan traditions.
Silja breaks down the stages of magic, and how to craft your own successful spells and rituals. The spells in the
book are categorized for love, money and work, luck and justice, home and relationship, health and other spells. Each spell is beautifully written and easy to follow and involving ingredients which can be obtained with ease. She includes tables of correspondences at the back of the book as well as further reading suggestions, which provides an excellent foundation for starting on a spiritual path.
Within the pages of the book, Silja also includes useful tips and information for working magic and there is a chapter about joining or starting your very own coven, or study group.
I give this book 5 out of 5 :)
I particularly enjoyed reading about different types of meditations and vision quests, and Silja provides tips for creating your own meditations as well.
Another thing I love about this book is that Silja encourages the reader to do what feels comfortable for them, and explains there is no one right way to practice the craft - it is up to each individual to find what works best for them.
The artwork throughout the pages is lovely and adds to the fun and fresh vibe of this book, I would recommend this to anyone and will be definitely revisit this book.

This is a useful book as an introduction for those new to the Craft, and also as a handy reference book. If you are familiar with Silja's magazine column then you will recognise and enjoy the style of writing. It includes background information and a range of spells and rituals, which are neatly laid out and easy to find. Definitley a handy book to have.

I've always enjoyed Silja's column in Spirit and Destiny so was thrilled to receive this book-it's well set out and the art work is beautiful
It would be a good starter book for those who are just starting out on their path-the author doesn't preach or patronise the reader or insist that her way is the only way of doing things,she gives you options of doing things if you don't have the items she lists.It's easy to read/understand,no complicated spells/rituals etc
I've always recommended Kate Wests The Real Witches handbook as the best starter book-I'll now recommend this one as well-I can see this one being well loved and well used for many years.
I'm looking forward to trying some of the spells,meditations and rituals very soon.
Very good book-well worth buying!
