A Book of Shadows is the individual Witchs record of the Rites, Rituals and rules of the Craft; and according to Gardner, the correct form of a Book of Shadows is one the Witch has copied from another, presumably more experienced, Witch.
Different branches of Witchcraft have slightly differing opinions as to its content. Gardnerian Witches hold strictly to the system of copying in the above way, and endeavour not to change the content or Rituals. Hence to them Gardners Book of Shadows should be a definitive document. Alexandrians and others feel that a Book of Shadows should contain all the Rites and Rituals that the individual has performed, as well as the spells or magics they have worked and should also include the results of these, together with other information which is of reference to the Craft. For these Witches their Book of Shadows provides an invaluable personal record and reference for the future, whereas a Gardnerian Book of Shadows will be less personal and also less liable to have changed from the original.
Whatever your interest in Witchcraft, Gerald Gardener or his Book of Shadows, I trust that you, like me will find this volume an interesting journey of exploration, as is the Craft itself.
What we have here is a definitive record of the practises of Wicca by the man who founded the Gardnerian branch of the Craft, and through his efforts, rightly, or wrongly, is known as the 'Father of Modern Witchcraft and for that he deserves the acknowledgement of every generation of Witch, past present and future. Personally I feel that Gardner would be pleased by both the modern growth of the Craft and by the ongoing debate which this volume will undoubtedly generate.
