Gerald Gardner, the founder of the religion, compiled the first Book of Shadows from various sources, with the input of Doreen Valiente. Since then each Tradition has created its own and each individual Wiccan usually keeps their own version of the BoS, which is a journal/diary of one’s rituals, liturgy, recipes, elemental correspondences, and so forth.

A Book of Shadows is used by a Witch, not all Witches are Wiccan. Each Book of Shadows is written by each individual Witch, and can be passed down to future generations who might add to it, or just use it as is.

There is no one Book of Shadows. A Book of Shadows is a witch’s personal journal. Sometimes you will see a BOS that was written by a coven or a cirlce. This means that various member have added spells, rituals, recipes, ect to it. My husband and I are now starting our family BOS.

Gerald Gardner wrote the first Book of Shadows. A Book of Shadows is personal to each Wiccan – so every owner of a Book of Shadows would be the author of their own book.

No one. The Book of Shadows is NOT a singular book, like the Bible. Every Wiccan/Witch writes his/her OWN book of shadows and keeps what he or she deems important to THEM in it.
