I've noticed a few questions on here about a 'Book of Shadows' and although I've seen a book of Shadows on a TV series, I'm not sure why it is called a 'Book of Shadows'.
The name sounds dark, yet the girls on the TV show are good witches or 'White' witches.
A lot of the answers to 'Book of Shadows' questions talk about putting your own thoughts in there and recording your private spiritual journey in there.
This sounds like a nice idea, although I don't have spells that I'd include, but I have affermations. If I were to start my own book, I think I'd call it a 'Book of Light'. - It just sounds purer to me than 'shadows'.
Is there any reason why it's called a Book of Shadows?
Have any of you called you books something different?
Please don't take offense to my question, I'm not critisising, just looking for honest answers.
Thanks.
