I’m pleased to share with you the blessing I crafted for my own personal Book of Shadows. As witches, our works hold deeply intimate knowledge that needs protecting. This book contains the secrets of my craft, spells developed over years of study, and notes from magical experiences.
To dedicate its pages and preserve and shield the wisdom within, I performed this blessing ritual. Drawing upon my power and that of the elements, I infused the book’s very fibers with magic. Now none may access its contents without my consent. I hope this blessing brings you insight into my practice and inspires you to create your own rituals of dedication. The Book of Shadows holds a witch’s most sacred teachings – it deserves magical safekeeping. I hope you found this blessing for empowering your work as much as it has empowered my own.
This book of magic, secrets held within
Shall only be viewed by witch’s kith and kin
No prying eyes shall see what’s on these sheets
Lest they disturb the spells and charms they meet
I bless these pages with the powers of three
Protecting all held in this book’s privacy
From harm and danger keep it safe and sound
No evil forces here shall abound
This is a book of craft and mystic ways
Filled with knowledge from past ages
Only those with the sight shall understand
The mysteries written by this witch’s hand
So with this rite, the blessing is complete
This book of shadows now is made discreet
By my will, magic, and the powers that be
This is my blessing, so mote it be.
I hope you find this blessing useful for your own Book of Shadows. After performing the ritual and speaking the words aloud, I invite you to transcribe this blessing by hand onto the first page of your book. Let your pen be the final tool to seal the magic into the parchment.
Feel free to customize the blessing as you see fit – make it truly your own. But I hope the intention remains the same – to protect the sacred knowledge contained within from any who would misuse or defile it. Your Book of Shadows deserves to hold your secrets safely.
May transcribing this blessing by hand with focused intent empower the words and infuse the pages with your magic. Use it to dedicate your book as you start a new chapter in your craft. I send you blessings as you continue your journey on the path. Keep this book close to your heart, for within its covers your power will grow.
