An Examination of the Book of Shadows

Various Phraseologies: Spellbook, Grimoire, Tome of Magic, Book of Spells.

It is a textbook carrying the collective information that pertains to the extensive practices of the individual Witch. The name of the practitioner’s book is an extension of their evolutionary view, while traditional references may be made toward the book, unconventional and taciturn names may be given to the tome that can better help reflect the Witch and establish a deeper bond between prac and theory. 

There are an abundance of traditional values that have unfolded between the ages as the notion of a Book of Shadows becomes more prominent in Witchcraft practices. Olden actions of keeping the book safe from prying eyes, to burning the book once the Witch’s time has come, there is a gentle reminder that history and it’s suggestions differ throughout the ages of time and as generational views progress, there too comes the notion of open mindedness and allowing oneself to display their Craft in whichever way is comfortable for them to do so. 

This open-armed view extends all throughout the Spellbook, as what may serve one Witch in their Grimoire, may not serve another Witch in theirs. What one maybe believe in, another may not. As a general list to accomodate for the overview in which is commonly displayed in such books, it is customary to find information that pertains to the following that involves a form of instructive learning process based on personal and effective beliefs:

•Astrology (zodiacs, birth charts etc..)

•Dream Magic (lucid states, past life etc..)

•Plant Magic (herbal teas, recipes etc..)

•Rituals pertaining to diverse practices that involve but are not limited to Ceremonial Magic, Planetary Deities, Sabbats and Esbats. 

•Spells pertaining to diverse practices that may involve the properties for Healing, Protection, Love, Wealth, Banishing etc..

•Conjuration of constructing the physical manifestation of Spells such as charm formation, Poppet crafting and amulet making.

•Summoning of constructing the spiritual and mindful manifestation of Spells such as with techniques of visualisation.

•Charts pertaining to the guidance of elemental and/or planetary influence such as recording Moon phases for Full, New and Dark Moons as well as rare events that can influence Spells such as eclipses or Super Moons. 

•Divinatory information pertaining to the processes of Tarot card reading, Crystal ball Scrying, Tea Leaf reading, Rune casting, Bone casting, Pendulum swinging etc..

•Symbolism based on the preferred index and learnings of the Witch, which can feature a collection of Sigils and Glyphs in which pertain to their cultural practice or embodiments of empowerment (ie: Pentagram, Pentacle, Triquetra, Spiral, Cross, Hand of Fatima etc..)

•Personal notes that reflect upon the Witch’s practice and experiences that have derived from all the effects in which listed above. 

As a collective and expansive review of all that is and can be entailed and entwined with relations to Witchcraft practices that correlate to the use of a Book of Shadows, there is furthermore an unlimited source of key words in which may be associated with the terminology used to connect and identify with certain Occult groups throughout the years and in diverse cultures tied with Occultism. Some of these are mentioned below and notes only a broad fraction of what is out there:

‘Rosicrucian’ , ‘Demonology’ , ‘Satanism’ , ‘Hermeticism’ , ‘Kabbalah’ , ‘Mysticism’ , ‘Solomonic’ , ‘Wicca’ , ‘Paganism’ , ‘Thelema’ , ‘Magnetism’ , ‘Leviathan’ , ‘Spiritualism’ , ‘Theosophy’ 

With what is penned inside a Book of Shadows, it is the inner content that too reflects upon the physical materials of the book itself. Just some of the factors to consider are: the type of material which binds the exterior of the book (ie: real leather, faux leather etc..), paper type, binding methods (ie: hand stitched, post-bound etc..) and additional construction used such as glues and fabrics. These factors can help to determine not only the longevity and lifespan of the book but also too the connection that the practitioner establishes with their book, ensuring that it is a grand tool that is ethically respected and one that the practitioner is pleased to associate with.  As the Book of Shadows is a collector and container of information, the edification told can also relay through the findings that pertain to the ideal of symbologies connected to the Witch. Physical representations can be added to the pages, for reference: printable pages of purchased art or information, decorative paper that resonate with the practitioner’s theme as well as chance findings that may serve for a significant purpose delivered by nature, such as: bird feathers or dried and pressed flowers. Additionally, the overall purpose of what is in a Book of Shadows is the information, for how it gets there depends entirely on the practitioner, for the pages may be printed or they may be hand written, utilising the opportunity to work with special inks that are created for the purpose to bind and consecrate magical words can often be a great opportunity to help further establish a deep connection. Uniquely prepared inks that may vary in colour: black, red, purple etc.. may be prepared with the inclusion of added blends that contain the essence of sacred plants such as: Sandalwood, Myrrh, Frankincense etc.. These nominated plants of one’s choice can act on the behalf of intensifying the potency of written information that can pertain to any point of power, for reference: an incantation or book declaration. 

Beyond the tangible varieties of a physical Book of Shadows, the desire to have this sacred information in one accessible place can extend into a digital library where magical writings are compiled online and conveniently accessed on computers, tablets and mobile phones. With an abundance of technological formats available, this opportunity allows the practitioner to construct a useful and convenient space where all important knowledge can be kept. Just as a physical Spellbook, an online one can be equally retained as a sacred tool and strategically laid out in a composition that is easy for the practitioner to access and add details to or take away if needed to. Online books can be transformed to formats that make for a simple structure to compose knowledge, creating or converting files to configurations such as Microsoft Word, PDF, Notepad or by simply laid out on an external hard drive or USB device by utilising the manageable technique of organisation by folders and files. In addition to this, most standard online filing systems allow for security measures and the use of access through passwords, therefore keeping your information safe. 

self-help challenge #1

create an alter ego for yourself. make her the version of yourself you want to be.

many artists have ae's. when beyonce's rocking it on stage, she's sasha fierce. when tyler the creator is performing, he's igor. the point of an ae, for most is to gain confidence and to be fearless.

the more confident you are in your future, the more successful you will be.

*note: i refer to your ae (alter ego) as she/her. you can use whichever pronouns you like for your ae, of course!

what's her name?

be sure to be thorough and research the meaning and origin of the name you choose for yourself. names have power.

what does she look like?

your alter ego should look like the better version of yourself. make yourself look like her. dress up. be extra if you want.

what does a typical day for her look like?

be as creative as possible with this. nothing is impossible with manifesting. nothing.

what's her personality like?

find five words to describe her with. remember your alter ego has no faults. she's perfect. don't let this intimidate you. if you are your alter ego, then you are, by default, perfect, too. you don’t have to try, you are.

who does your alter ego surround herself with?

watch the friends your ae associates with. you should be friends with people that can put you ahead. whether that be financially, mentally, or physically, only make friends that make you better. don't associate with those who make you worse than your worth.

what kind of media does your ae consume, if any?

think about your ae's favorite author, artist, dancer, singer, etc. how present she is on social media. is she a public figure? how does she influence the media, if so?

why are you creating your alter ego?

why are you frankensteining, in other words? are you tired of being cooped up in your home all the time? do you want people to hang on to your every word? do you want to have influence?

HOW TO COMMAND YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

commanding your subconscious mind is extremely simple, easy and very effective to get your desires.

What can you manifest with this method?

you can manifest anything you want with this method. appearance changes, money, love, talent, literally anything you want!

you can even shift to your desired reality with this method.

How do I command my subconscious mind?

you just tell your subconscious mind what to do, and trust it’ll be taken care of. so for example, let’s say i want to manifest my desired appearance.

i’d tell my subconscious mind, “you’re going to get me my desired appearance. get me what i want.”

or let’s say i wanted to shift realities. i’d say, “you’re going to shift me tonight. i know when i fall asleep, you will take me to my dr.”

and when you command your subconscious, have faith it’ll work! you can literally wake up with your desire face if you believe so.

after commanding your subconscious, don’t be like “this shit doesn’t work” after 5 minutes. your subconscious mind is literally working behind the scenes to bring you your desire. who knows? your cells might be working their asses off right now to change your facial structure, or your SP might be thinking about you RIGHT now, or your small business can go viral tomorrow.

TRUST THE PROCESS.

this technique literally requires you not to lift a finger, and you can still get extreme resuslts! the only thing you need is you.

What should I do after?

live your life. go outside, have fun, hang out with your friends because it is done.

feel that sense of relief. you no longer have to worry.

you don’t need to do anything. no need to affirm, visualize or do a technique. it’s been taken care of.

Why does it work?

your subconscious mind is literally your slave, your puppet, and will obey your every command.

if you tell it how miserable your life is, it’s going to bring you misery. it is your friend that blindly believes anything you tell it. so why not use it to manifest your desires?

you are the god of your reality, remember? your word is literally law.

Outro

so yeah, this is a short post because it is extremely easy.

here’s an example of someone commanding their subconscious to shift, and here’s another example of someone getting their desires this way.

SUMMARY

all you have to do is tell your subconscious mind what to do

trust your subconscious mind

your subconscious mind is always obeying you

no technique is required

Writing Characters with Superpowers

Look! Up on the blog! It’s a novel! It’s a poem! No - it’s a new SOC Original!

Anyone who knows anything about my writing knows that the one thing I love to write, more than anything else in the whole world, is characters with superpowers. Why? I don’t know. It might be my childhood obsession with X-men: Evolution, or my subsequent obsessions with Static Shock, Batman: Beyond, the Justice League, or any other number of cartoon superhero shows. I started writing about superheroes when I was twelve years old, and I have never gone back.

Of course, writing about superheroes (and supervillains!) for over fourteen years teaches you a few things about how to write superpowers - and how not to. A few people have requested that I make a post about what to keep in mind when writing about superpowers, so here it is!

First of all, when you’re writing a character with superpowers, ignore anyone who says that if you give your character the same powers as another character you’re cheating, being uncreative, or whatever else. Listen, there’s nothing you can write that hasn’t been written, or at least there isn’t much. What counts isn’t the powers, it’s how your specific character chooses to use them! Just because you have a character who is super strong and who can fly doesn’t mean that you’re writing Superman - maybe your character isn’t quite as “Good” or as law-abiding as Superman, or maybe your character is afraid of their own strength and chooses not to use it at all, or maybe they just don’t have a lot of control. There’s a lot of wiggle room, so don’t be afraid to wiggle!

Second, when you give your character superpowers, give them limitations or drawbacks. These don’t have to be directly connected to their powers - they can be a part of your character’s personality instead. For example, I have a character who can unleash devastating amounts of telekinetic force, but she chooses to suppress her abilities instead of using them because she’s afraid that she’ll hurt someone - a fear that stems from her past, where she might have accidentally killed someone with her powers. Her fear of her own strength is a limitation on that strength and on her willingness to use it. You can also take this in the other direction and have a character who is so confident that they are helping that they end up doing more harm than good, or a character who so firmly believes that their powers are the answer to all of their problems that they completely miss the simpler solution. There are lots and lots of ways you can do this!

Another thing to think about, though, is powers-specific disadvantages. Yes, we all know the “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex” trope/joke, but honestly, most superpowers have some kind of drawback associated with them, especially when they first manifest. If your character is a telepath who doesn’t have great control over their telepathy, they might hear things in other peoples’ heads that they wish they hadn’t, or they might get overwhelmed by the amount of mental “noise” around them. An empath could be overloaded by other peoples’ emotions, especially in a crowd, and a pyrokinetic always has to worry about starting accidental fires, of course. Figure out what kind of trouble your character’s powers cause for them. This can also be a list of “superpower cons” - reasons why your character might want to give up their powers.

That leads me to my next point - figure out how your character feels about their powers! Are they afraid of them? Are they awed? Do they think their powers are super cool, or are they angry that they can no longer lead a normal life? Do they think they need help learning how to deal with them?

In the same vein, figure out who your character can tell about their abilities - every hero needs someone they can trust enough to be their true selves with. It’s not good for people, psychologically, to have to wear a mask all the time, even if the mask is invisible. Your hero needs someone they can turn to in times of sorrow or doubt, whether that’s a friend or a sibling or a parent or a butler.

Your superpowered character needs to have a life outside of their superpowers, but their superpowers should affect that life, too. What I mean is that there are some things that can’t be separated from who we are as people, and superpowers fall into that category. Your psychic character won’t only have migraines when they’re wearing the mask. Your superstrong character doesn’t only have superstrength when they’re wearing tights. They still have lives and families and jobs and things that they have to do that don’t involve stopping (or starting) the latest crime wave, but their powers don’t go away. Show your readers the impact that has on them.

And, last of all, when you’re writing a superpowered character, think about what drives them. Think about what their morality is, and think about their motivation, and think about how that affects the choices they make with and without their powers. Don’t be afraid of the gray areas - sometimes that’s where the most interesting stories happen, in the struggle between what a character wants to do and what they know they have to do.

I hope this helps you out when you’re writing your superpowered characters. Good luck!
