My Witchcraft Book of Shadows (BoS) Walk Through

[@winterflame1965]

I love the way you’ve done your BOS. I haven’t started one yet but I am probably going to do mine a lot like yours.

On your Isobel Gowdie page, the illustrations are by the Scottish artist Julia Jeffrey also knowned as Stonemaiden. She is the illustrator of the Tarot of the Hidden Realm. By the way I am from Canada too (Quebec) :-)

[@TeiaKennedy]

Yes thank you!! I added a link to her Etsy shop in the description...her artwork is amazing. And yay Canada!! 🇨🇦🧙‍♀️🇨🇦

I have never seen BoS that resonated so much with me. So inspiring 🤩

[@TeiaKennedy]

That’s so awesome! So glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@MsSecrets]

Oh wow! This is so good! Gave me so many ideas on what I can include in mine!

[@TeiaKennedy]

Wonderful! I’m so glad it connected 😊

Something similar happened for me and my daughter when I did a job spell for her a few years ago, actually it’s happened twice now. The first time she didn’t get the job but the same company phoned her a few days later and offered her another job which she accepted. The second time around she didn’t get the job I did the spell for but within a few days did get another job which she had applied for and within an hour had also got another (a third one) job. So she could take her pick from two jobs and she chose the best one. She is still working for that company a few years later. Magic works in wondrous ways. Thanks for giving us a peek into your book.

[@hospitalcakewalk]

.... That's extremely pathetic. You could just get her exactly what she asked for. It's extremely easy... it's fool proof. It ALWAYS works EXACTLY how it's supposed to if you're able to do it.

Great book. I love your journaling process. And I do my index the same as you instead of a table of contents at the front. Works so much better for a working book.

[@aimeeagatha7454]

I absolutely loved this! Thank you so being so generous in sharing it! I believe LOADS of people get many images online and print them too. Kudos to you for documenting your turning of the wheel. Loved the changing altars too!

[@TeiaKennedy]

Thank you! I’m so glad you watched!! 😊

[@angelbabesuz1612]

Simply love your book, I am a baby witch (better late than never, right?) I am Scottish born/bred, nice to see you have Scottish ancestry 😊 I have been looking around for info to start my own BoS/Grimoire and I am loving your input, i've been trying to google for some of your images but I can't seem to find them but thank you for sharing 💜

Good morning. Teia. Loved seeing Miss Deborah's book shown in your BOS. She is one of the sweetest ladies in the craft. This is the first reference I've heard to the 5-Goddess. I think that may resonate more with me as well. Research is always a good thing. Thank you for sharing. Blessings! ~Rain

[@TeiaKennedy]

I made a video on the 5-Fold Goddess a little bit ago, if you want to check it out for more info 😊 Deborah Blake is so lovely, I find her so very accessible for any pagan practitioner.

[@WitchyRichie]

I love Shel Silverstein. I haven’t thought of using his poetry in my book, but have used other poetry. Thanks for the tips.

[@TeiaKennedy]

Thank you for watching!!

[@paperwormscat9760]

I always print pictures off the internet for all of my journals, and in the 7 years I've been making journal flip through videos, no one has ever come after me. 😂 Love book! Be blessed! 🖤

[@TeiaKennedy]

LOL ok cool...glad I’m not the only one! 😝

[@erisenigma]

This is so lovely 💜💜 Thank you for sharing your BoS!!

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

I love this! Your book of shadows is beautiful! I've been holding out on doing a video of mine, I'm a tad nervous as mine is more of a junk journal book of shadows 😅

[@TeiaKennedy]

Oh do share! Junk journal style books are always so gorgeous!!

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

@@TeiaKennedy I will definitely have to do one!

Beautiful grimoire teia 😍

[@kriscobain290]

I like your book. I tend to look at videos like this because i find it intresting how everyone makes theirs personal.

[@TeiaKennedy]

Thank you for watching! I’m glad you liked it 😊

I use a local black bridge that has a small burn under it in the woods I tie ribbons to the railings and use it as an altar Alec from Scotland

[@TeiaKennedy]

Very cool!! And all the way from Scotland? Love it!!

Hi, Wondering what kind of notebook did you use? Love how you made it really no fuss and very usable.

[@TeiaKennedy]

It’s at sketch book.

[@Kate-yb7fg]

@@TeiaKennedy great idea

[@Kate-yb7fg]

Hi, I was wondering where the 3 keys to the witches path comes from please.

[@TeiaKennedy]

Not sure on their origins, but I got them from Weave the Liminal by Laura Tempest Zakroff.

[@hergardendiary]

Hi Teia, can I ask where you purchased your sketchbook from?

[@TeiaKennedy]

From Michael’s. It’s just an 8.5”x11” hard cover sketch book! 😊

[@hergardendiary]

@@TeiaKennedy Thank you 😊 our Michael's in Regina is closed till February due to a fire 🔥 😔

Youre not supposed to cite sources or original authors in an actual book of shadows because it brings bad luck (it used to bring death) to the original author... The witches wheel starts on Yule. Not imbolc...

[@TeiaKennedy]

@@hospitalcakewalk who says you’re not supposed to cite sources? Do you have a reference for this please? I’ve literally never heard that in all my years. Just because my book starts at Imbolc in no way is meant to imply that it MUST start then. It’s a journal that started in the New Year, so the first documented Sabbat was Imbolc. Please don’t take my personal documentation so seriously, I’m not the official spokesperson on Witchcraft.

[@hospitalcakewalk]

@TeiaKennedy .... Yes I know your don't know anything about the craft... So if you actually did ANY research on witchcraft, you'd see women started destroying people by burning them at the stake/ stoning/ hanging them because women (all which women like yourself) read a book that the catholic church put out.... one of the ways white women (like yourself) found other people (people of color/ men cuz men were the shape shifters of the universe) guilty was finding 'books' or 'recipes' (especially the recipe cards given out by men in ancient German for homeopathic cures) that INCLUDED THE ORIGIONAL AUTHORS NAME. Once they found those, the white women would immediately go after them and the church would punish them... I know since you have nothing to do with the actual craft except maybe being a dependant of a hunter, you wouldn't know at all what it is but holy shit that's so sad... because history exists.. But yeah, leave it up to a white woman to try to destroy something men and women of color have been using since life started.....
