This Book of Shadows was found at #WICCAN WAY listed as 'Public Domain'. Most of the material contained here is from ourbooks EIGHT SABBATS FOR WITCHES, WITCHES WAY (Also published as THE WITCHES BIBLE), and several other of our works, although some of it is also from other published sources, and 'traditional'.

We've 'reclaimed' the bits which are ours and added to it to our own Web Pages - after all, we did publish most of it in our books! We're therefore not breaking any 'craft secrets' by placing it on our web pages as all of it can be found on the bookshelves of any Occult Shop or somewhere else on the Internet!

We've had several bits of mail from confused individuals regarding the fact that the festival dates seem to be 6 months out! The fact is they are correct, IF you live BELOW THE EQUATOR. This Book of Shadows is of Australian origin. This means that the festival dates are orientated to the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, so don't be surprised if you find Lammas at Beltane. We have now posted both sets of dates for Northern and Southern Hemispheres to prevent confusion.
