Modern Witch’s Spellbook

Description

Fun Trivia: 

A grimoire is a medieval book of spells and incantations, as well as information on charms, talismans, and amulets.  It was like a recipe book to create everything from talismans, charms, amulets, and potions to summoning or invoking spiritual entities like angels. The grimoire spellbook could heal your wounds and restore your health, but it could also provide you with handy amulets to protect yourself, your family and your livesstock.  It’s documented that these medieval charms could help cure your sick pig, protect the food of your cow, and protect your sheep flock when they’re out in the fields. Medieval charms were designed to invoke protection because of their divine connection. 

The charms worked with the “natural forces” or elements of nature to protect, an idea that clearly carried over from paganism.  But later the Christian clergy would take over and use them so they were seen as miracle healers joining forces with God or Christ which they now said gave these amulets and talismans their power.

Another pagan modern denomination is Wicca, and Wiccans call theirs a book of Shadows.
