This is the text of the Gardnerian Book of Shadows. This is the central sacred text of the Wicca religion, and one of its founding documents. The Book of Shadows was attributed by Gardner to an ancient, clandestine witch cult, which he claimed to have been initiated into. The text shows influences from English and Celtic Folklore, the Enochian system of John Dee, Thelema, the Golden Dawn, Stregaria, Tantric Yoga, the KJV Bible and even Kipling. This version organizes the material in chronological order and has estimated dates for each section, ranging from 1949 to 1961.
