Book of Shadows and Light Journal by Lucy Cavendish

YOU, YES YOU – YOU BRIGHT, BRAVE SOUL. EMERGE A LITTLE FROM THAT DARK PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE HIDDEN AWHILE. LET US SEE YOU AGAIN. BETTER STILL, LET US SEE YOUR LIGHT SHINE.

This book of Shadows and Light Journal is dedicated to the reclaiming of magick. Every mark you make within it is a mark of dedication to your soul. When you make your mark within these pages, you will generate the courage to realise your potentials, the ability to create what your soul desires and the power to see how free and strong you truly are.

A Book of Shadows and Light is your own sacred, magickal journal. For hundreds of years, wise ones, magicians, witches and lightworkers of all kinds have kept personal journals in which they have recorded their soul-questing. Be it through meditation, inner exploration, mystic adventure, spiritual travels, magickal manifestation or blessed spell crafting and casting, the uncovering of each individual enchanted path is full of unique wisdom. With this Book of Shadows and Light, you join these magickal practitioners in the quest to realise your soul’s energy as it is meant to manifest within the world.

Every Book of Shadows and Light is a place where you can explore your own experiences of magick. This can be private or as public as you wish it to be. There is a magickal law which is, “to know, to dare, to will, to keep silent.” Within these pages, I hope you do all of those things. Whether you keep silent-as in, keep your book for your eyes alone-is entirely up to you. But there is power in knowing yourself, and this can take time. So my suggestion would be to keep your book for your own eyes, your own exploration, for a good while, while you begin the magickal rite of knowing thyself.

I wish you to know that you are a sacred being, full of natural magick. It is a magickal truth that the use of your Book will bring you closer and closer to the beauty, magick and wonder of your soul and to this beautiful, blue and green planet.

Blessed Be, magickal one,

LUCY
