What is the book of shadows?

The book of shadows is a book/journal people who practice any kind of witchcraft or sourcery keep to write down infomation, ingredience, and records of their craft. And most pages also involve chants and prayers (abit like a bible or quran used by religeous people) some also include runes especially those who are advanced at the craft and prefer to keep their crafts secrate.

In ancient times it was unknown, never seen or found out weather or not witches had books or journals recording their crafts like we do today, We beleive the reason being is because witchcraft was illigal and if found or confessed could lead to excecution or any accusation lead to torture for a confession. Witches would generally pass infomation down to each other orally or were known to folow their own instincts and use their own intuition and had great power to cast how they liked or thought and felt without any given infomation, its because of them that today we find infomation from people who are blood born with witchcraft families who have had infomation passed from centuries and would often write books to reveal this to people today.
