  1. My favorite Book of Shadows is the one in Practical Magic. It looks so ancient and full of knowledge from so many generations of Owens' women.

  5. The Book of Shadows from Practical Magic!

  6. I adore the book of Shadows from Hocus Pocus! The way it interacted was so awesome! I have always believed that when you have something that you put so much of yourself into, then you form a bond of sorts with that thing. In a way, that BOS demonstrated that bond.

  7. Gotta be the Book of Shadows from Charmed! That cover is so beautiful!

  18. Not strictly a "book of shadows" but I've always loved John Winchester's journal that Sam and Dean use on Supernatural!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love the Book of Shadows from Charmed (which is my favorite tv show) and Practical Magic (which is my favorite movie)!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I see that this is pretty much taken already but I too liked the one from Charmed.

    ReplyDelete
  21. No thinking on this one, Practical Magic! 😎🌟🌕⭐

    ReplyDelete
  22. Practical Magic! Of course ! love it 💜

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well, my favorite one is not called "book of shadow" but I like the necronomicon from Lovecraft. There is a real universe around it !

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love the one from Charmed! It was my first experience with a BOS! I will never forget it!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love the BOS from Charmed! So much history!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Charmed, BOS, it's a good memory for my daughter and I.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Charmed, BOS, it's a good memory for my daughter and I.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Though I like the BOS from Practical Magic, I think one of my favorites is the Tomb of Eternal Darkness from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Great Lovecraftian themed game.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The Book of Shadows from Charmed is still my favorite.
    Looks like I am not alone in that opinion. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  30. The book of shadows from Practical Magic was my 2nd favourite, but "Book" from Hocus Pocus just squeaked in as my favourite. I just loved the eyeball & the character they gave what generally speaking, is usually an inanimate object.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Practical Magic of course! That movie in general hold a special place in my heart! 💜

    ReplyDelete
  32. The Book of Shadows for Charmed was my favorite. The lettering and the antique look to the book was amazing.

  33. The book of shadows from Practical Magic. It it's a beautiful books. It looks old and hand made. It's not all nice and neat, the pages are sticking out. It's beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The Book of shadows from Charmed is the one that comes to mind first. Beautiful cover, lettering, and artwork along with the interesting content.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'd have to say that the Book of Shadows from Charmed has been my favorite. The artwork along with the penmanship on each page was just stunning. Not to mention that the Book itself was a character all it's own. I think that just makes it one of the best all around.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I like the Book of Shadows from Charmed

    ReplyDelete
  37. My favorite would have to be this beautiful Grimoire they had in Buffy. It was soft-brown leather covered in intricate metalwork. It was beautiful and to this day I can still remember it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love the book from practical magic the best.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I will say Professor JRR Tolkien's Silmarillion, which includes the Ainulindalë, Valaquenta and the Lay of Leithian (story of Beren and Luthien - beautiful!). Some may say the Red Book of Westmarch hehehe! Anyway, we call the Silmarillion the "Parma Nolë" which means the Book of Deep Knowledge/Lore :-) https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/bitstream/handle/1887/29078/summary.pdf - And? For photos of my absolute DREAM version, clearly influenced by the Book of Kells - I wish! http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/902-Benjamin-Harff-Interview-Edel-Silmarillion.php

  40. When it comes to my favorite Book of Shadows, Charmed is where it's at. It is my favorite show after all :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. I actually rather like the one in The Witches of Eastwick. Even though it belonged to the "bad guy" it was still a cool grimoire.

    ReplyDelete
  42. So far my favorite Book of Shadows would be the Charmed Sisters three. Their pages are full of family and history.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hocus Pocus has my favorite media Book of Shadows.

    ReplyDelete
  44. For me it's Mary's Book of Shadows from the Salem TV series (2014). I tried to start my own Book of Shadows too but according to my own pattern, different from the movie, written by black ink and blood. Need some more information about how to continue.

    ReplyDelete
  45. My favorite Book of Shadows is definitely the one from Charmed! I love the design!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I haven't seen very many BOS' on TV or the movies, so I guess the one in Charmed is my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Practical Magic's BOS, with its hidden book within a book, OR "BOOOOOK!" from Hocus Pocus, I mean who wouldn't want a book that helps you out a little? BTW I have that as the alarm for my kids' reading time ;)

    ReplyDelete
  48. My favorite BOS is probably the one from Practical Magic! While somewhat rooted in reality, it still has that old-world charm and otherworldliness to it, even if we don't get to see it in full! A BOS with Midnight Margaritas can't be bad, right?

    The other one I like would be the book from Hocus Pocus! It's creepy but cute all at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  49. My first favorite was from the Sabrina the Teenage Witch movie and then show. As a kid, I remember trying to make my own. I spend hours decorating the covers of little stapled together homemade books so I could be a witch. I still have to draw and color on the cover of my book of shadows that I own today. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  50. I have two, Practical Magic and Charmed. My favorite though is Charmed :-) Blessed Be.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love both the books from Practial Magic and Charmed!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. This book series are amazing like the witch's mirror illusttations and informations ... I cant talk I must read again ��

    ReplyDelete
  53. I can't lie, my favourite BOS is my own but it's not a fiction book, on TV, on any movie, books or video games... so I must tell you, my second favorite is A Sorcerer's Cookbook: Recipes for Enchantment From Aphrodite's Oysters to Violet Bonbons by Brigitte Bulard-Cordeauthe and the third one is the BOS from the movie Pratical Magic. Thanks for this giveaway Mickie Mueller <3

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love the BOS they used in the movie Witches of Eastwick.

    ReplyDelete
  55. It would have to be the Charmed BoS for me

    ReplyDelete
  56. BoS from Charmed, I love the design! Although my first fav is the Codex from Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears!

    ReplyDelete
  57. The book of Shadows in the Movie Hocus Pocus.....would love a copy of yours to treasure!

    ReplyDelete
  58. The Librarians have a book that alerts them when there is a disruption in magic

    ReplyDelete
  59. Ohhh easy answer...Charmed BOS...their BOS was Amazing!! All hand drawn and written...they say it was the most expensive thing on the set!! I would LOVE to have something like that handed down to me...but I'm a first generation witch in my family...maybe I will have something good to handdown to my kids!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  60. It's been fun reading everyone's favorites, saw a couple I'd never heard of before. I know I've seen BOS in a couple of anime series that I have watched but I've got a case of Fibro Fog and can't think of them. Although the on in Practical Magic is a favorite of mine with the three fold style. But screw the book and give me that herb room! Am I right?? Ha ha just kidding, mostly ;)

    ReplyDelete
  61. You mean besides my own? Lol. I like the Feminist Book of Light and Shadows by Z. Budapest and of course, Charmed. I've been wanting this book and would love to win.

    ReplyDelete
  62. All the books of shadows from ALL movies mentioned are awesome even the ones in scary movies but my favorite book of shadows is A grimoire of shadows by Ed Fitch. I am working on my own it has been a lifetime of spells and experiences.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I'm going to say my favorite BoS is from the Secret Circle. I honestly don't remember too much about the cover but I was blown away by the interior pages...the detailed drawings, the beautiful handwriting...just breathtakingly beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hocus Pocus! It has an eyeball embedded in it. How cool is that?

  67. Dr Isikolo Is the Best to help you get your partner back to you
    It's a shame that I doubted spell and psychic readings that people post online of a worthy spell casters. I am writing here on this website because I want to assure people who need help one way or the other, to know Dr Isikolo who will help with that your problem you are facing. I lost my husband because I could not give him a child. Endometriosis was the cause of my infertility. After 2 years of separation, my husband never came home seeing another woman. To cut it short, I went online and saw testimonies online but also searched for reliable spell casters. Dr Isikolo was one recommended as being a very trusted, real and reliable to help. I contacted him and explained my problem to him about my infertility issue and my husband seeing other women. He assured me of complete happiness. I did all he told me and today I am happy writing about him. I was surprised when my husband came home apologizing. This encounter with this man made me rejoice. My husband begged me and after I agreed, he slept home that night and we had sex after 2 years for the first time and it was a great moment. I got pregnant and I am the happiest woman writing this testimony today online today because I am a mother of twins and want other who wants help to contact this man too. His email is isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or Whatsapp +2348133261196

  68. My boyfriend broke up with me 2 months ago, because he felt i was cheating on him with a male friend of mine, i tried all i could to explain to him but he paid deaf ears, i was emotionally devastated because i really loved him until i saw a post on the internet about DR ISIKOLO, who helps people gain back their lost lover, at first i doubted if it was real because i never believed in such things but i decided to give him a try, I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a Love spell for me The process of the spell to reunite lovers is very simple and he works selflessly people the same way he restored my relationship within 48 hours and my boyfriend was calling and begging to make up with me again, if you need help to repair your relationship or marriage problem. Here’s his contact, WhatsApp/Viber him on: +2348133261196, Email him: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com.

  69. I HAVE MY ex partner BACK AND DR ISIKOLO MADE IT POSSIBLE
    Many people have wrote articles of how they were helped by a spell caster but I am very grateful to this great spell caster who brought my ex husband back to me. This testimony is a true story and my name is Monika Simun. When i came in contact with this man was also through a testimony written about him and i have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life. To get back with an ex is one of the most inner most feeling many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent for almost 6 years and though my ex husband was far away from my kids i still wish someday he will return back to me. This spell doctor i encountered known as DR ISIKOLO helped me with my wishes and i am happy to say that i am back with my ex husband and i am very happy sharing the testimony with everyone so that they too can meet this great doctor and solve their problems. I don't know what others might feel about getting their ex back in their life but i always know there is a blessing in disguise with just a single re-connection with an ex. If you want to successfully get back with your ex, contact this great spell caster at his Whatsapp +2348133261196 or email isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com and share an awesome testimony too just like me.

  70. I had doubts about magic spells after purchasing many spells that never worked and actually decided to never buy a spell again. I have tried different casters..Some of them never answered me after I paid and were obvious scammers, some really cast a spell but for some reason it didn't work. Then I saw a video on you-tube with a person who was mentioning she had results with DR,Okojie. Despite the suspicions I had her site looked real so I gave spells a last try. It's probably the best decision I ever made in my life because it worked and my wife came back with me After I broke up with Her I spent a lot of time wishing that I could just turn the clock backwards she helped me do just that. In fact our relationship feels like the break up never even happened. We have never been this happy or passionate, all thanks to Mrs Okojie. If you're looking for a good spell caster look no further, Mrs Okojie surpass all other spell-casters,you can contact her straight on (mrsokojiehealinghomeforall@gmail.com) mrsokojiehealinghomeforall@gmail.com

  71. I'm Helena Leon from London, My husband and I have been married for over 10 years. We met when I was 20 and he was 24. We've been through alot emotionally together. There were several HUGE fights and painful situations in our marriage, but we always seemed to come out stronger on the other side. Out of the blue my husband sprung a divorce talk on me, I was blind-sided! I didn't see it coming, I didn't recognize the signs. He stopped wearing his wedding ring and I thought nothing of it. He no longer finds me sexually attractive. I couldn't help but cry all the time because I was extremely hurt. I was totally depressed until I found the Dr ISIKOLO the spell caster from Africa everyone was talking about online and i contacted him for a Love spell. During our conversation, he assured me he was going to bring my husband back in less than 48 hours of his spell casting. To me it seemed impossible. You won’t believe my husband called after immediately after 24 hours begging for me to forget whatever he said about the divorce. I was totally amazed! There is so much love in my family since i used his spells. He is wonderful and his spells work so fast. Now my husband loves me way more than before. You could also reach out to him if you are having problems with your marriage or relationship. Email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com You can also Whatsapp him on +2348133261196

  72. After being in relationship with him for seven years, he broke up with me. I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain. I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him and I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster DR ILEKHOJIE that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it. I mailed the spell caster and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before two days that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me and I was so surprised so I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: gethelp05@gmail.com or his WhatsApp/Viber him on: +2348147400259

  73. my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody at baby center told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, We contacted him at this email; babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka , for him to help us, then we told him our problem, he told us that we will conceive once we follow his instructions ,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad we came to Priest Babaka, Because his pregnancy spell cast and herbal remedy help us, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka if you are trying to have a baby or want your lover back. he has powers to do it, he has done mine
