I always thought a book of shadows was more personal while grimoires where more organized. So a dairy vs a text book

[nashfur]

To put it in simple terms, a grimoire is more like a textbook of magic where a book of shadows is more of a journal and personal record. :D

I'm going to let my mom know that I no longer am going to follow the Christian faith, and she's a devote Christian. Wish me luck!

As someone who has just started exploring their spiritual journey your channel has been amazing for me to binge

A Grimoir can best be compared to a cookbook.it contains magical expirments, basically recipes which have been collected theough the ages.

Hello, I’m French and I’d just like to make a small, tiny, correction in an overall great video.

The word grimoire originated from the word gramaire not grammaire (the second one mean grammar the first in means book of magic) it was originally translated to grymoire in 1165 - the 14 (cycle, era?? I’m sorry, English is very difficult 😥)
but overtime became the word grimoire.
In the Middle Ages “gramaire” became grimoire due to the belief that those who practiced magick and were witches were worshipers of the devil. The word grim comes from the word “grimer” or griffer. This can mean a couple of things like the devils claws and such. This word has sadly been forgotten through time. So basically the word grimoire is a mashup of the words gramaire and grimer 💛

Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You speak very clearly so I find you very easy to follow along with compared to other English Youtubers, keep up the good work

Being Norse Pagan and a practitioner of Galdr and Modr or the Frenzy. I would say think of the Book of Shadows as your journal.

Notes
Data
Information

Your Grimoire, or Tome is what has been researched, then applied as the textbook personally speaking to your practice.

Remember, rather Alchemy, Wicca, or any practice of mysticism. In the end the text, or codex that is your grimoire or tome. Is the sum of all of your knowledge or even knowledge of what you practice. Rather as a group, or solo.

The is for posting this I'm glad to know the difference between the two

Along with the books you mentioned at the end ill have to check them out

[CozyWithRaven]

Really interesting video! I have collected bits of information that I want to put together towards the end of my practice as a way to pass on what I have learnt, I feel like that makes it more of a Grimoire rather than book of shadows.

[KateKrabheart]

love this video!
would be really amazing if perhaps next year you could make a video about the Pagan origins of Epiphany/Twelfth Night, seeing as today is the day ❤️🌟

[Tralaladudette]

I was literally googling this last night!

The book of shadows was named after magical book used by witches and wizards for a long long time before wicca. They weren't called anything other than spell books. It's where Gardner got his idea when creating the religion.

Being a person who learned Heathenry from old Farmers growing up I find these book discussions/Info fascinating. Thank you for your work.

How to write a grimoire:
Add drop caps.
How to write a Book of Shadows:
Leave off the drop caps.
One is a ham and cheese sandwich, the other is a Monte Cristo sandwich. Same ingredients, different presentation.
