A friend and I were talking about pagan crafts a few days ago, and when I mentioned my Book of Shadows, he became uncomfortable. I ignored it, but he eventually asked if I practiced 'black' or evil magic. I assured him I did not, and asked why he would think such a thing. He felt that calling my Book of Shadows as such implied it.
I told him that I called it a Book of Shadows for a reason, and that was not because I was toying with satanism or some such. I explained that a shadow is the direct result of light contacting an object. In this instance, the object in question was my knowledge of withcraft. And so, my book was a reflection of sorts.
This made me think: what do you call your book? Is there a reason? Do you hold it special, or is it simply a tool? I'd love to know your opinions on the matter.
