Book of Shadows (biography)
- Book of Shadows (biography)
"Book of Shadows" is a 1998 memoir written by author Phyllis Curott.
Summary
When high-powered Manhattan lawyer Phyllis Curott began exploring witchcraft, she discovered a spiritual movement that defied all stereotypes. Encountering neither Satanic rites nor eccentric spinsters, she came to know a clandestine religion of the Goddess that had been forced into hiding over the course of history.
The Book of Shadows chronicles Curott's remarkable initiation into Wicca (meaning "wise one"), her ascent to the position of Wiccan high priestess, and her efforts to reconcile her newfound spirituality with her struggles as a woman rising through the ranks of the corporate world. Along the way, she relates the history of witchcraft. She also shares many traditional Wiccan practices - such as casting a circle, drawing down the Goddess, and casting spells for health, prosperity, and love.
