Hearken as the witches word, calls the

Bridge the vast realities, an it harm none do as you please.
Elements protect & guard this book from wandering eyes & prying look
And fill it with thine ancient power, in this right & ready hour.
Powers of North, the Earth below, help
me to live, to learn, to grow.
Lend your strength & stability, to practice the craft & love be free.
Powers of the East, the wind, the sky, watch over these pages with thine eyes.
Your wisdom & knowledge for these I do ask, that this book be worthy of
the craft & it's task.

And to the untrained eye let see, confusing

For freewill of all, & harm to none
As I have willed it shall be done.
So mote it be!

Mother Goddess, Father God,
Elements of the North, South, East and West,
I ask you to bless this Book of Shadows.
May it be used only for good,
And may the knowledge within be positive and enriching.
May the magick never be used to harm, but only to help and protect.
Keep this Book of Shadows safe from those who would
use the knowledge for negative purposes,
And help me to know, to dare and to be silent.
As more knowledge fills the empty pages,
May my heart and spirit also be filled,
My spiritual self growing and changing.
Mother Goddess, Father God,
Earth, Air, Fire and Water,
Bless this Book of Shadows.
As I will it, so mote it be!
