Summary: It's ok
Review: This book is an alright read. If you are looking for a book to gain info witchcraft there are far better ones out there. Such as, To Ride A Silver Broomstick by Silver Ravenwolf. The one good this about the book is that it contains info. on various episodes.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: unofficial charmed companion book of shadows
Review: this book is based on the tv show. it has warnings to be carefull what you are doing. It has no real basis on the
actual book of shadows. Not a book for actual witches!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why this book is so relivant....
Review: This book is great for so many reasons, I could not write them all here. However, the one reason that stands out is all the questions asked, as well as the differences of opinions and views. I would like to remind everyone that yes this is a "Television show" make believe, and yet they have added some truth in little places and practices. People looking to buy this book should really realize this. To put it simply " I wanted to be wonder women when I was young, but, I never saw an invisable plane or tried to find one." Still it is a wonderful way to escape from the now adays terror and tragedys that are occuring around us. So if you want to enjoy the show, enjoy the show. If you want to learn more about Wicca or what have you, this book is a great way to start off as well. My philosophy "To each their own". Enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Book Of Shadows
Review: This is a great book to get if you love the show 'Charmed' and like the spells they do on the show. Even if you don't believe in this stuff, its fun to pretend. I love Charmed and this book was a great thing to add to my collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I thought i'll never find it !
Review: This is a very special book to me because I love the show Charmed on the WB and I am very very interested in magical stuff especially witch-craft!, and so it is like two in one for me!.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beware
Review: This is not about the series. Kids should avoid. It is geared for people who want to learn about modern day witches, witchcraft, etc. That's fine, but lots of people like the Charmed show and it barely touches upon that. Returned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I was Charmed!
Review: This was a fantastic book that had lots of info for the TV show! Mistakes, Episode Guide, Character cast, and tons more! I highly recommened it for anyone that loves Charmed or the Wiccan ways!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Charming!
Review: To the practitioners of witchcraft and the followers of the religion known as Wicca, the phrase "Book of Shadows" refers to a journal of sorts. Traditionally, a "Book of Shadows" is a blank book that is gradually filled up with spells, meditations, ideas and notes on "The Craft". The creators and writers of the tv show "Charmed" use "The Book of Shadows as more of a spell book, but also as a way for the Halliwell sisters to grasp how they came to be endowed with special powers and how their ancestral female family members dealt with the supernatural. Author N.E. Genge combines these ideas to make a fun and knowledge-filled book. Although billed as "The Unofficial 'Charmed' Companion", this is no lightweight script adaptation or silly "Behind the Scenes" look at what Alyssa Milano likes to eat for breakfast. Instead, the first section concentrates on what a beginner or teen witch needs to have as she takes the first steps on her path of learning. The first chapter entitled "The Witches Chest", touches upon the meaning and power of many different items-herbs, gems and crystals, even everyday stuff like paper and ink. Did you know you could use hair ribbons to bind people or parts of a spell together? The second chapter, "The Witches Place", deals more with the actual altar, the private area where a witch works. Sacred items such as the athame and cauldron and their various uses in spell craft are explained. Some beginning spells are also given, like ones to protect a house and to make you or a friend more lovable. But Genge is definitely all about the learning--trying to give just a taste of arcane knowledge to the readers. The point is made many times that a teen or someone who only recently got interested in witchcraft and Wicca (especially someone who heard about it on "Charmed") needs to explore, to do research, rather than rush in and experiment with things they don't understand. Throughout these lessons, there are little notes about the show, as well as about different terms used, kind of like Wicca "Pop-Up Video" facts. Genge also poses questions for the young witch to ponder as she learns more about herself and the old ways. The second section of the book is a detailed guide to the series "Charmed". Genge gives a key to each episode, including its title, guest stars and writers, as well as a short plot synopsis of each. Then the author does something interesting-asks the reader to be an "Observant Witch". "Magical Notes" are given on the supernatural significance of each episode, as well as what traditions are being explored and which stories came out of legends and myths. Readers are asked to view each show through eyes of someone who practices "The Craft" and try to hone their awareness of the many levels of the world. Again, questions are asked and ideas are brought up, as study points for the newly initiated. This "Book of Shadows" even goes so far as to have a section of bloopers where dedicated "Charmed" fans can see how close they truly are watching. It truly is a good starting off place for a teen interested in the finding out more about "That Old-Time Religion".
