{"product_id":"triple-moon-leather-journal","title":"Triple Moon Leather Journal, 5 x 7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Triple Moon is one of the most recognizable faces of the Goddess in modern witchcraft: a waxing crescent, a full moon, and a waning crescent set side by side for the maiden, the mother, and the crone. This 5 by 7 inch leather journal carries that emblem embossed across the cover, with a pale cabochon set into the central full moon and crescents tooled in a Celtic hand. Inside are 200 blank, unlined pages of handmade paper, held shut by an attached leather cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made to become a Book of Shadows: the working book where a practitioner keeps spells, rituals, correspondences, dreams, and the slow turning of a practice over the years.

Gerald Gardner's mid-twentieth-century Wicca formalized the practice, with each initiate copying rituals and lore by hand into a book of their own. Its ancestors are the older grimoires such as the Key of Solomon, but the idea of a personal, hand-kept book of one's craft belongs to living modern witchcraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Triple Moon on the cover follows the same honest history. The waxing, full, and waning moons are ancient symbols, yet reading them as maiden, mother, and crone was popularized by Robert Graves in \u003cem\u003eThe White Goddess\u003c\/em\u003e in 1948 and woven into Wicca from there. It is a modern synthesis rather than an unbroken ancient lineage, and no less meaningful for it. The three faces trace the cycle of beginning, fullness, and release that runs through any sustained practice, and keeping your work in a book marked with them is a quiet way of dedicating the writing to that turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleanse it first.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pass the cover through cleansing smoke or leave it in moonlight overnight to clear the handling it has been through before it becomes yours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicate the first page.\u003c\/strong\u003e Write an opening dedication, to the Goddess in her three faces or simply to your own practice, naming what this book is for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeep your craft in it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Record spells and their results, ritual outlines, correspondences, dreams, and the questions you are working through.
