The Internet Book of Shadows

4 sections·639 books

This is a large (+9Mb) collection of articles related to Neo-Paganism which can be found archived at a number of FTP sites (for instance, here ). This is a collection of posts to bulletin boards from the late eighties to the mid nineties, essentially predating the modern Internet. According to a recent communication, the original editor of this archive was Durwydd mac Tara at PODS net. We acknowledge Durwydd's hard work to preserve this archive. For ease of access, we have converted this archive to HTML using a C program. There are a number of technical difficulties with this collection including runtogetherwords in many places, problems with the table of contents and huge inconsistencies in pagination; due to the volume of this material we have left these intact for now.

We have taken the liberty of removing about twenty-five articles which were too far 'off topic', posted elsewhere at this site, or had serious copyright issues. Three articles have been removed at the request of the authors. Other than the omitted articles we have made no attempt to alter any of the content.

NOTE ON COPYRIGHTS

NOTE: As most of these postings were archived many years ago, we have no way to contact the authors of any of these documents. Therefore we can't arrange copyright clearances for any of these pieces or give you the email addresses of the authors. Some of the may have a web presence and you may be able to find them by searching for them through search engines, but because of time limitations we can't directly assist you in this process.

CD-ROM note: For copyright reasons, none of the files on this page are included on the sacred-texts CD-ROM, although it does have most of the public domain files from the neopagan section.

Updates and News

We welcome new submissions for the Internet Book of Shadows from the Neopagan community. Please write us if you have new material you want to contribute to this page. Mention 'IBOS Submission' in the subject line (so we don't get it confused with other correspondence). Note that we don't post everything we receive, only articles similar to the ones below. Sacred-texts reserves the right to do minor reformatting on submitted articles. Please send only HTML or preformatted text files (no PDFs, Word or WordPerfect files, etc.). The less work it is to incorporate your article, the better the chance it will be posted. Attach your file to the mail message in ZIP format so that it arrives without being reformatted by mail readers. We do not post copyrighted material (that is, anything written by you) unless you are the copyright owner and include a release such as This article may be reproduced for non-commercial purposes, providing that this original copyright notice stays in place at all times.
