The Book of Shadows - 1693
Ever since I first saw this book on Charmed I knew I had to have it… so I made it.
20 years of research and practice, 2 years of hard work and here it is. 300 illustrated pages of spells, potions and magic bound in leather.

Step by step process of the making of the charmed book of shadows title page
Illuminated letters B and S originally copied from "The Illuminated Alphabet" by Timothy Noad (first published in 1994)
The letters were reinterpreted and used in the title page from the Charmed Book of Shadows. Hand lettered and illuminated by calligraphy artist Deann Singh in 1998.
This is my replica of the title page. Created in 2019 using gouache and watercolors on aged parchment paper.

Eames
“A cunning Warlock who has collected the powers of Cloning, Transmogrification, and Fire. In 1991, Eames murdered a Witch in Glasgow, Scotland and stole the Cloning Power. In 1989, Eames killed a Witch in Nairobi, Kenya and took the Power of Transmogrification. All witches should consider him to be a serious threat.”

THE SLAVE KING
“Cruel even by Underworld standards, The Slave King has subjected a lesser demon species to do his bidding for centuries. Surrounded by his demonic court, his word is law. Suffering by the thousands, death is the only escape his slaves can hope for.”
