Book of Shadows
Judika Illes adds that the "Charmed Book of Shadows" describes the show's witches much in the same way as the real world Italian "Benandanti" traditions. She claims the show draws deeply on wiccan terminology and ritual (such as the witches' adding information to their "Book of Shadows"), but asserts that it is still a fantasy show. In "The Book of Shadows: The Unofficial Charmed Companion", Ngaire E. Genge talks about the "Charmed Book of Shadows" in relationship to a modern wiccan Book of Shadows and the ancient grimoires of such notables as "Abra-Melen the Mage" and King Solomon. The author is more critical of "Charmed"'s use of the book compared to real-world wiccans but adds, as Buckland did, that it is still a fantasy show. While not specifically mentioning the "Charmed Book of Shadows" by name, "The Craft: A Witch’s Book of Shadows", by Dorothy Morrison, appears to have been highly influenced by the series and features the same triquetra symbol on its cover as does the Halliwells' "Book of Shadows".
