Hey everyone. I'm new here, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I couldn't think of where else to put it.
Anyway, like many before me, I began my journey in magic with Wicca. As I studied and grew, I identified with a more generic title of Paganism rather than Wicca. (It has been about 6 years).
Two years ago I decided to start my Book of Shadows that I intend to be a family volume for future generations (it is a large bound book). My dilemma is that I have called and titled it a Book of Shadows when that is a Wiccan belief. Would Grimoire be more appropriate? Likewise, I began it with the Witches' Creed (the long poem, not the Rede). I also included the Wiccan principles of belief (with the idea that they are secular in origin and can be applied to many paths). I am just worried that now these Wiccan ideologies are in my book which I have been building up for two years, and which I would prefer to be non-religion-specific. Aside from the aforementioned, the rest of the book is secular and non denominational. Do you think its problematic?
Sorry this is so long winded, I just had to verbalize it and I would love to register your opinions.
Looking forward to responses.
