The Legendarium is a magical book created by Acheron that was owned by Selina that appears in Season 6. She usually shrinks and hangs it on the belt around her skirt. The Legendarium book is currently owned by Selina in which she used to help the Trix.
Overview
The keeper of the Legendarium can summon any number of wild creatures from the book just by reading it out loud.

Legendarium is a brown book which has many patterns, a purple circle with a symbol in the center, a lock, and a hook on its cover. Inside of it has many drawings and stories about the legendary creatures of Magic Dimension and Earth.
History
Pre-Series
The Legendarium is a book that has the power to bring legendary creatures to life and can make legends come true. An evil wizard named Acheron created it, so he would be the greatest sorcerer of the magical universe, but he could not control it, which trapped him in the book. It was once kept in the Lost library of Alexandria in Egypt. A Fairy Godmother named Eldora, who guarded the library, was the only one who knew how to lock it. She wrote all its secret in her diary. Subsequently, she brought her apprentice named Selina to the library and accidentally read the legend of the Hawk Spirit, which invoked it. Out of panic, she turned it into a pig, while Selina returned it back to its book. While Eldora traveled around the world to find a way to lock it, she put it in her house in the Forest of Flowers. Acheron dealt with Selina and told her that he would turn her into a powerful witch, and in return, she must work for him and free him. To prove his power to her, he turned her into the "Witch of Snakes". Eldora returned and secured it with a barrier. One night, under a full moon, Selina chose Acheron over Eldora and fled from the forest with the Legendarium.

To show Ms Griffin her special talent to be accepted the school for witches, Selina shows Ms Griffin and the Witches the Legendarium. After the witch headmistress asked her to demonstrate its power, Selina reads the Gloomy Wood Trolls's legend, and order them to attack Pixie Village, which they do. They only disappear when Ms Griffin says she saw enough and mentions that the Legendarium is a very powerful and dangerous book. Not long after, the Trix take Ms Griffin's place as headmistresses and make a deal with Selina. If she works with them reading legends when she is asked to, they will give her more power.
In "The Flying School", in an attempt to win Linphea College, the Trix make Selina read the Treants' legend to freighten the college's students. The Linphea fairies try to fight but get captured by them. The Winx fly to Cloud Tower, which is flying, to stop whoever started that, but they get attacked by Selina and, except Bloom, lose their powers.
In "Bloomix Power", the Winx, Daphne, the Specialists, Roy, Nex and Thoren return to Linphea College to stop the Treants with magical potions concocted by Flora. After the Treants are defeated, Selina reads the Flying Basilisk's legend. While Bloom and the Specialists take care of Cloud Tower, the other Winx, Roy and the two Paladins have a hard time fighting without the girls's power, even with Miele's help.
In "The Golden Auditorium", the Winx finally succeed to get rid of the Flying Basilisks. As the Winx are at the Golden Auditorium on Melody, Selina, as ordered by the Trix, reads the Pandemonium Sprites' legend. Bloom, Flora, Stella and Aisha defeated by those creatures, Musa and Tecna lure them to the Pandemonium Cave to use its echoing to defeat them.
In "The Vortex of Flames", this time wanting to get rid of Bloom, Selina reads the Fire Eaters' legend. It is only after Bloom was thrown in the Vortex of Flames and passed its test that the Winx can defeat them with Bloom's help.
In "The Lost Library", while the Winx are in Alexandria on Earth, Selina reads the Mummies' legend to distract the Winx and give more time to the Trix to find Eldora's Diary before the Fairies. Thanks to Chatta, they easily defeat them.
In "Attack of the Sphinx", again to distract the Fairies and give more time to the Trix, Selina reads the Sphinx's legend and goes to the library to search for the diary by herself. The Winx resolve ots riddle, again thanks to Chatta, and find the diary.
In "Shrine of the Green Dragon" after the Trix get caught, Selina reads the Green Dragons of the Great Wall's legend. Lu Wei, at first not wanting to help them, tells the Winx how to tame them and they succeed.
In "Broken Dreams", to get rid of Bloom, Selina reads the Children of the Night's legend. Bloom tries to help the Pixies but cannot do anything alone.
In "Shimmer in Shadows" the Winx teleport to Earth to help their friends. All get captured except Stella. With her sun powers, she succeeds to fight them and free her friends.
In "The Fairy Godmother", Eldora tells the Hawk Spirit's legend in a flashback of when Selina was her student. After the flashback, Selina reads the Ectoplasm Specters's legend. Seeing none of the Winx can do anything to defeat them, Eldora recites the legend of the Lenugias, which power defeats the Trix and the Ectoplasm Specters.
In "Mystery of Calavera", Selina reads Three Powerful Witches legend in order to get the Trix to enter the Legendarium with their role as "Three Powerful Witches".
