Book of Shadows

Hello everyone,
I've been working in a book of shadows(of sorts) for awhile now. I have include things such as my beliefs, about the elements, herbs and crystals,visualisation,casting a circle, grounding and centring among other things. I realise that it is my book of shadows but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about what else to put in it, I'm a witch not a Wicca or a neo-pagan so I don't really want to include anything about gods or goddess or the like. Even if you have any tips for making it look nice or anything would be appreciated, thanks!

It's also a journal or your rituals, dreams, and divinations.

I agree to me a BOS is a history. A journal cataloging my experiences even if they don't all occur within a ritual circle. Fore ample if I find myself thinking about my brother and then he calls out of the blue I'll write that in there describing how I felt before during and after his call so that I have those feelings and thoughts for future reference if I ever want to attempt and recreate the experience on purpose.

I put my spells and the conditions for them, and also a few entities in it ( actually I have two books of shadows, one is a nice stor bought empty book and the other is a huge 500 page book I made where I put the mor theoretical stuff which might come in handy sometime in the future

I use my book as a biography of my majikal journey. I dont write everything down, just major things. I use it as a reference for working spells, correspondences, meditations, and any other magickal or spiritual workings ive done or am doing successfully and in the future.
