As your Wiccan library and cupboard grow with books and supplies, you may want to keep lists of the books and authors that you have and lists of supplies you have (altar cloths, candle colors, herbs etc) in your BOS (or at least keep a lists in with the items) so you know, at hand, what you have.

CM

you can put anything you want in your own book of shadows. all the things in there must have a meaning for you as no noe eles is supposed to look inside it.

spells
rituals
chants
mantras
speaical places
experinces you have had
and so on xxxx

lol my BOS is just a cute purple notebook with a pic of winnie the pooh

so, basically anything about witchcraft can be in right??

we dont have to arrange in according right?

keep all records of what you do against differnt types of encounter you come accross and write down how you handle them...

also keep a list of spells handy on the book of shadows

when you buy a book of shadows. is there spells and rituals in it already or do u have to put them in your self

selda, you can buy a book of shadows with spells already in it, but you are basically buying someone else's book.

A book of shadows is meant to be a creation of your life in magick. Your spells, rituals, what you've learned, what works for you.
