5 Important Things to Put In Your Book of Shadows~
1. Your Belief System - Of course, you should put your belief system in your Book of Shadows. Why not? It’s yours, right? And your belief is a wonderful, powerful thing – especially when it comes to magick. You should be putting your belief system in your Book of Shadows. Write all about it! Maybe you consider yourself Wiccan, pagan, Atheist, Christian, or something else. Maybe you just call yourself an Eclectic Witch and leave it at that (Me). Either way, you should be writing all you can about your belief system…including the laws and rules, you believe in.
2. Types of Magick - There is so many types of magick, it’s unbelievable. It truly makes magick…erm…magickal.But here’s the thing: You should definitely be writing down the different types of magick. Think of it more as a reference list that you can go back to when creating spells. If you want to create a spell to make someone leave you specifically alone, you may look at that list and go…huh. A binding spell to keep them from causing harm, or a jar spell, or a puppet spell, or a…You get the point.
3. Charts and Correspondences - What is a Book of Shadows without charts and correspondences? There’s so much information it’s crazy. Candle color meanings (or color meanings).Number meanings. Dream interpretation of meanings.Tarot meanings.Rune meanings.Metal meanings.Flower meanings.Seashell meanings…Yeah, it’s so much it can probably fill a book. Or two.
4. In-depth information on your “area of expertise” - Let me clarify. When I say “area of expertise”, I’m only assuming that you have now practiced some magick and want to “specialize” in something. You know…Be a “green witch”, a “kitchen witch”, a “whatever other kinds of witch”.For the record, you can, and should, practice all sorts of magick. But you also should do certain types of spells more than others. For example, if you focused on sigil magick versus other types of magick, you’ll be a lot more powerful when it comes to sigil magick than other people. And the best part? If you are in a dire situation, all you have to do is whip out a pen and paper (or your phone…tech magick!) and cast a sigil spell. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. You’ll result will often be a lot better than if you cast another spell, too.
5. And of course, spells and rituals - Naturally, what is a BoS without spells and rituals? You can put Spells you’ve tried Spells you found online spells you found in books pulls you create spells you haven’t even tried yet rituals you create rituals you haven’t tried yetSpells and Rituals in areas of magick you aren’t quite familiar with yet but will want to try…at some point. It doesn’t have to be just spells you found or created or even tried. You can simply save a spell for later. Now, you have one hell of a good magickal Book of Shadows.
But don’t stop there.
