Your Personal Book of Shadows

The purpose of your Book of Shadows is for it to be a place to record all of your magickal workings and information.

A good formating can make things easier to find. Here is an outline of how you can organize your Book of Shadows.

Dedication-

The date (or date range) you started this BOS
A book blessing/dedication

Rules & Beliefs

Spiritual Goals -

Short term
Long term
Dates accomplished

Altar Diagram

Correspondences -

Moon
Colors
Days
Hours
Planets
Herbs
Incense & Oils
Etc.

Deity Information -

Organise by pantheon

Tools -

purpose
consecration

Spells & Charms

Recipes

Rituals



Here is some food for thought: Why do you keep a Book of Shadows? A lot of covens and/or traditions do not allow their members and practitioners to share their BOS, would you? If so, who and why or why not?
