What to put.. Well, it'll come to you: your book of shadows is your own, not ours. I'll try my best in offering inspiration.
I'm a big fan of crystals - I've got about 30 ^^; - so I'm putting all the meanings of the ones I own, or hope to own in there. I also have my rituals, and other peoples rituals. I admit, I don't tend to have spells as I'm not really that way inclined - I'm more for visualisation and simple chants.
I have some basic theory too - The God + Goddess, Good & Evil as one, the Law of the Power - etc. See, really simple stuff. ^^;
You may want to consider writing stuff that you write yourself in a different pen colour: it's really handy, and perks up your pride in yourself a bit. ^^
Actually. [grabs book of shadows] It'll be easier to explain if I basically do a demonstration...
This is what I currently have in mine. It's a new one, so not as much as other people..
1- book blessing 2- Goals of Wicca + inspiring quote 3- principles of belief + the elements and symbols for - and all the connections. e.g. Fire - symbol - drawing - masculine - the sword - south. Later on I have a much more detailed explanation of the elements. 4- Lord + Lady, and more inspiring quotes. ^^ 5- Maiden, Mother Crone and correspondences. I'm hoping to type this all up in the academy soon.. 6- Moons, and Good + Evil. There's no ultimate good, and no ultimate evil. 7- Sabbat explanation, and picture. 8- Yule. Notes on + my own ritual. ^^ 9- Imbolc. 10- Ostara 11- Beltane 12- Litha 13- Lammas 14- Mabon 15- Samhain 16- An explanation of magic, inspirational quotes + drawings. 17- Forms of Power + Law of the Power 18- Diary type entry. Personally, I think it's good to keep your BoS down to earth. It's nothing earth shattering - just saying things like Imbolc was coming up. 19- Crystals 20- Crystals 21- Crystals 22-Crystals ^^; 23- My frequently used chants 24- Notes on Lucid Dreaming 25- Detailed explanation of the elements 26- More on Elements 27- Cakes and Wine 28- My favourite herb + tree properties 29- More on that 30- General spells 31- General spells 32- Notes on Fae Folk 33- Notes on guarding against fae folk.. ^^; 34- Notes on scrying
Yes, you can breathe again. That's all that's in there, currently. I hope to expand it a lot, lot more...
Just remember, your book of shadows is your own. There is no right or wrong as to how you keep or organise it.
I hope I helped..
