What do you include in your Book of Shadows
I'm in the process of making my "official" BoS. I already have a couple journals that I've been using. I already know the basics; spells, herbs, crystals, sabats, esbats, etc. I'm just looking for new ideas that I might have missed or haven't come across.
"And those who were seen dancing
were thought to be insane
by those who could not hear the music."
Someone told me to stop living in a fantasy land.
I nearly fell off my unicorn.
