Ideas for your Book of Shadows

solitary-autumn-witch:

Most witches / magic workers have a Book of Shadows aka Grimoire, Book of Secrets, Book of Spells, etc.. Many beginner witches have no idea what they should put into their special book…

Your Book of Shadows is personal to you. You make this book your own. You don’t need to put every single bit of witchy knowledge in it. You should put things that are important to you such as what you believe and are practicing.

• Crystals: names & uses
• Herbs/Plants/Trees: their medicinal and metaphysical properties 
• Spells: ingredients, prayers
• Rituals
• Zodiac: characteristics and dates
• Planets/celestial bodies: relation to magic and mythology 
• Gods/Goddesses/Deities: powers, how to worship them
• Animals: spiritual powers and which animals you are connected to
• Books: writings for reference 
• Colors: definitions of each color and what they can be used for
• Altars: how/when to set them up and what you’ll need
• Recipes
• Sigils & Symbols
• Things that are specific to you and give you power
