Book of Shadows

so, whenever i thought of starting a book of shadows i always pictured that it'd have to be perfect. and i knew that if i was trying to keep it perfect that i would obsess over it and it would get to the point where i would spend all my time trying to make it look "right". so i've decided not to start out with the big tome that i'd want to pass down through the generations. i'm going to start small. they sell these moleskin booklet thingys at borders that i've liked for a while, i'm going to buy a pack of those and just begin with them. then, in the next few years, after i've saved money and know exactly what i want, i'll get the perfect BoS and transfer everything. that way i can start having everything in one place and not worry about how it looks. of course, knowing me, i'll probably still obsess a little anyway.

a Book of Shadows is, basically, a journal for a witch to keep her/his experiences. what rituals she has performed/cast, how she felt during them, the outcomes, messages received, etc. also used for recipes, notes on which goddess'/gods she's felt more connected to, that sort of thing.
