How do u start a Book of Shadows?

u don't need to use a quill. Some people write their book of shadows on the computer.
First u can add some basic information to your Bos.
And here is a small tip to begin.
Grab 7 sheets of paper;
on the first u write Deity concepts
on the seconde u write Tools,altars,jewelry
on the third rituals
on the fourth beliefs
on the fifth rules
on the sixth symbols and runes
on the seventh spells

So u can add information on each page and that will form your Book of Shadows. This is just a tip so it's entirely up to u what u do :)

A Book Of Shadows is your personal book on your experiences of your Craft. In it u write how you're feeling before and after doing a spell of a ritual. How you're going to do your alter and whether any changes occur to it (excluding the natural changes as u go through each monthly holiday) and also reminders as to what u use for each main event and why.
I'm completely different from deathRoman13 - my BoS is mine and mine alone, and that's what i put my own spells in of my favourties i have found and copied. My experiences with Tarot of gems of scrying etc.
What you've called the Grimoire (which i call my second) is where i copy all the main rituals for each event in case i forget what to do and need some prompting, all the different meaning for symbols and runes, other people's spells i have tried of like etc.

To be honest no one can actually tell u how to use your book of shadows as it is yours. All we can tell u is how we use ours. It is your choice and responsibilty to find out what is best for u and your craft :)
