Greetings Everyone!!

I am excited to get your first project started as you start on your path of the Wise..... Let's look at our Supplies:

Ok..I guess you have all gotten your notebook and are ready to start.

As you gather your tools in front of you I want you to take a moment and touch each thing as you think about the sacred thing you are making. Take time to bless each thing and empower it with your own energy.

As you make this book, concentrate on making it with all the magick within you and within the universe. This is your legacy and something that will hold your thoughts, your created spells, your information of yur path and all references you wish to put into it.

Today we are going to concentrate on the outside of your BoS. So do not think about the contents just yet...lol.

I will give you some ideas, but the end product should be your idea..even if you use the samb\ples I will show you. If you need help creating something, just let me know and I will be glad to help.In the next post, I will put a few pictures of past grimoire pictures I have made for other people. You can use something simila or end up doing as you will. but whatever the result, this will fit within the frame you have made...minus the glass.

So for now..let's take a look...

Here are a few samples to get you started.

Book of Shadows

Within lies Magick of the Ages

"Blessings to all that see"

Grimoire of

Light & Shadows

Book of

Shadows & Magick

When you do get the picture made that you want on the front of the Grimoire, print off an example copy...make sure it fits exactly in the frame without any white edges showing...take out the glass from the frame to help you judge exactly..then trim it exactly to that size. when it is exactly as you want it, copy it on Glossy Photo Paper and if you want ( I reccommend this) Take it to Staples and have it laminated. It costs about a dollar to do this. and it will stand up to all time without fear of fading or distruction. Have fun and use your imagination.

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing? It is time to start putting things together. If you have your picture selected and cut to the size of your frame... hopefully laminated (this is an optional step). It is time to figure out where you want to place the frame and picture on your Binder.

If you want to cover your binder with vinal or other fabric, this would be the time to do it. If you are doign this step, add your batting and fabric on before the frame and picture...(if you are doing this step, contact me for suggestions if you do not know how to do this.)

When you have decided where you will put the picture, glue this securely onto the binder then add the frame securing it firmly with the glue and allow this to dry completely before doing anything more.

Once the glue is dry, you may start embellishing it. Some have used glitter and dementional paints with great results. I used some brading on the example. Other suggestions are stones, jewelry findings and/or elemental symbols and colors.

Here is a picture of my example for you to get some ideas for your own Book...then I hope you will share what you have created....then we will go to the NEXT step...the INSIDE...MWAaaaaaahahahaaaaaa!!!!

Have FUN!!

Hugs

Here is a link I think you all shoud look at. http://www.theinkwitch.com/G_Raven.html

You can save the pic on this site to your pics. You can then put them on parchment or Card stock for diverders. You can also have them fadded out on your paper, so that you can write spells, rituals and such over them. I have the Raven on the stack of books as my from page of my BOS, It does like very nice on parchment.

Here is another link you can do the same thing with.

Please let me know how you enjoyed these sites.

Greetings to you all!

I am so excited to know that you all are working on your Book of Shadows.

One thing you may want to know is that this book will be one you will put only things in that you HAVE DONE and WILL USE IN RITUAL. I say this because some of you feel overwhelmed as to what you should put into your book.

Now that you have your cover done and your book blessed with

the book Blessing, you need to start thinking about the next things \you will be putting in it.

As you do so...Think about your ritual workings...This will help guide you ast o what order you will be putting things in.

I suggest that the next thing you put in would be the Wiccan Rede.

Then make a cover page for the Charges and put all your Charges in this area. You will find many things on the Book of Shadows board

As far as lots of spells and herb lore, etc...I encourage you to have seperate notebooks to keep each thing in as an expanding book of each subject. You will find it much easier to keep your BoS pure to what you use most often if you dio this at the very beginning of your path...this way you are not having to revamp your BoS for things you have not or may never use.

By having reference binders, it will help you to hone in fastest on your need. If you need a spell for something..you can go to your "Spell Book" and choose one...here you may also write spells and catigorize them by need. Then as you use them..you record when you used them..what you used them for and the rersults you achieved with them.with date used and result gotten. This way , you have a running log and can then put only the most successful ones in your BOS. "Tried & True" is what goes there!

So start this and we will talk more soon about the inside of your Book of Shadows.

Let me know if you have questions..and know that we will be starting lots of new things very soon.

Brightest Blessings Always
