What do you include in your Book of Shadows

Post by Autumn Jewel »

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.
