Written by Your Book of Shadows is a deeply personal grimoire, but having a clear structure helps you find what you need when you need it. Here are some essential categories to consider:
Core Sections
Dedications & Beliefs
Start with your personal dedication, spiritual philosophy, and the ethical guidelines you follow in your practice. This grounds your entire book in intention.
Sabbats & Esbats*
Document the Wheel of the Year sabbats and moon phases, including rituals, correspondences, recipes, and personal observations for each celebration.
Spellwork
Your collection of spells organized by purpose (protection, love, prosperity, healing, banishing). Include ingredients, timing, results, and notes on what worked.
Divination
Tarot spreads, rune meanings, pendulum techniques, scrying methods, and records of your readings and their accuracy.
