How do Ты start a Book of Shadows?

What do Ты write in it? How do Ты start it off? And how do Ты know what to put in your BoS and what to put in your Grimoire?
I've got a notebook that I'm planing to use as a Book of Shadows, but I need to know how to use it :S
Thanks for the help!

Ты don't need to use a quill. Some people write their book of shadows on the computer.
First Ты can add some basic information to your Bos.
And here is a small tip to begin.
Grab 7 sheets of paper;
on the first Ты write Deity concepts
on the секунда Ты 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 Ты 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 Ты what Ты do :)

It doesn't matter with what Ты write it. Pencil's work fine :).

Thanks! But another question; I thought the spells/information was put in the Grimoire? Sorry, I'm a beginner, and it's kinda confusing :P

They are almost the same but the Book of Shadows is еще about your personal spells and information and the Grimoire is really only for spells. Ты can see your Book of Shadows like a Journal and a grimoir еще like a guideline

A Book Of Shadows is your personal book on your experiences of your Craft. In it Ты write how you're feeling before and after doing a spell или a ritual. How you're going to do your alter and whether any changes occur to it (excluding the natural changes as Ты go through each monthly holiday) and also reminders as to what Ты 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 или my favourties i have found and copied. My experiences with Tarot или gems или 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 или like etc.

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