Making a BoS for a Friend

Is it okay to make a Book of Shadows for one of my friends? I feel she is struggling to learn more about the Craft, so I want to help her by putting the basics in it. I haven't heard of anyone making a BoS for anyone, I have only heard of passing down a BoS.

Thanks!

I wouldn't do it. I would share mine and allow her to take from it what she felt was necessary.

Thank you for the advice! Although I am worried about something I've heard about.

'You may let someone copy what they will, but never are you to let the book out of your hands'

It's pretty risky...

Depends on who you ask. I prefer my book never leaves my house. Your friend could come over for a study session and copy it there, or you could print off some information that may help your friend get started. Let them make the book and you offer some material for it.

Oh thank you! The printing suggestion was a good one! It is best I do that..I dont particularly live in a good home. I prefer to take my Book of Shadows with me to school (another risky thing) because of my parents, they dont particularly like Witches, etc.

I would suggest that you also start a virtual BOS if you have a personal computer. With a virtual BOS you can make infinate copies of it so you know it will always be safe. I would recomend using Microsoft OneNote or ywriter5. Both I have had a lot of success with.

By the way, here is the link to download the full version of ywriter5 for free:
