Hi there a book of shadows is for your spells and rituals and any other magickal practises you do.
I myself have a couple of books. One is concerned with astral experience only, another is for spells and rituals, I have a diary which record results of my workings and there sucess and also i have my book which is dedicated to my researh and practise of evocation.
A book of shadows can be any book you wish, a simle notepad or a more elaborate design. When you choose what your going to use dedicate the book to its purpose and look after it. I genrally keep mine on me all the time.
i wanna do such thing with all spells and ingredients I suppose Protection Spells and stuff like these .... and spells u come up with and actually work ...
book of shadows, generally, a book kept by a witch, as her or his guide, containig spells, rituals, magical chants, herbs and its purposes, candle correspondences(and incense).etc.Blessed Be)0(
