A complete book of Shadows is something that should do the the following:
* Act as an effective resource & reference tool for any magickal theories, correspondences, and methods that you use regularly.
* Include ideas that you want to mull over and tinker with.
* Inspire you to walk the Path of Beauty with strength, love, courage, peace, & truthfulness.
* Include step-by-step instructions for all preferred techniques, even when you master these, you'll probably want to share the information with novices later.
* Include progressive methodology that meets the needs of changing times.
* Motivate personal growth (i.e. include some really challenging things that will take time to master.
* Create a portrait of modern magick as it applies directly to your life and vision.
There are some simple steps you can take to ensure that the outcome is as positive and fulfilling as possible.
1. Tackle only one portion of information at a time. Read it over, meditate on it.
2. Don't rush step one. Too much, too quickly overloads and you have a lifetime,
3, Personalize, practice & be patient. Personalization keeps everything meaningful & vibrant. Practiceleads to magickal adeptness & patience makes the entire learning process a little easier to bear.
4. You must create the perfect attitude, ambiance (candles, incense, & music), & timing. You must have sacred space. Sacred space vibrates at a higher level & will help saturate your Book of Shadows with positive energy.
