You seem to be in similar waters as myself. I'm sure we'll get along just fine! Welcome and glad you can choose to join us here.
For your book of shadows I wouldn't include "small" stuff like an individual spell. Putting things like this to me is cumbersome and sace consuming. Try to apply entire concepts of your views for each catagory of magick. If can put things into paradigms you'll always be able to use them to create the same spells, rituals or magickal conepts. A kind of hierarchal layering system might be useful as well. It could help define your over all philosophy then break it down into sub-catagories. Also I'd use a binder or something you can keep adding pages too because otherwise you'll just end up with volumes of books.
Thank you all for the warm welcome, I've actually started my BOS as a digital one. Even though the idea of my BOS being split into volumes is appealing (I have a taste for the over top but know my limits) I would kinda be hard to lug it around. Although if I orginize it well enough it could work out, but yeah .... over the top. Thank you so much for the advice.
