Here's an idea I have to spark conversation (maybe some creative ideas too!) about our books!
Once you answer a question posted, please follow with a question of your own 
I'll begin with:
Did you (or will you) make or buy your Book?_________________ Please PM me anytime, I'm happy to help!!

Sometimes I draw my own but other times I'll stick in pictures I have found that I like.
Do you have different sections or are all your topics mixed in together?

At the moment 2. One that I use as more of a diary about experiences, etc... and the other I keep all the information I have learned/gathered.
Is your BOS stored on the computer or just in a book?

I have everything written in books. I often begin initial research online, store it in favourites and then work through it when I have time, the info sometimes ends up in one of my books ut only when I understand it thoroughly. My books are mostly about personal experience though.
Are your BOS eclectic or based on one tradtion?

Eclectic. Some of it I write myself, others it's from different trads I've found in which I love the wording, when for some reason I can't write something myself.
How detailed are your BOS entries? as in, do they label the date, time, weather, etc?

I have mine labeled by date, moon, zodiac sign, time of day/night, day of the week and my cycle.
What is on the cover of your BOS?
Brightest Blessings!

I have a Celtic Knot I drew a while ago that I am trying to put on my BoS, but for now it's plain chipboard 
Do you have a pocket type notebook that you carry with you to jot ideas down in when creativity strikes?

I have several - one beside my computer, one on my bedside table, and one in my purse, got all bases covered!
What section of your BOS have you put the most work into?

I do have special pens, pencils etc that I only use for my BOS...but I don't ink pens cos I just smudge em!!
Do you do a dedication/ritual everytime you use your BOS?

They're all handwritten with skteches and sigils. I do have some printed images in there too but no printed text.
Who (if anyone) is your BOS dedicated to?
