How I did it: I had chose book after book, binder after binder.  I thought that if I used a binder that I could always add to it.  And I thought that if I used a book it would be more authentic in appearance.

A binder allowed me to take out that which I did not need while a journal style book would  force me to track my journey.

I realized that I would learn from my mistakes.  I decided to go with a journal.  I found a little book plain and simple with a nice cover.  I cast spells of protection, insight, clarity and asked for knowledge with understanding.

And I was surprised.  My hand shakes with the energy when ever I put pen to paper.

Lessons & tips: It is a personal journey creating your BOS.  But the book itself is just a shell. 


Wether it is a marble composition notebook from Walgreens, a stylish spiral from Barnes and Nobles or a leather tooled wood embossed aged thing you bought custom made from some guy who claimed to be the reincarnation of Merlin's great aunt the only thing that matters is the energy you breath into it.

Resources: meditation, intuition, lots of mistakes ;)
