Things to put in your book of shadows

Of course, only put in your book of shadows/grimoire what you want. If you don't want to put certain subjects in your book then that's fine. It's your book, utilize it how you want. This is just a masterlist of ideas that I've put together. Feel free to add anything else to the list that I may have missed, because there's absolutely no way I included everything.

And for the love of all the gods, if you come across a closed entity or practice, don't try to work with the entity or practice if you're not already part of that group or tradition. You can research it but don't practice it.

🧙‍♂️🌟 Full Snow Moon 🌝 in Leo ♌ 🌟🧙‍♂️ Aquarius ♒ Season made Us question who We really are, and what is the Motivations behind some of our Decisions. To Be able to See your Unique path, You need to Forget what OTHERS are doing. No More Comparing to others,, No more Following the Mass Crowd, and No more Seeking External Validations. And this Mental detachment is Truly Amazing & Powerful, but did You accidentally detach your Heart ♥ as well? Did You detach your Love from the World? Did You Start Judging them once again, or Looking down onto them? Isolating from them maybe? Declaring that You're Different and that they'll never Understand You? That's the "Shadow" of Aquarius ♒. Self-Exile, Self-Rejection, Self-Doubts and Self-Destruction are the usual suspects... And this Leo's ♌ Full Moon 🌝 Energies, are Here to ask You to Take your Power back, to Open Up your Heart ♥, and Start Trusting Yourself again. Spread your Joy, spread your Live, and all of the different Shades & Colors that makes You, so much Different, so "YOU"nique. Show the World who You Truly are Unapologetically, Show them What Drives You Passionately, perhaps a different Way of doing something will manifest for them... It doesn't Matter if they Clap & Cheer, if they Boo, and if they continue Ignoring You, It Absolutely doesn't Matter. What Truly Matters, is that You are Happy, Fulfilled and at Peace with Yourself, and that you're not Hiding anymore, behind Walls of Known, of Ease, Comfort, and sometimes of a Wee bit of Fear of the New & Unknown. Just as the Power that drives Leo's ♌ Lion 🦁 Energies⚡, it is Now great Time for You to Take the Lead, Trusting that You are Exactly where You need to Be, that You have Everything that You Need to Face, or Deal and Succeed to whatever Life experiences may bring to You on your Journey. Step by Step, Trusting in you're Sovereign & Divine Power's, as You continue Moving forward, always Guided by your Heart ♥. You got this, I promise You... 🧙‍♂️🙏🤍🌝♒🌟✨💫 💜 💙 💚 💛 🧡 ❤️ 💖 (at Snow Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVQ3TXuQXL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anima Mundi, orThe Soul of the World. The Anima Mundi is the feminine creative power of God who turns the sphere of the stars and disperses planetary influences to nourish the material world.

The Anima Mundi appears in The History of the Macrocosm and the Microcosm of Robert Fludd, who described her as a “supreme intelligence” of “an angelic nature.”

As man (the microcosm) has a soul, so must the macrocosm have a soul, Fludd said. The engraving of the Anima Mundi shows a virgin joined to God by a chain that descends through the levels of the hierarchy of Existence.
