Curate, connect, and discover
Just some things I've done that have helped me out tremendously with my own.
Cross-reference everything and anything before adding it in with pen. I usually aim for between four and six sources at least.
Table of contents! Number your pages and start a table of contents on the first one. Make sure you reserve the first few pages to continue it.
Print out charts to paste in. I have the wheel of the year in mine! It was so much easier than drawing it.
If you have trouble remembering what a specific plant looks like, and if it's available near you, press-dry a leaf or stem and paste it next to its information.
Sources! Write down where you found the information! If you have further questions that your book isn't answering yet, go to the source!
Cleanse your book when it feels heavy. Not physically heavy - you understand what I mean.
Keep crystals on top of it. Depending on what you keep on it, the qualities of the crystals will keep the book feeling fresh and light.
Don't just copy paragraphs and information straight from your sources. Paraphrase things in your own words so that it's easier for you to keep them in your head. Yes, having a book to reference is great, but it's also great to study it so you don't have to use it every time you have a question!
Share. Sharing grimoires with others can be massively beneficial to everyone involved, especially if you're swapping information. Seeing from other perspectives is always a good idea.
Just a few tricks and tips! As always, do your research, be safe, and blessed be.
