1.    Laws of your coven or your tradition: If you are a part of a coven, you can write down your coven’s rules and guidelines. If you are a solitary practitioner, you can write down your personal code, the Wiccan Rede and any other laws that you follow in your specific path.

2.    A Dedication: You can write out what god/goddess you have dedicated yourself to and why. (Feel free to include pictures and drawing)  If you have been dedicated into a coven, you can keep a copy of your initiation ceremony.

3.    Gods and Goddesses: Depending you’re your path or tradition, you may follow several deities or just one. Either way you can keep myths, legends, and or pictures of your deity or deities in your BOS.
