MM Jackie,
As it's yours, you put in it whatever things speak to you. While it's best
to write our own spells so as to invest a part of ourselves into it, there's
no law that says you have to. Ones by others can be used as is or as
jumping off points to adapt your own. Most people divide their BOS into
sections or even separate books.
Mine, for example, includes amongst other things: festivals (sabbats and
esbats), herbal, spellwork, pantheons, and more. Each of those sections is
subdivided. In 'festivals', each gets its own section and those sections
are further divided into 'rituals', 'recipes', 'activities',
'correspondances', etc. for that particular sabbat/esbat. 'Herbal' is
divided into info on herbs by name alphabetically, modes of use such as
aromatherapy, teas, poultices, etc., conditions or workings alphabetically
with what herbs are best used for that situation, etc. 'Spellwork' contains
info like 'candles', 'poppets', 'bottles', etc. and then spells by type -
some written by others, some adapted by me, some written from scratch by
me. A different section contains a record of workings I did (whether my own
spell or adapted ones) with what was done, the results, etc.
There's no one and only right way to keep a BOS, so work as you see fit.
Much of mine is printed onto coloured paper in pretty binders, and all of it
is on my computer's hard disc. A few pages were handwritten, but I have a
problem that makes handwriting painful now. I use nylon sleeves to hold
things like leaves or feathers that I want in the BOS. Some things stay
only on the computer until actually used or done something with, like
recipes for festivals or other people's spells, or informational material
like articles such as Lady Nightshayde often posts that I can read whenever
I want by having saved it but have no reason to print out. Some people buy
or make wooden covers and use parchment-like pages that they handwrite and
draw on for a lovely old-fashioned type BOS. Some use notebooks, some use
scrapbooks, some use who-knows what. Play around and have fun, use what
feels most 'right' to you.
BB,
Miki

I had a question. I'm starting my BOS. I wanted to know what things go in? I know I've seen it listed but specifically~Do people put in spells only they've written or spells they collect over the years written by others? Both? I'm asking cuz I'm not good with words. Especially with the beautiful things I see others write. I could never write anything as nice. So, basically I was wondering if people put in spells just from themselves, just others (if allowed), or both?

As for the The Wiccan Rede,if you use it. I recommend that you add it's
history., and By noting when it was written, the Author. We always need to give
credit to the creation of other people's work. Many people use the The Wiccan
Rede. But they do not give credit for its Author.

Deily Feng Shui Tip for June 22
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Wed Jun 22, 2011 9:34 am (PDT)
Daily Feng Shui Tip by Ellen Whitehurst for Wednesday, June 22
Ah, the first days of summer are finally here. Which also means that the incandescent fire of illumination has also arrived. Fire is the element associated with summer when yang energies exponentially increase as the heat index rises and the sun stays higher in the sky for a longer amount of time. And just like the ever-moving flames of any fire, summer Chi is full of force and movement that speaks to joy, activity, passion and bliss in your business and personal lives. Forget about Blake's proverbial tiger, you can bring yourself a big boost of recognition and reward if a symbol of the sun is positioned anywhere inside the Fame area of your home or office. Positioning an image or artwork that invokes the essence of the sun in this space will also allow you to be filled with the fires of inspiration and enthusiasm while also guarding you from anxiety, insomnia or even a case of 'burnout.' You can also bring all that beneficial heat Chi inside by literally visualizing that your heart looks like the sun and see it emitting a pink radiating light to others around you. Enhancing your reputation, increasing your recognition factor and bringing a balance and beauty to your own heart, using the symbol of the sun to illuminate your space could possibly make this season one of the best summers of your entire life!
The light of a hundred stars cannot equal the light of the Moon.

Peru Machu Picchu
"Machu Picchu is nearly invisible from below, tucked away on a small hilltop between two Andean peaks, at 7,000 feet above sea level. The fact that it lay hidden to all but a few peasants for hundreds of years adds to its mystery and intrigue. Never discovered by the Spanish or mentioned in their chronicles, Machu Picchu is the most popular, yet least well-known of the Inca monuments - the pre-Colonial cultures of Peru left no written records." Now, thanks to modern technology, you can visit the temples, fields, terraces and baths of this magical locale via cyber travel. The 360 degree panoramas will allow you to walk through the monument, 'arguably the most impressive and spectacular accomplishment of the Inca Empire.' Take a few minutes and 'fly' to Peru for your own private tour of Machu Picchu!

Comic,Con 2011: 12 Tips for Newbies

Comic Con 2011: 12 Tips for newbies
By Carina Adly MacKenzie
June 22, 2011 2:16 AM ET
Follow @cadlymack on Twitter
Last July, I lost my Comic-Con virginity.
Yes, its true. After years of observing from afar via YouTube and Getty Images, I arrived in San Diego armed with nothing but false confidence in my own ability to survive the weekend full of panels, parties, fans, and famous people.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that a week after I left San Diego, I was still having stress dreams about Comic-Con. Naked-in-Hall-H, accidentally- missed-the- last-ever- "Smallville" -panel, full-on panic dreams.
In an effort to keep my anxiety to a minimum, I've compiled a list of 12 tips for a fun, healthy, and only-sort-of-stressful experience at Comic-Con. This year, I plan to kick back and enjoy the embarrassment of TV riches that the event provides me... without needing a Xanax refill halfway through the weekend.
If you're a newbie, too, these tips may help you out. If you're a longtime Comic-Con vet, do me a favor. If you see a twenty-something girl cowering in a corner, clutching her press pass, and muttering nonsense to herself, give me a slap and tell me to get a grip on myself, okay?
1. Learn the layout. The San Diego Convention Center is, for lack of a better word, ginormous. Luckily, there are helpful maps available online. If you familiarize yourself with the layout of the center before you arrive, and leave yourself a little time to get oriented before your first event, you'll definitely reduce the likelihood that you'll want to bail by 10 AM on the first day. If you're a fan of big TV shows like "The Vampire Diaries" and "Fringe," you're likely to spend a good chunk of your time in Ballroom 20. Blockbuster movies (and "Supernatural") are in Hall H this year. Newer, smaller shows are in smaller rooms, and the autograph booths and vendors are down on the convention center floor.
2. Make a schedule. As the event approaches, the various studios and publishers will announce their schedules. For example, Warner Bros TV has provided us with this helpful schedule. Decide which events you want to attend (and which events you absolutely need to attend) and write them down. If two events overlap, you're going to have to prioritize. The "Harry Potter" folks will not switch times with the "Avengers" folks just because you need them to, so be prepared to miss some things. There's always YouTube. And next year.
3. Be flexible. That schedule you just made is important, but it can't be set in stone. First of all, there will be unexpected adventures. Last year, I missed out on PaceyCon because I was married to my schedule and couldn't spare ten minutes to go outside and observe the reincarnation of my all-time favorite TV character. It's one of the great tragedies of my young life. You're also going to have to scratch things from the schedule in favor of everyone's favorite Comic-Con pastime: standing in line.
4. Stand in line like a boss. Unless you're lucky enough to snag press passes to certain panels, the likelihood of you spending a significant chunk of your trip standing in line is very, very high. People will arrive five hours before the doors open to stand in line for the "Chuck" panel on Saturday morning, so prepare to join them. (Coffee is your BFF.) If you've got a friend attending with you, you guys can take turns standing in line. People mostly won't get mad if someone joins you in the line -- but don't take advantage of that. If you're standing in line for two hours and then you're suddenly joined by 32 of your closest friends from your favorite "Twilight" message board, the person who has been standing in line behind you might just use their plastic light saber for nefarious purposes. And we wouldn't blame them.
The rooms don't clear out between panels, so if you plan to attend several panels in the same room, keep that in mind. Lots of people get in line early for Ballroom 20 on Saturday and just... stay there. All day. The "Chuck" panel starts at 10 a.m., and the panels will continue in that room until the "Alcatraz" panel ends at 6 p.m. You can leave for bathroom breaks and (very) quick food runs, and if you don't want to waste a million hours in line, staying put is your best bet.
5. Get comfortable. San Diego can be hot in July, but you're going to be in an air-conditioned building all day, so keep in mind that you'll likely get chilly. Go with layers and comfortable shoes. Yes, you'll probably be in the same room as a bunch of super-hot celebrities and every instinct will tell you to look your absolute best, but limping around on blistered feet is never cute, either.
6. Hand sanitizer. Remember that 1998 Baz Luhrman single, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)"? Well, ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99, if I could offer you just only one tip for the future, hand sanitizer would be it. There are a lot of people packed into this convention center, with varying degrees of hygiene. So bring hand sanitizer. While you're at it, take some extra Vitamin C and wash your hands like you've got obsessive compulsive disorder. (It's likely that you'll get sick afterward anyway, but at least you'll know it's not your fault.)
7. Pack wisely. You can carry a bag in -- in fact, Warner Bros. will provide you with a bag the size of a large tent so that you can carry all of your swag. Here's what I'm going to carry with me this year.
Phone and charger. The charger is key; you will run your battery down.
Camera. You'll want to take photos in the panels, but the real gold will be on the floor, where you can catch the most enthusiastic fans dressed (or, in some cases, undressed) in elaborate, intricate costumes.
Water bottle. You can re-fill it at water fountains and in the bathroom (seriously, tap water isn't poison) and it'll keep you from paying insane prices to stay hydrated.
Your badge. Just glue the thing to your neck; you'll need it for everything, and you're out of luck if you lose it.
Cash. Hit the ATM before you arrive if you plan to buy swag or art. Many vendors don't take credit cards, and carrying cash (in a very safe place, of course) will help you stay on budget. You don't want to run out of funds before Sunday comes around.
Don't bring weapons. Even fake ones. You'll be asked to check them at the Weapons Check. Yes, there is a Weapons Check.
Trust me on the hand sanitizer.
8. Sleep. I can say this from experience: partying all night at the Maxim Party will feel like a great idea while you're partying at the Maxim Party. It will feel like less of a great idea when you spend the entire next day resisting the urge to vomit on some CW star's shoes. So have fun in moderation and make sure to catch a few Zz's before you have to go stand in line in the morning. Your body will thank you. So will the CW star's shoes.
9. Get out of the convention center. It's easy to get so caught up in the SDCC events that you literally only leave the convention center to sleep, but you'll be doing yourself a great disservice. San Diego is a fantastic city and you're right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. Leave room for a leisurely dinner (there is exactly zero nutritional value available for sale at Comic-Con) or a walk by the water. It's always healthy to catch some fresh air and spend some time with friends that doesn't involve anxiously standing in line for a werewolf's autograph.
10. Prepare for zero bars. If there's one thing nerds love, it's staying connected. We tweet, we tumble, we mupload, we live-blog -- our need to recount our experience as we're experiencing is immeasurable. The problem is, when thousands upon thousands of nerds come together and try to connect at the same time... we tend to crash servers. Unless you're a member of the press and you absolutely must lug your laptop to Comic-Con, don't.
Try not to stress about it, either. You'll be able to upload photos and blog to your heart's content and update your 13 fan sites when you get back to your hotel. While you're at the convention center, there is one guarantee: The WiFi will suck. Your cell phone is likely to give you trouble, too -- we relied on texting all weekend because 99% of our phone calls were dropped. If you're prepared for this in advance, you're less likely to feel like you've lost a limb when you get that dreaded spinny-wheel thing on every website you try to access.
11. Think green. At the risk of sounding preachy, be mindful of your carbon footprint. Huge events like Comic-Con take a serious toll on the environment. Carpool to San Diego (or, better yet, take the train -- it doesn't break the bank and it's a great way to meet people on the way). Throughout the weekend, you'll be offered an average of ten zillion fliers from enthusiastic flier-hander-outers per day. If you're not interested, don't take the flier. If you are interested, make sure to recycle it after you've read it and realized that you're actually not interested after all. The amount of paper I saw strewn about San Diego last year because of carelessness was, frankly, disgusting. Keep in mind that somebody's going to have to clean up after you and don't be a jerk.
12. If you want to dress up like a warrior princess, a vampire, or Lois Lane, the time is now. Seriously; have fun. Let your freak flag fly. Comic-Con is a great opportunity to let your fanatic tendencies take over before you have to return to your cubicle and your judgy co-workers, so don't hold back.
If you're a Comic-Con vet and you think I've missed some essential info, feel free to weigh in below in the comments section! See you in San Diego, Zappers.
