Mine is 99% digital, using Notion. But I do have this:

The pages are all red-stained, which is a nice touch, I thought.

I also plan on having a Hekate version soon, but with purple-stained pages, I think.

Consecrating a digital book of shadows sounds like an interesting experiment for me to try. 🤔
