How to make a Book Of Shadows

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

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

Here’s my contribution :heart:

The sigil is hidden in the first image (created with NightCafe) and the image itself is symbolic of what I created.
