Tradition 1: The Goddess

I don't know how much of this I have discussed, but your Book of Shadows is a reflection of your Shadow Self. It is a Sacred Artifact. The way we are laying it out is much like you would design a Temple.

Still working at the front of your BoS. After you have finished with your section on The Pillars (The Elements) we are metaphorically stepping into a Temple, and at the center of the Temple you will always find the Gods.

Every path has their Pantheon, their Mount Olympus if you will. If you do not have a path or lineage within the Craft these next two pages can stay generic "Great Mother" and "Great Father" images. And if you are at all artistic please draw them how you see them, if not the Gods saw fit to provide us with the Internet, find something you like.

Now I do not personally call upon the Gods often. So I will leave giving your iconic duo a face up to you. You need to fill in some information, please do not take this post at face value, research your Goddess:

Great Mother
Name: If you are working with a specific Goddess.
Myth: (Such as The Birth of Venus, Aphrodite and the Clam.. Not in detail, just a source.)
Incense: (Recipe if Applicable) Ylang-Ylang
Color: Silver
Tree: Elder
Flower: Lotus and Tulip
Preferred Offering: Egg
Invocation:

"Oh Goddess Mother
You are the mystery of Night
Your radiant shine is the Day
Infinite realms cascade within You..

I open myself to your Glory!"
