Guide To Create Your Own Wiccan Book Of Shadows

Blessing

The first thing to do with your new BOS before using it, as with any ritual object, is to purify and bless it. Purification removes any energy that the book may have picked up when it was created, or while it sat on a shelf. Blessing it puts positive, sacred energy -- your energy -- into the book.
Since you are just starting out as a Wiccan, here's a simple purification/blessing you can do.
Purifying and Blessing Your BOS
Start by coming to a calm, still place within. Meditating for a few minutes is a perfect way to do this; you could chant OM for a while if you like - this very effectively brings the mind to stillness.
If you have a nice cloth, spread it out in front of you. Set a candle nearby and light it, to represent the Divine being present with you during this ritual.
Take some salt - preferably chunky sea salt - and sprinkle it on your Book of Shadows, the front and the back. Let the excess fall to the cloth. With your heart full of this intention, say your own blessing,Or say the blessing in the picture
