How do you start a Book of Shadows?

What do you write in it? How do you start it off? And how do you know what to put in your BoS and what to put in your Grimoire?
I've got a notebook that I'm planing to use as a Book of Shadows, but I need to know how to use it :S
Thanks for the help!

Oh, and do you have to use a quil to write, or is a pencil okay? xD

You don't need to use a quill. Some people write their book of shadows on the computer.
First you can add some basic information to your Bos.
And here is a small tip to begin.
Grab 7 sheets of paper;
on the first you write Deity concepts
on the segundo you write Tools,altars,jewelry
on the third rituals
on the fourth beliefs
on the fifth rules
on the sixth symbols and runes
on the seventh spells

So you can add information on each page and that will form your Book of Shadows. This is just a tip so it's entirely up to you what you do :)

It doesn't matter with what you write it. Pencil's work fine :).

Thanks! But another question; I thought the spells/information was put in the Grimoire? Sorry, I'm a beginner, and it's kinda confusing :P

They are almost the same but the Book of Shadows is mais about your personal spells and information and the Grimoire is really only for spells. You can see your Book of Shadows like a Journal and a grimoir mais like a guideline

A Book Of Shadows is your personal book on your experiences of your Craft. In it you write how you're feeling before and after doing a spell or a ritual. How you're going to do your alter and whether any changes occur to it (excluding the natural changes as you go through each monthly holiday) and also reminders as to what you use for each main event and why.
I'm completely different from deathRoman13 - my BoS is mine and mine alone, and that's what i put my own spells in or my favourties i have found and copied. My experiences with Tarot or gems or scrying etc.
What you've called the Grimoire (which i call my second) is where i copy all the main rituals for each event in case i forget what to do and need some prompting, all the different meaning for symbols and runes, other people's spells i have tried or like etc.

To be honest no one can actually tell you how to use your book of shadows as it is yours. All we can tell you is how we use ours. It is your choice and responsibilty to find out what is best for you and your craft :)
