Once upon a time, there was a clever and mischievous cat named Puss. Puss was not an ordinary cat; he had the ability to talk and had a knack for getting his owner, a poor miller's son, out of trouble. One day, Puss overheard a conversation between the miller and a rich merchant. The merchant was boasting about his newest acquisition - a bag of magical beans that could grow into a beanstalk that would reach the clouds. Puss's ears perked up with excitement, knowing that this could be their ticket to a life of luxury. Puss immediately sprung into action, devising a plan to obtain the magic beans for his owner.

If you re part of an eclectic tradition that doesn t have written rules, or if you re a solitary witch, this is a good place to write down what you think are acceptable rules of magic. Encountering neither satanic rites nor eccentric spinsters, she came to know a clandestine religion of the Goddess that had been forced into hiding over the course of history.
Puss immediately sprung into action, devising a plan to obtain the magic beans for his owner. He hatched a scheme to visit the merchant's house disguised as a beggar cat. With his sad eyes and pitiful meows, Puss successfully convinced the merchant to give him a few of the magical beans out of pity.
How to Make a Book of Shadows

Updated on April 25, 2019The Book of Shadows, or BOS, is used to store information you'll need in your magical tradition, whatever it may be. Many Pagans feel a BOS should be handwritten, but as technology progresses, some use their computer to store information as well. Don't let anyone tell you there's only one way to make your BOS, because you should use what works best for you.
Bear in mind that a BOS is considered a sacred tool, which means it is an item of power that should be consecrated with all of your other magical tools. In many traditions, it is believed you should copy spells and rituals into your BOS by hand; this not only transfers energy to the writer, but it also helps you to memorize the contents. Make sure you write legibly enough that you’ll be able to read your notes during a ritual.
Returning home, Puss presented the magic beans to his owner and explained their incredible potential. The miller's son was skeptical but trusted Puss's judgment. He planted the beans in his garden, and much to their surprise, a gigantic beanstalk grew overnight, reaching high into the sky. Curiosity getting the better of them, Puss and his owner decided to climb the beanstalk and see what lay at the top. As they ascended, they marveled at the sight of the clouds enveloping them. Eventually, they reached a magnificent castle floating in the sky. Inside the castle, they discovered an enormous ogre who possessed a vast treasure. Puss cleverly distracted the ogre while his owner swiftly filled a bag with as much gold and jewels as he could fit. Suddenly, Puss let out a loud screech, startling the ogre and giving his owner the opportunity to escape back down the beanstalk. With their stolen treasure in hand, Puss and his owner returned home, forever grateful for the magic beans that changed their lives. The miller's son was able to build a grand mansion and provide a comfortable life for himself and his beloved cat, Puss. The tale of Puss in Boots and the magic beans teaches us that with wit, bravery, and a little bit of magic, even the most humble can achieve great things. It reminds us to embrace opportunities and take risks, for you never know what adventures lie ahead..
