Paganism has many different paths, religious and not, some also involve witchcraft and some don’t. This post is part of a series of magical book ideas for pagans/witches with ‘defined’ paths. My last post on this topic was based on the Norse belief system on Asatru.
This post is going to be based around the hellenism and the Greek gods/goddesses and ideas for your magical book. Some of the ideas are similar to the previous post but switched up and added more ideas. As I said in the Asatru post, these are not the only ideas for your BOS there are many, these are just my initial ones 🙂

Note! Unlike the others, these ones are NOT edible nor should they be ingested! These potions are for anointing or bath magic.
None of these potions are made with the crystals in the water! I ALWAYS put my crystals around a jar or cup of water to charge over night. SOME OF THESE CRYSTALS SHOULD NEVER GO IN WATER!!! So please just place them around your jar of water over night, not in it.
