I, like so many others, have my own little books of which I store my "sacred texts" in, as though it were my own personal "Ma'iingan's Bible". You can see an image of it above (It's a notebook sized book, black with embellishments I placed on it to make it more mine. I cheated with this one, I bought it as opposed to making it...sue me lol). It contains prayers...some personally written, others borrowed from internet sites, a creation story I loved when I began my path...and I am currently in the processes of transferring the "Pagan Scriptures" into it.
I feel this part brings the spirituality into my practice. Sure I'm a Witch, I participate in various "Witchy" things like herbcrafts, spell work, meditation, and some divination, but I am also spiritual (however not religious in my ways). Creating this book makes me feel closer to my Goddess. After I complete the "Pagan Scriptures" (of which I will post a link at the end of this if anyone wishes their own copy, I did not write it), I will add more prayers, those mostly dedicated to Hecate, my Goddess and Guide.
I think I'd urge those who are spiritual and follow a particular deity(s) create their own little personalized "Bible" and keep it close to them. I don't mean a Book of Shadows...this is a different sort of book (yes, prayers may be added to the BoS, but sometimes we just need a book of spirituality rather than a book of practicality). I urge this to those, especially on a similar path to mine, where they do not adhere to any particular religion, for the simple fact that it brings that spirituality much, much closer to you. Keep the God/esses close.
Blessings to you.
