11. Harness the power of color magic by creating a guide detailing the significance and uses of each hue in your practice.
12. Conjure up a section for kitchen witchery – complete with recipes for potions, teas, and magical meals.
13. Dedicate a few pages to the elements – Earth, Air, Fire, and Water – and their corresponding tools, symbols, and spirits.
14. Create a calendar of sabbats, esbats, and other important dates in the witch's year.
15. Craft a comprehensive guide to magical symbols and sigils – from ancient runes to modern emojis.
