Book of Shadows (rituals, tradition, experience, spiritual, bible)

[Prima]

What's yours like? What do you keep in it? What does it look like? Do you keep it with you all the time? How important do you consider it? What do plan on doing with it when you die?

[Druidus]

As a Druid, my "Book of Shadows" is usually my mind. I do write some stuff down, however, especially the really long ones. I'm no Ovate, so spells are not my forte, besides the usual Druidic spells. Most Druidic spells involve meditation and thought, rather than physical words, movements, and objects. On the other hand, Ovate spells usually require physical components, especially for their divinations (which I've tried my hand at, once or twice).

I have a composition book that I do my roughs of certain things that have worked for me and some of my writings. I transfer these to my EBOS for archiving and printing. I have a thick hard cover book that I will eventually transfer everything down by hand, but for now I am sort of techno bound.

I keep my writings about the Sabbats, certain ritual and tradition information, poetry, the Charges of the God and the Goddess, and other such writings.

As for what will happen to my writings when I pass I would hope that they be passed down to my children. If for some reason they would not want them, then having them published for others' learning and use would be fine with me. After all, I will be gone anyway...may whoever get the most use of it use it.

Mine has handouts from classes I've taken, sketches of plants and symbols, and various vague thoughts. From my shamanic training, I've learned how to take crystals and record information in them. I prefer to write things out, though.

My 'Book of Shadows' is my interpretation of the Bible, and other writings, from other faiths, combined with my own thoughts.

Mine is a 5 subject note book, with sigils drawn on it keep it hidden. I write down all of my spiritual experiences in them, so I can later on study them without having to try to remember and dealing with altered memories. It also helps when I recieve visions that are in pieces. Spirits never have liked giving me information that is entire and complete.
I also write down small bits from various books when Im creating my own magick rituals.

I actually have a few different books. I originally tried to have just one, but I wasted too much time trying to make it perfect.

Mine is a black book with Isis on the front. I keep spells that I want to remember, information about sabbots, and poems in there. Basiclly anything that I do not want to be lost. Most of my spells though I do not write down. Part of the spells I do require that they be burned.

[blackhand]

One note book, one journal. I'll eventually write all of it down in one book, but probably when I'm old and lazy

I just filled my first 5 subject note book. Mainly because I also write poetry and have many drawings in it. Its fun to read it see how things have changed over the last two years.
