Merry meet everyone, So the last time I spoke about my book of shadows was months ago. I can't even remember what I said or the plans I had in place for my book of shadows as its changed so much in the many months since I have last posted. This book of shadows is just a little bit bigger than A4 and its a beautiful leather bound book. I added the ribbon myself as I wanted to add page markers and these two colours stood out to me the most. Green ribbon for the nature side of my craft and the red ribbon for self-love and passion that I have put into this book of shadows. I normally put chapters in my books of shadows but I always find that I either run out of space for a topic or am left with too much. This time for this book of shadows I haven't done that. I have just written in it when needed. Its more free flowing and for me I like working in this way because I will use the whole book and also my studies are free flowing and I do jump between a couple different aspects of magick and for me personally I felt trapped in my own book of shadows because I put them in chapters. I did go through weeks of not touching my book of shadows because work took over and for me I felt so tense because of work that I couldn't even think about working inside my book of shadows. The last couple of weeks has been different though. I have been working on my book of shadows every chance I get. I am even using old magazine pictures that I have collected to make the pages more for me and beautiful and not just full of text. I have even left a double page at the front of the book if I want to add a contents after finishing this book. I will not add one while doing it as it may change and I want this to be as free flowing as my studies. I still have a chapter for the sabbats because I learn more every year and each book of shadows I have owned has had this at the front. Which is full! After that it jumps between topics from magick aspects with candles, the moon, basic workings. The last two pages I have done is about the horned god and the triple goddesses. I wrote these in because I do love the story that goes along with these beings even if I personally don't follow it. I am planning on doing a couple pages about goddresses I have worked with in the past and the one I work with now which is Gaia or mother earth. I also plan on doing a page or two about the green man because I just love those sides of the path. I work a lot with the green man and mother earth which for me personally shows the male and female aspects of paganism and wicca even though I don't follow all wicca aspects. My book of shadows is very much a living being going through different aspects of magick. Thats how I see it anyway. Its ever growing with knowledge like myself and for that I love the free flowing vibe. I do find that what I am working with in my book of shadows may have a aspect of what I am working on my blog as all my magick aspects do run along each other. So do be surprised that I have some posts coming up about Gaia and the green man. I hope you enjoyed my update about my book of shadows and that I have inspired you to work more free flowing because for me I always thought I had to have everything together and it made me not want to work in my book of shadows and I wouldn't want anyone to feel like that. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Comments are closed.
