I have three -- one is on my computer -- My Disk of Shadows, then I have a spiral journal notebook, which I consider my *working* BOS, then I have a huge 11x14 scrapbook, in which I am creating my *show-off* BOS...

Since I prefer to type stuff up on the computer rather than write it by hand, I do that and collect it in a notebook. So, I guess I have more of a notebook of shadows, but oh well.

Yes I am abenaki - or atleast that is what the family theory is. My mothers family is all from the central part of maine...which is abenaki, micmac, passamoquoddy, penobscot etc. I just say abenaki because most people know of that tribe. Our family (Mom's side) is Penobscot... Small world ! Gentle Light Mollimizz <img src="/images/graemlins/fish.gif" alt="" />

I LOVE the BOS on Charmed <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> But mine is a Brian Froud book with a Sylph on it. I couldn't figure out how to start it, so I started it with a poem from Lord of the Rings <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I started mine with a poem I wrote about the elements

I am a huge fan of poetry. It makes me feel vibrant and flowing with energy when I read it out loud.

Fiona,
I have a journal where the front page is a mandala I drew with colored pencil. I figured a "dry" medium that erased a little bit would work well for me, and it did....hahaha

We had a student for a while who was an artist and painted gorgeous goddess images and things like that in her book.

I have several Books of Shadows - and each has its place in my craftwork. For example, I have one book that is specific to my Egyptian pantheon work - their color correspondences are not the same as traditional Wiccan correspondences, so that is where I've captured such things. I have a very old book that I used in my first coven - and I occasionally reference it for spellworkings that I did back then, but otherwise, it's just more of an archive.
I'm personally not a fan of the Disk of Shadows. My tradition (so to speak) requires a handwritten bound book. As Fiona said, there is magic in the feel of ink on paper. I've used my own hand-made inks, and do have a special, charged pen that I use for writing in my book. The disk of shadows (to me - and please feel free to argue) can easily be lost (like when Fiona's laptop died), and typed words saved can easily be altered - changing forever the way it was originally written by you. *shrug* I guess I like to look back on my earlier work and amaze myself with just how far I've come.
Blessings,
Autumn
