Creating a GrimoireI have decided to begin working on a grimoire for myself, other then my online Book of Shadows which I have here, this will be my frist over truly orginized written record and account of magick and my practices. Though it is something I have been contemplating doing for a while. I have finally decided to go forth with it, in part becasue of the fact I have just come acorss a new technique I have been working with that I wanted a record of, and decided I did not want to just jot it down in my journal where it might get "lost" more or less, not that the journal itself would be lost, but it would be burried among the pages of varrious other random thoughts and experinces and such I have recorded there.
Just what is a grimoire some of you might ask, and what sets it apart from a Book of Shadows? Well a Book of Shadows is really something of a diary, it contains both personal thoughts, feelings, experinces in addition to recordings of spells and rituals. It is something of a mishmash of everything relating to ones beleifs and practices.
On the other hand a grimoire is more formolized and techinichal then a Book of Shadows, and does not contain personal informaiton, but is restritcied to only the recording the details of how to preform a spell, ritual, or other such rite. It is intended to be informative and instructional. 5:12 PM - 4/17/2007 - post comment
