Taylor's Book of Shadows

If you would prefer not to keep a physical Book of Shadows in your home for privacy reasons, you can collect the spells, rituals, correspondences, etc. that you would like to keep for future use and store them here. Start your own thread named "Name's Book of Shadows" and put your information in there, using as many posts as you need to. It's not private, but at least your parents won't see it. You can also get ideas from other people's Books of Shadows.

1. Opening Quote

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

---Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
