Typed Book of Shadows?
I just want to get everyone's opinion on typing out your book of shadows then printing it off. That is what I'm trying this time around. Some people say it's not as good cause you aren't putting your energies into it like when writing. i think otherwise, I'm still putting my energy into it, just with my fingers hitting keys rather than using a pen. I like this method cause I don't have a neat hand and I want my BoS to look nice. So spill, tell me your opinions.

I do nt see the problem with typing out your book of shadows. I know of several people who have their BOS's completely typed out ont eh PC and backed up on a CD. Including myself, and my classes BOS is completely on the PC.

To age paper: soak the paper in coffee or tea (coffee is darker). If you want it to be crisp, bake it in the oven. Keep an eye on it though, if you cook it too long the paper will break. Good luck!

I have also a typed BOS, but I have also some hand print BOS, I know that we can put our energies into it, besides its really nice to look at it when you read and see some of your creativity in making your BOS. Walk with light & love...

I don't know anything, but I would think that you would still be putting the same energy into it. I'm mean you're still thinking the same, you're using ink and you're still using your hands.

I lke the idea. These days people are so rushed with everything. I think it would be a great was to have your BoS typed. Afterall the energy is in the doing and the thought, the writing is the recording of what you've done. Besides if you could post some graphics it would be great.

I think we should use technology to our advantage by all means and i have no problem with making a copy of a BOS but it does make the book less personal when you lose the conact you get on the page with the hand written word and i personally don't like the idea of hackers taking any of my work as has happened on you tube to some folk i know.

I have two BOS's right now and one is typed. There is so much information in them that even though I would love to have everything handwritten, it's not realistic with my schedule. The same energy goes into your work, simply through a different source. I liked the idea above about pasting pictures into it, maybe some you've drawn yourself and scanned or some from your favorite books. Have fun with your work and never let someone else's opinions down your enthusiasum or the power of your magical objects, be they typed or not.

As someone who is on his second large volume of his BOS I must say that typing and printing your BOS is just fine. I have done this with both 300 page volumes so far and they work just fine for me. It is your intent that is important not how you copy it down on paper!
Bright Blessings!
