Everything Under the Moon

i finally got a new bos!!! my old one is just about full.
i got it from a friend of mine after putting off buying one for a few weeks. it was sweet.
nothing better than a blank notebook with pages to fill up.
: )

Cool! Wish I had a BOS, lol. I've got one on the computer but I'm afraid to make an actually Book because knowing me I'd be too scared to actually write in it in case I ruined it, lol.

But when I do get one I wanna get it from here: http://tallpoppystudio.com.au/Personali ... ails.shtml

The guy makes these REALLY nice leather bound books by hand and he can age the pages and do all sorts of stuff! Note to self: Learn calligraphy

I just started my first. I can't wait to fill that one up though; it sounds like fun!

now i just gotta decide what all to put in this one. and hopefully it'll be a bit more organized than the last one

My current one is my third Book of Shadows, I use a line of Tribal notebooks that have 4 subjects (I'm not sure how many pages, though). But no matter how much I try to organise it, the fact that it's a mix of rituals, dream interpretations and personal thoughts means I can never keep them organised.

I've created a small system with my current one (it's fairly new), which helps a bit. Every new topic I'm writing about (e.g. Dream I had yesterday & Interpretation, Beltaine Ritual) I write a new number on the upper left corner of the page. Then at the end of the notebook I keep a table of contents with all the topics I've written. It's helpful.

Every time I bought a nice intricate notebook, I wanted to do everything so perfect and formal that it ended up being completely impersonal. So I try to keep it simple and casual.

hmmmn very organize lexi. would you believe i tried that too but soon give up? too lazy perhaps to put things in proper order as thought keep on popping sometimes and i don't want to loose it so i usually grab it and write it down. now it 's all mixed up! maybe i have to buy a new notebook and start rewriting things...he he
