Welcome to my Hexenbuch!

Guten Tag! Just kidding. I do know some German, but not enough to only use German.

If you are wondering, Hexenbuch means 'witches book'. So, a book for witches. This is my Book of Shadows. I will be putting everything that goes into my physical Book onto this blog, as a way of backing things up. I will most likely refer to my Book of Shadows as 'my Book', 'the Book', or 'BoS'. Maybe even 'Buch' or 'Hexenbuch', but 'Hexenbuch' is just the 'title' of my Book.

This first post might have a lot of text, so I'm sorry. But then again, who knows if people are going to see this, so who cares? Right?

Physical Book Goals/Updates
I plan to celebrate the Sabbats and Esbats to the best of my ability from Samhain to Samhain, and after, of course. This will be like my year and a day, so I will be adding things into my Book and getting a foundation into my Book of Shadows. 

Usually, I store everything on my laptop, but I figure if I ever want to do outside rituals by the closest river(which I want to do) my laptop won't hold up, since the previous owner had worn the battery down so much that it only stays on for about 20 minutes after it gets unplugged. Lets just say that 76% of the whole battery is not usable. 

So now, I think I'll keep a back up on my computer and this blog(typing up everything after I've already written it in my Book) but I will keep a physical object. What I wanted to use was a report cover that you could extend up to 3 inches, but my local office supply shop only had those in a 10 pack, for like 25 dollars. But I only wanted two. So, I settled on a 3-Ring binder, and I'm actually really glad I did! 

You see, even though the Report cover is expandable and easy to add and remove pages from it, I don't really want to be moving and rearranging my pages too much, just because I don't want the metal fasteners to wear and then break. The 3-Ring is literally made to be opened at least 30 times a day, so I figure, why not start with a 3-Ring, where I can get everything in, and rearrange sections to suit my liking, and then once it's time to update to the report cover, all I have to do is add blank pages to each section so I have room to write more, and then put them in the report cover in the order they were in my 3-Ring.

Well, the next post will be my 'To-Do' post, which will include what I want to get done over the next two months!

Love and Light!
