I was given this idea by a friend, that when I was at work I should try to write a bit on my breaks. The way my job works out, I tend not to have formalized breaks in my day – I take the kids to the babysitter by 7:30am, then I have a 45 min drive from the town I live in to the town I work in…all the way through rural Saskatchewan. I arrive at work around 8:00-8:15, but usually before 8:30am… and usually work at the computer from 8:30am until 5:00 pm when I make my 45 min drive through rural Saskatchewan to pick up my kids at the babysitter’s home.  While I am at…

As someone who has been solitary almost my entire Pagan Life, I have never really been required to keep a structured Book of Shadows. There was no one who required me to note certain laws or rules or correspondence tables, labouriously copying information by hand from my teachers in my own hand into a book. Instead I felt, due to a feeling of lacking something in not being taught and guided by a group of more experienced Pagans, that I was overwhelmed by the variety of vastly differing information available to me in books.
