The Evolution of a Book of Shadows
The Evolution of a Book of Shadows
There was a computer in my kindergarten class, but that was still a bit of a novelty at the time. Typing class started when I was in the 2nd grade (handwriting rather than printing started in 3rd grade). By the 4th grade, major projects, reports and essays had to be typed and printed, and spell-check was used to correct grammar and spelling. In 6th grade we switched to math done nearly entirely on a calculator. By 8th grade nearly everything was to be typed on the computer. By 12th grade pretty well everything HAD to be typed and printed and our bibliographies at the end of projects often listed… Continue reading

OBOD
Well, I joined OBOD the other day. That would be the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. http://www.druidry.org/
Tad (*waves*) and some friends are taking their new, and interesting, audio course for Bardic grade. We start on Sunday, but I already listened to the first bit we had mailed us lol. I just wanted to make sure I got my money’s worth. I look forward to this as a nice project, especially for winter.
I like the audio idea a lot. Druidry was originally taught as an oral tradition. I’d like to play this on a CD player in one of my groves. There’s a couple of nice little groves, and a few potential ones as well. I also have many other plans *rubs hands* but that is for another blog. The OBOD have a cool grove project (see their website) I may just have to register one of mine.
I have other more witch-y projects planed as well hehe
