Magdalene's Online Book of Shadows

Last updated: May 27, 1997 (and not likely to be updated again, as I've graduated)

In actuality, my Book of Shadows is a combination journal and spellbook. (Yes, it really is a leather-bound book with a pentacle on the cover.) I write down accounts of rituals I've attended or designed, herbal and stone lore, quotes I like, and thoughts that happen to come into my head.

This online Book of Shadows (some call it a "Disk of Shadows") is a collection of interesting tidbits from around the Internet, as well as a few things I've written myself. I've tried to give credit as it is due, but often documents are unsigned. Do let me know if you know of any credits which are not given here.
