Book
of Shadows
I
was born of fire
Gave
way to water
Rose
to become air
To
fall upon the earth
For
I am thrice
born
And
tomorrow I shall die
But
for tonight
I
shall live
Forever!
- Wiccan Poem
This
is a large collection of articles related to Neo-Paganism which I
have collected over the years. Many can be found at other websites, or
archived at a number of FTP sites. Many of the articles in this
collection is from posts to Electronic Bulletin Board Systems (EBBS)
from the late eighties to the mid nineties, essentially predating the
modern Internet. The Wiccan Historian wishes to acknowledge the hard
work of each of the authors to preserve the Craft. For ease of
access, I ave converted each article to HTML format. Although
I have done my best to reformat the text, there
may be a number of technical difficulties with this collection
including runtogetherwords in many places. If you notice any errors
such as this, please contact me, so I can correct
the problem.
Practically
all of the files below are copyrighted but redistributable for
non-commercial purposes. Consult each file for any particulars.
I
welcome new submissions for the Internet Book of Shadows from the
Neopagan community. You can write me at wiccanhistorian@worldnet.att.net
if you have new material you want to contribute to this page. Mention
'BOS Submission' in the subject line (so I don't get it confused with
other correspondence).
NOTE:
As most of these postings were archived many years ago, I have no
way to contact the authors of any of these documents. Therefore I
can't arrange copyright clearances for any of these pieces or give
you the email addresses of the authors. Some of them may have a web
presence and you may be able to find them by searching for them
through search engines, but I can't directly assist you in this
process. If you know of any of the authors, please contact me as to
where I can write or E-mail them. Thank you.
Blessed
Be,
Lady
