Hmm, another question

A while back, I asked about Grimoires and Book of Shadows. I've started on the two, and here's how things seem to be going:

Grimoire: Keeping info like moon phases and how-to create spells and such.
Book of Shadows: "Today I tried _______. It didn't work to well, *blah blah blah* and, "Here's a something interesting that I learned today."

I've re-read both of them over again, and once again, it still feels like I'm doing something wrong. It could just be my anxiety acting up again, but, I'm not positive. So far it seems like my Grimoire is just how-to things, and my BoS is like a diary/journal.

Sorry about asking another question about Grimoires/BoS, I just need some reassurance. Thank you!

My BOS holds spells I have written, along with observances I have made along the path.

Alright. I was planning on putting some of my own spells on the back of the Grimoire, but, I could also add some that come to mind in BoS.

You can put what you want in them, there is no 'correct' way to do it, do what works for you

Oh, ok ^_^ I'll keep going with the BoS as my journal/idea area, and Grimoire as info. Thanks!

*Sorry about double post.

Actually, I was wondering. Can I ask you some more questions? I have about 2 more, and I'm not sure if I should just make another topic or not.

Yes you can ask, either post them here or mail them to me. I will do my best to answer them

I typically think of grimoires as "instruction manuals"
For instance, the key of solomon. A book of procedures.

When i think bos i think "journal" though many think of them as hard copies of all the info you need. I.e. herb correspondences, moon phases, etc.

I put everything together and call it my Path Book, lol

Mm'k well, I'll just stick with what I've done already. It's going pretty good, anyways ;)

My questions:

1. About the "Witches Alphabet" (Theban alphabet). Is its main use is to keep your writings private?

2. I am pretty much forced to practice magick alone, as my friends say it's all "make-believe" and that my family really doesn't care, and are not interested. (However, they have nothing against me and magick.) Would spells and rituals be stronger if I was in a group?

3. Are any spells that make somebody do something against their will bad? I'm pretty sure most of them are, just checking.

Thanks!
