Yeah I said it! I wish I had a Wiccan bible. I know we have the Rede (our moral guide). Maybe as a writer I should create my own and I know that's what the book of shadows is. But not really. The bible tells the stories of the Christian faith. It's not just a rule book for "How to live a devout and pious life" but also an inspirational read. A self improvement and affirmation guide for the soul. I love reading certain scriptures to be uplifted, moved, stimulate my senses, excite my fancy and stir my soul. Truly poetic. A book of shadows is a culmination of workings, be it rituals, meditations and spells. A personal "how to" manual. I enjoy mine and am always working on them. But what I desire is a book of quotes (ish) that elicit the same feelings from me that the Scripture does. To say things like "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" or This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it Psalms 118:24 are some of my favorite quotes because there is so much hope and promise and love melded into the words.
Inspirational Quotes for Wiccans (I bet B & N has one.. giggle)
If not... looks like a project for me... wonder how something like that gets published???
