My Magickal Library

 Good Evening,

Perhaps you've noticed I've changed the look of the 'blog post', as I do believe its called.  I do need to get my computer lingo up to speed!  I've received some really nice, very complimentary emails and correspondence that are sent directly and so can't be posted as comments and this change in appearance is in response to just such an email.  

The reader suggested that the black background with white letters was difficult to read.  I tend to look at the aesthetic and hadn't considered the ease or difficulty of the reading of the post. I also create the post on a template with black letters on white, so I am viewing it a bit differently from you.

I chose black letters to make it easier to read and instead of a white background, so typical and I'm not your typical witch!,  I placed it against a soft gray background. Please let me know if you like it or dislike it.  I really do write and tend this website for you, the reader.  Your input is seriously respected and will be considered.  Now, onto tonight's discussion.


I briefly mentioned my magickal library in last night's discussion and I have been asked to elaborate on what I have on my personal bookshelf.  Really? Hmmm. Actually, I get this, I really do. I've often found the most interesting thing you can first tell about a person is the reading material they have on their shelves.  What do other people like to read, and is it like what I like?  For me specifically, do they have something on their shelves I haven't read before and now I must get a copy of that book so I can?!  I don't know how interesting my choice of reading material will be to you, but since you asked so nicely here it is. These are some of the books I have in my personal bookshelf at home:

These are just some of the books I have at my fingertips when I need to research or just refresh my memory on a point. Many of these authors I consider to be magickal masters and they have influenced me greatly and taught me a lot. It is possible that many of these titles are out of print today, but with the modern magick of the computer age I believe copies or reprints, if not originals can be found for resale via the Internet.


Peace and Happiness
