I have had a problem whit starting out a dayly study rythem, faimling in keeping it up, starting over, writing things up in a new note book, failing, and so on and so on. Now I have a bunch of half written note books whit magickal notes and I feel in a way theese testaments to my failiures is holding me back from getting going whit a dayly study rythem. I have been considering burning the old note books as a clensing ritual, but I am hesitent as there is so mutch information aboute rituals and exersises I have done there. Do any of you have any advice aboute what I should do?

My advice is to buy two good blank books and compile the good stuff into them, and then throw all the other crap away. It's a lot of work, but losing everything usually isn't good. I do know the feeling. I'm just about through a blank book and it's one of very few that I have finished. I can't wait to buy another one, there isn't anything like starting a new magical diary. My advice is not to save too much, and keep what your intuition says is necessary.

Piles of notebooks can get thumbed through, and even if you're practicing Mercy Pillar magic you can get your ass in trouble. If someone read my notebooks, I'd get a reputation, and unfortunately, even someone not on the Pillar of Severity usually does too. That's my recommendation. Take your time transferring them, and get yourself a place to put all the notebooks that are lying around for when people come over. Secrecy is essential to both Pillars of magic.

Thank you for the advice. Yesh here the other day a frind of mine picked up one of my books and I could see he wanted to open it, but he must have seen the look on my face and put the book back down. It is wery private information in my magickal note books and I dont want anyone reading them but me and those I give spesific premission.

Agreed. Magical diaries are very important too. Don't worry about making them perfect. I've had all these ideas about learning calligraphy to do them, but honestly, what's in them is only important to me. I destroy them eventually, because I have no further need for them. Just went through a period of doing that, all my archives and everything are gone. I'm doing another one right now, but it doesn't really matter all that much.

I guess you are right aboute that that they dont need to be perfect, I have a tendency to be a perfectionalist though so I often feel I should have done better than I did.
