Merry Meet, To start off the General Board....Just thought i'd share with all of you what happened last night!  I was watering my plants...and than all of a sudden, i dont know how - my hand slipped and all the water fell on my Book of Shadows! Now its all wet...some of the pictures and words are all smudged! I dried it by the air vent last night, some of the pages are sorta curled now! Most of the words can still be read....just a little smudged! Well that's it! Blessings, Wicca Chick |

Well if you think thats something you should listen to my story on how my BOS got wet! I had just made a new book of shadows and transfered all my material into it. There was a fantastic storm brewing so I though I would go outside to perform my book blessing as there was so much energy out there. I performed the blessing and walked back inside and put my bos on the table. Then the rain came! It poured like I have never seen it before. I went to the window to look, then I heard a strange noise behind me. I turned to see to ceiling crack and a huge waterfall of water fall into our house, and straight on top of my bos. I bolted from the room thinking it was going to collapse and turned off the power main as the house was flooding. I ran back and grabbed my bos and saw the crack in the ceiling was directly above my book, my book got wetter than anything else! I still have all the material that got wet, though it is very smudged and in places illegible. I figure the water element decided it didnt get to bless the book how it wanted to when I did so it took matters into its own hands  Don't worry I know how sad it is at first Wicca Chick! Blessed Be Mesonnia |

Oh wow Mesonnia! What luck! Of all the places that roof cracked, it had to be right on top of your BOS (and it all the material was newly transfered too! ow, thats gotta burn!!) And i thought i was unlucky!
But you're lucky you weren't hurt (as the roof could've collapsed but it didnt), which is the important thing! Thank the goddess!
Edited to say: (Oh and thanks so much for joining! Blessings to you!)

Lol haha i guess it does!  Well maybe its not so much the element of water, it was more of me being kinda careless and having slippery hands!  I guess i'm learning things the hard way again - gotta be more careful...! dont want things like that happening again!! |

Oh great - lucky me again!!!! What have i EVER done to insult the element of water?
AGAIN - i managed to soak my BOS!!! How do i manage to that so often?
I was watering my plants again...i left the watering cup (with water in it) on the windowsill for the next morning and when i was closing the blinds, the cup fell, right onto all my book of shadows! (I have more than one...for differnet purposes and space) But one book keeeps getting more soaked than the others....wonder why. (although im very glad my favorite one wasnt soaked like crazy!)
What luck! From now on, im keeping them in the drawers lol! Not leaving them next to my altar anymore!

whoa that's an amazing and kinda funny story. well i guess that storm must have really had alot of energy, ne? my alter is in the center of the room and i keep my bos there, no windows no plants, i'm over cautious  i do worry about someone finding my it though. i would have died if my mother were sitting there reading mine. lluckily it looks exactly like another 5-subject note book i use for creative writing, so if anyone ever questions i can pull a little switch ^-^ i actually don't let my mom into my room much, or my younger brother. i'm really territorial -_-; and i already have to wait to do my rituals until the middle of the night so they don't know. i can't wait to move out |

Hehe I'm very territorial too, nobody enters my room without permission!
Somehow, i dont know why, but i'm not that scared of someone finding my BOS. (well thtas kinda why i leave it out in the open) It would be strange if someone had read it, but u know, they all sorta know, so it wouldnt be so bad.
I dont really wait till the middle of the night to do my rituals, i do them when my family is out during the day.
Blessings,
Wicca Chick
