Liv Tyler's Spirituality

Here is part of an interview with Liv Tyler:
"I feel quite strongly in my own personal ... I wouldn't say religion because I'm not a religious person but I consider myself a spiritual person. I definitely have some kind of belief in something bigger than myself. I almost feel like it's the universe and the earth and mother nature and that feeling when you go to the beach or stand on top of a mountain and look around and go, 'God this is not about me.' I feel quite clear about that in my own heart. I'm definitely curious and enjoy talking to different people about their beliefs. I grew up around so many different types of people, political, religious, in my lifetime so I'm quite used to overhearing those conversations."

How To Make a Book of Shadows
By Patti Wigington, About.com Guide
The Book of Shadows can be a simple journal, or a more complex binder with
different sections.Image © Patti Wigington 2007
The Book of Shadows (BOS) is used to store information you'll need in your
magical tradition. Many Pagans and Wiccans feel a BOS should be handwritten, but
some use a computer to store information as well. Bear in mind that a BOS is
considered a sacred tool, which means it is an item of power that should be
consecrated with all of your other magical tools. Copy spells and rituals into
your BOS by hand – this will not only transfer energy to the writer, but it also
helps you to memorize the contents. Make sure you write legibly enough that
you'll be able to read your notes during a ritual!
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: Varied
Here's How:
1. To make your Book of Shadows, begin with a blank notebook. A popular method
is to use a three-ring binder so items can be added and rearranged as needed. If
you use this style of BOS, you can use sheet protectors as well, which is great
for preventing candle wax and other ritual drippings from getting on the pages!
Whatever you select, your title page should include your name. Make it fancy or
simple, depending on your preference, but remember that the BOS is a magical
object and should be treated accordingly. Many witches simply write, "The Book
of Shadows of [your name]" on the front page.
2. What format should you use? Some witches are known to create elaborate Books
of Shadows in secret, magical alphabets. Unless you're fluent enough in one of
these systems that you can read it without having to check notes or a chart,
stick with your native language. While a spell looks beautiful written out in
flowing Elvish script or Klingon lettering, the fact is that it's just hard to
read unless you're an Elf or a Klingon.
When it comes to the contents of your personal BOS, there are a few sections
that are nearly universally included.
3. Laws of your coven or tradition: Believe it or not, magic has rules. While
they may vary from group to group, it's a really good idea to keep them at the
front of your BOS as a reminder of what constitutes acceptable behavior and what
doesn't. If you're part of an eclectic tradition that doesn't have written
rules, or if you're a solitary witch, this is a good place to write down what
YOU think are acceptable rules of magic. After all, if you don't set yourself
some guidelines, how will you know when you've crossed over them? This may
include a variation on the Wiccan Rede, or some similar concept.
4. A dedication: If you've been initiated into a coven, you may want to include
a copy of your initiation ceremony here. However, many Wiccans dedicate
themselves to a God or Goddess long before they become part of a coven. This is
a good place to write out who you are dedicating yourself to, and why. This can
be a lengthy essay, or it can be as simple as saying, "I, Willow, dedicate
myself to the Goddess today, June 21, 2007."
5. Gods and Goddesses: Depending on what pantheon or tradition you follow, you
may have a single God and Goddess, or a number of them. Your BOS is a good place
to keep legends and myths and even artwork concerning your Deity. If your
practice is an eclectic blend of different spiritual paths, it's a good idea to
include that here.
6. Correspondence tables: When it comes to spellcasting, correspondence tables
are some of your most important tools. Phases of the moon, herbs, stones and
crystals, colors – all have different meanings and purposes. Keeping a chart of
some sort in your BOS guarantees that this information will be at the ready when
you really need it. If you have access to a good almanac, it's not a bad idea to
record a years' worth of moon phases by date in your BOS.
7. Sabbat rituals: The Wheel of the Year includes eight holidays for most
Wiccans and Pagans, although some traditions do not celebrate all of them. Your
BOS can include rituals for each of the Sabbats. For example, for Samhain you
may wish to create a rite that honors your ancestors and celebrates the end of
the harvest, while for Yule you may want to write down a celebration of the
winter Solstice. A Sabbat celebration can be as simple or complex as you wish.
8. Other rituals: If you'll be celebrating each full moon, you'll want to
include an Esbat rite in your BOS. You can use the same one each month, or
create several different ones tailored to the time of year. You may also wish to
include sections on how to cast a circle and Drawing Down the Moon, a rite that
celebrates the invoking of the Goddess at the time of the full moon. If you'll
be doing any rites for healing, prosperity, protection, or other purposes, be
sure to include them here.
9. Herbs: Ask any experienced Pagan or Wiccan about a specific herb, and
chances are good that they'll expound on not only the magical uses of the plant
but also the healing properties and history of use. Herbalism is often
considered the core of spellcasting, because plants are an ingredient that
people have used for literally thousands of years. Put together a section in
your BOS for herbs and their uses. Remember, many herbs should not be ingested,
so it's important to research thoroughly before you take anything internally.
10. Divination: If you're learning about Tarot, scrying, astrology, or any
other form of divination, keep information in here. When you experiment with new
methods of divination, keep a record of what you do and results you see in your
Book of Shadows.
11. Sacred texts: While it's fun to have a bunch of new shiny books on Wicca
and Paganism to read, sometimes it's just as nice to have information that's a
little more established. If there is a certain text that appeals to you, such as
The Charge of the Goddess, an old prayer in an archaic language, or a particular
chant that moves you, include it in your Book of Shadows.
12. Magical recipes: There's a lot to be said for "kitchen witchery," because
for many people, the kitchen is the center of hearth and home. As you collect
recipes for oils, incense, or herb blends, keep them in your BOS. You may even
want to include a section of food recipes for Sabbat celebrations.
13. Spell workings: Some people prefer to keep their spells in a separate book
called a grimoire, but you can also keep them in your Book of Shadows. It's
easier to keep spells organized if you divide them up by purpose: prosperity,
protection, healing, etc. With each spell you include, make sure you also leave
room to include information on when the working was performed and what the
outcome was.
14. The biggest dilemma with any Book of Shadows is how to keep it organized.
You can use tabbed dividers, create an index at the back, or if you're really
super-organized, a table of contents in the front. As you study and learn more,
you'll have more information to include – this is why the three-ring binder is
such a practical idea. Some people choose instead to use a simple bound
notebook, and just add to the back of it as they discover new items.
15. You may want to use one notebook for information copied from books or
downloaded off the Internet, and another for original creations. Regardless,
find the method that works best for you, and take good care of your Book of
Shadows. After all, it's a sacred object and should be treated accordingly!
Tips:
1. If you find a rite, spell or piece of information somewhere else, be sure to
note down the source. It will help you keep organized, and you'll start to
recognize patterns in authors' works.
2. Add a section that includes books you've read, as well as what you thought
of them. This way, when you get a chance to share information with others,
you'll remember what you've read.
