Description:

I "stole" this idea from a public swap by @Katica I thought it would be a fantastic idea for all of you new to paganism. Everyone should feel comfortable joining this, what YOU have to offer IS valuable.

You will be making mini book of shadows pages for this. Make the pages the size of a regular postcard and please only write/decorate on one side in case some people choose to glue the cards into a book. And please sign you swapbot name in one corner of the cards.

You will have three swap partners and you will send two cards to each partner. This means that you will write on/decorate, in total, 6 cards and get 6 cards back yourself. The idea is to repeat this swap several times if it's a success and you will then hopefully wind up with a postcard sizes book of shadows made for you by your fellow swap-bot witches. Pretty cool huh? :-)

What kind of information should go on the cards? Well, I know a lot of you are newer than new to paganism, but please don't let that stop you, we still want what YOU have to offer. You can put meditations, prayers, chants, spells, ritual instructions, lists of uses for herbs or gems, recipes for pagan holiday foods or recipes for things like herbal teas etc, information about myths or important historical pagan cultures or events, instructions for pagan crafts, personal poems relating to paganism....As you can see, there is a wide variety of information you can choose to put on your cards, and you can decorate them in any manner you choose to, so have fun and be creative with this.

I will write this again for good measure: Please put the information on one side of the card only so that people may choose to put their cards in an album or paste them into a book.

I highly encourage everyone to jump in on this swap. If you are new this is a really easy way to gather more information on paganism from people with more experience. If you are experienced it will be a fun collection to have. Just think how cute that little postcard sized Book of Shadows is gonna be.

I will remind you again to please sign you swapbot name in one corner of the cards. Other than that just have lots and lots of fun with this. I hope many will sign up so we can do this swap again many times :-)

great idea, but i just dont sign up for swaps that are more than 1 partner, its like my little swapping self imposed limit!

anyway.....happy swapping!!

I think this is a really great idea too but 2 cards for 3 partners is way too much for me :o(

I was wondering: Does it have to be the thickness of a postcard, so it will actually be a postcard, just with information on it or can it be paper?

I'm gonna have to push the date on this about a week. I need extra time. I just got a new job and they are sending me out of town for training, so I will be away for some time. I don't wanna stress this project so I hope everyone will bear with me for editing the time.

@Sylvana you can use whatever thickness paper you want, just make it something nice you would be happy with yourself. But I know you will ;-)
