My Galdrabók

Many people have asked me what my Galdrabók ( of Shadows) looks like. So I thought I’d show it off. I designed everything (frame, pattern and ) and built the frame myself. A friend in Denmark did the leather and I bound it all by hand. It’s printed on a color laser printer.

It isn’t light reading. There’s about 1400 A4 pages, and the thing weighs in at about 12 lbs/6kg.

I haven’t done much work on the physical book in the last couple of years, since I’ve saved almost everything on my server. What’s here is what’s in it now. But I plan to do something about that. I’ve got lots of room for additions.

The setup in the pictures isn’t my altar or anything. It was just an arrangement I did when I took the pictures. You’ll get to see my altar when it’s finished.

First small broom finished

Well, I reached one of my goals this weekend. I finished one of the small brooms:

I hope I’ll be able to continue on the first of the two larger ones as well.

I was hoping to start ’s gnome hat as well, but I’ll have to postpone it. The knitting needle I bought is covered in nickel (which I’m allergic to), so I’ll have to return/exchange it. I bought it on Friday, so I have 8 more days to do so.

In my naivety, I actually thought they’d stopped using nickel in thing you have to handle with your bare hands, so I didn’t read the label. It’s nickel plated, and I felt it as soon as i touched it. Unfortunately I was already on the boat when I did, so I couldn’t return it right away. I’ll have to do so next week.
