ORIGINAL: IronBear As soon as I can get a scanner working, I'll be happy to share some of what I do.. I'm also rewriting the five books of the "Codices Venifica" which incorporates my original "Book of Shadows" using 9thC Irish unical script and illuminating the work page by page Book of Kells style using hand cut quills and rag paper which is the closest to [parchment in A2 size format to be bound between wooden covers covered in goat skin. (All hinges and lock will be hand made brass hinges and lock). Wow. That is impressive. And believe me, I've studied enough history to know just how impressive that is. (I am in the SCA and my persona is 9thc Irish. 's my area of interest) I'm curious, you're using the script, but what language are you chosing to write in? I'm unfamiliar with the "Codices Venifica" so perhaps that answers my question there, but I honestly don't know. It -is- possible to get parchment or vellum I've found, but it's a bit hard to obtain here. I dunno what the availablility would be like where you're at, and I imagine you've already looked into this. :) Wow. Thank you for sharing! I'm also ex SCA (I never bothered to maintain membership when I moved to Queensland). Parchment is available but not in the bulk quantities I want. The Codices when finished will run in excess of 2000 pages (my estimation) and it is a work of love. The language is english for it is a working copy or what may have been considered as my personal grimiors. The Codices venifica translates into "The Books of Sorcery" and encompases all the magickal writings I have accumulated over the last 37 years, and is the book which has all the laws etc of the Clan O'Sliabh which is my own personal group.
