I have a personal question for those who take notes.
Hello guys, i know its "a little" private but i need some advice. I "converted" to Roman Paganism about a month or two ago. Actually, I've been a pagan for 12-13 years now. So i'm used to take notes about my beliefs like "book of shadows" and i'm taking notes about Religio Romana too. But i want to ask some questions to be sure that i'm doing it correct
- I dont want to call my notes "book of shadows" or something, did Rome has a special name for that? Or should i just call "my notes" etc.?
- Most importantly, did you write it historically full correct? Or did you add your own opinions too? For now i just follow the sources but when i'm start to edit, probably i will add my opinions. I know there's normally no single right answer in these kinds of matters. But honestly, I don't want to make mistakes either. So, do you add your opinions to fill in any gaps you find (or that seem gap to you), or do you just leave them as they are?
I know it sounds strange for someone who says "I've been a Pagan for 12 years" to ask this. Adding my own perspective was somewhat necessary, as I was involved in witchcraft-style activities for a large part of that time. However, I stopped those kinds of things about a year ago, and although I continue to take notes, it's left me feeling a bit lost. So I'm curious about your thoughts and what you're up to.
