I started with a composition booklets, you know, the black and white ones. They were cheap and I was poor.
I started out my 1st BOS with a theme. It was Egypt. I thought I had to do an Egyptian history and who’s who of the Egyptian Pantheon. Lots of work and as I go over it 20 years + later[about 1998] it was impressive. I found spells on the net that I liked and transcribed them into my book. tried to give credit to the original author. Found Page separators with various Egyptian themes. Oh, my. I had recipes for illness and beauty, perfumes, essential oils. Rich got pissed as devout Baptists can. So, I put it away.
About 2000, I put together the 2nd of several BOS the theme? Dragons, that proved to be again, a lot of research and another book filled. Probably a lot of repeats, but I enjoyed it. I also did a book on elements, wolves, etc.
Hey, I’m old and retired, I had the time.
Until I joined Spells8 I stayed on the periphery of magick. Then I found a huge book series “Enhancing your Mind, Body & Spirit”

For some reason they were unable to generate a preview for this web page, But it is an active site.
It isn’t cheap, but it is educational and someday I’ll finish it.
That’s how I started Bryce and it still seems to be on goin.
