It’s an idea I’ve been playing with thanks to Blogger’s new categories feature.
I’ve never liked the way that traditional Taoism stood on keeping techniques and information secret from outsiders. Personally I think it should be shared, as you’ve probably gathered from the fact that this blog and all of my media is Creative Commons licensed! The CC license is to try and keep the info hosted here free of charge, if you find the info elsewhere and use it from there then fine.
So I’m going to create a category, as I’m not sure what to call it I’m going to adopt the pagan term “Book of Shadows”. It’s as good a term as any and I like the name, I find it quite poetic.
Of course, a large part of this Taoist Book of Shadows will be the comments and I’d like to encourage folk to post their views, corrections and other feedback on the articles in this category. This way we can turn this into so much more than merely a book style of thing.
Finally, this section will encompass not only Taoist techniques, but other techniques from other sources to complement them. Why? Because while the tone will be Taoist, I think we should remember the Uncarved Block and keep our minds as open as we can!
This will be the first entry in that category, in time I hope to build it into a place full of useful techniques and information for everyone to use and share.
Let’s see how it turns out!
