For the last few months I have been working on the creation of a personal art journal fashioned in the style of the medieval Book of Hours. A book of hours is an illuminated manuscript, Christian devotional book that was popular among the Christians of Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. Thousands of these books were created as a single copys with elaborate borders and illustrations. Because of the amount of time and money to create these books they were usually owned by the wealthy class. The books contained many different prayers sometimes used for meditation and accompanying mass. My own Book of Prayers contains pagan prayers, blessing and spells that celebrate life through a changing season. I plan to work on this project throughout the year hopefully completing it by Samhain, October 31 of 2013. I have no intention of publishing this project since only a single personal copy will be created and hand bound by myself. I am using several sources for the content, most notably one of my favorite books from my personal collection is A Book of Pagan Prayers by Ceisiwr Serith, http://www.amazon.com/Book-Pagan-Prayer-Ceisiwr-Serith/dp/1578632552. This is the closest book I have to a traditional Bible and I refer to it constantly for inspiration and the creation of my own personal prayers. The author has done an extraordinary job in researching and compiling prayers from many pagan cultures throughout the world. Another major source for content comes from a Pagan Book of Hours, Order of the Horae, First Kingdom Church of Asphodel, http://www.paganbookofhours.org/ and Internet Sacred Text Archive. http://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm
