I chose Creating a Book of Shadows because this is one of the first classes that I want to take once I finish the orientation series. Which is why I chose to write about this class in particular. I have tried a few times to create my own, but I have never gotten very far in doing so. Because of this I am hoping that with a little structure and support I will actually be able to finish this time. My expectations from this class are not very difficult. I expect to have the beginnings of my Books of Shadows by the time the class is done. I know that the Book of Shadows is a growing thing that is never really complete which is why I say I will have the beginnings of my Book of Shadows. I am looking forward to this class though because this is something I have wanted to start for a very long time. I know that this class is required for some other classes, but when I first saw this class I knew this was one I was going to take. I have been very impatient to get to this class and I think I am still a bit impatient to get to this class, but I know that it will happen pretty soon so for that I am grateful.

They look like this: I will have an index at the back to give page numbers for everything so I can find things quickly.

Plagiarism can also happen when you simply forget to cite a source you have used. In this situation, it would not be intentional, but it would still be plagiarism. This is why it is so important to cite everything you use to even form your own opinion about a topic.             There are several different types of plagiarism but the most common seems to be the omission of a citation. This could be either intentional or unintentional, but it is plagiarism either way. Another form is taking words verbatim from one or multiple sources and placing it in your own work without a citation. The final form of plagiarism is to use paraphrasing and not citing your sources. It is very important to take down information about every article you read so that you can return later to cite it if you use anything from it (information or id

Grounding and Centering

Grounding and centering seem to be one of the most important things a person should learn if he or she is going to work with energy. This allows the person to ensure the energy level is good and that it is the right energy for the working. There are many ways in which this can be done and some traditions have certain ways they would like this done, but in actuality, it is up to the person doing this to decide what is the right or wrong way for him or her. One way to center and ground is to imagine either pulling energy from or pushing energy to the Earth. When you are grounding, you are usually pushing excess energy into the Earth with allows you to relax. Centering in making sure that the energy within is flowing the way it should be. The use of visualization in centering and grounding allows you to see where the energy is and where you want it to go. In this manner one can see what is happening with the energy within him or herself to use it more effectively. Another way to ground an
