Paper War

[perzephone]

I've decided to convert the majority of documents I have into OpenOffice docs. As a result, I've actually been reading the stuff I have saved over the years.

I'm wondering to myself how much of it I should just delete?

I mean... it's been forever since I've been interested in astrology & numerology. Aside from the connections to the Tarot, I don't make charts anymore. I barely keep up w/my horoscope, other than to bemoan Rob Breszny's accuracy.

It's actually a pretty interesting choice I have. Do I keep any of my 'witchier' notes, or do I just chuck 'em all? I don't do spellwork (or any spiritual work for that matter) anymore - so do I really need the quantified results of various spells & rituals cluttering up my world? If I was an active witch in a coven or something, it might be worthwhile to compile everything into the fabled BoS and pass it on - but, meh. Why?

Yeah, methinks it's all gonna go bye-bye. Hello, gigs of storage freed from bondage!

I actually deleted a lot of pagan stuff off my computer last night, and threw out a bunch of stuff I'd printed out. I had a lot of academic references from about two weeks of research at my university's library so I could back up what I was saying in pagan debates, because that was like, so cool or some shit.

I binned it all. Lol.

Hey now, never underestimate the power of footnotes in any online Pagan debate. Nothing says 'your argument is invalid' like a reply in MLA formatting, complete with page references to actual books, especially if said books are at least 75 years old. Citing sources is one of the pillars of eclectic Paganism.

You could always burn it to CD if you need the disk space back.
