Dear JMG, You said : "paper isn't good at holding magical energies for long." This was almost like a mule kick to the groin. Up until this moment I would affirm the opposite. I used a Liber Spiritus, paper amulets (similar to Fu talismans), and held in my hand a very lively Sword Sutra (a book infused with protective magic that strikes like a sword whoever menaces it's owner). Now I have to think hard and consider if it was the paper that was holding the charge for long, If it was the regular use of the books that kept them energized through out the years, or if the consecration ritual (that was repeated regularly) created a permanent flow of energy. Blessed Be, you never cease to teach me, amaze me and challenge my assumptions. Whispers
