The Eternal Grimoire: what would you dare to leave behind?

[Eldros]

What if you knew that anything you wrote today could still be read thousands of years from now?
If you had the chance to write an occult book that might outlive you - and maybe even your entire civilization - would you do it?
What would you put in it - your experiences, rituals, secrets, or things you discovered along the way?
And would you be comfortable knowing that people centuries from now might interpret your words completely differently?
What would you dare to leave behind?

Got to be honest, don't really have any occult-related material of value that would be of that much interest to ppl 1000s of years in the future. If they wanted to read my ramblings on here, they are welcome to them

And yeah, if for some reason I did and ppl misunderstood that would be fine, I guess. You can't really control how anyone is going to react to/interpret what you write at the end of the day.

I think that’s kinda the fun part though.
Once you leave something behind, you have no idea what people are gonna make of it.
Someone years later might find some deep meaning in something you wrote that you didn’t even mean that way…

This sounds like the Voynich manuscript unless someone has cracked it since I last looked?

Haha --I’ve never heard of it
But I’m curious though. What’s the story with it?

It's basically an early 1400s manuscript with loads of weird diagrams and text that no-one has deciphered (as far as I'm aware).

Wow… that looks pretty thick!
I love the handwriting, though.
And that old paper… so nice!
