Liber Umbrarum Available!
Well I don’t know when it happened because I never received a notice from Apple, but Liber Umbrarum et Lux was released and is available for download – in time for Bealtine too!
It might have been yesterday or today, but whenever it was, here’s the link where you can grab it: Liber Umbrarum et Lux at the App Store
It is, of course, free – so enjoy!
Cheers!
I have been enjoying the Liber Umbrarum et Lux on my iPod. I was especially excited about the herbs. I would really like to see that section expanded in the future. I am working on a project like that myself (mostly medicinal but also magickal) but I am pretty much low tech. No programing for me
Thanks.
would you be open to adding others additions to this? If not what did you write it in? I would love to put my book in that format so I can use my phone instead of my paper book…
Interesting query, Manshoon – I had not really thought of that before. In the past I would simply have given away the source code and you or anyone else could do whatever you wanted with it. (See my Liber Umbrarum on the Apple Newton, for example.)
However, Apple has chosen to keep a very, very tight control on coding for the iPhone, making it a much more laborious and red-tape-infested process. You can’t even code applications just for your own personal use, without having to pay a $100 per year fee.
My concern due to the way Apple has structured things is that if I release the source code, someone else could then resubmit it to Apple as a paid app after making some cosmetic changes and I don’t want to have to get into a fight over that kind of thing – I can’t afford the time let alone the legal bills.
As for incorporating elements of other peoples’ books into the version I’ve created for the iPhone, that’s something I just had not thought about – it’s the first time someone has mentioned it in all the years since I first published my Liber Umbrarum electronically. It is something I will have to put some thought into before I can really comment further.
