A secret from the art world: if you make art you are an artist. I see those beautiful illustrations and calligraphy, texture and color choices. Also, hair, fashion, and video editing is art too!
Thank you love!! Ok I will definitely claim the title 💗 I think because my husband is a professional artist I discount what I do as but that a silly mindset and you're absolutely right!
When I get mine I’m putting meme stickers on it... so people think it’s just a sketchbook, I try to make it look normal so if I take it outside, then it’s *just a sketchbook* because I’m in the broom closet
I don't show my book of shadows to anyone because i also write my dreams down in that book. I don't want anybody to read about my detailed sex dreams 😂😂
I'm looking into witchcraft as a possible practice/lifestyle for myself and this video helps a lot! Thanks so much for your clear information and your beautiful examples :DD
Love this! I've got ADHD and I can't work with binders without it feeling wrong, so I'm using an A5 notebook with the plan to set it up bullet journal style! That way when I inevitably forgot herbs (like I have already), crystals etc. I can just put it in my index and still have the ability to refer back to it!
It’s crazy how the universe provides what you NEED in the MOMENT it’s needed. Although this video is almost a year old, I’m excited to find this channel. Each witch is different, there is no specific way. I just told a fellow witch, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been practicing, we learn new things each day. I look forward to binging your videos.
thank you so much for this video !! after years of just taking notes on random pieces of paperi finally am starting a BOS hahaha also AHH your illustrations are amazing !!
I am a white passing Choctaw woman and RUclips is always recommending me white creators. I am so happy that you have hit my feed and made me aware that I do not have enough diversity in my subscriptions. Just needed to call RUclips and myself out there. Thank you for making videos to teach us baby witches.
I just found your channel because I’m looking to start a grimoire. And I absolutely love you! Your energy, your vibes! Literally everything you are so amazing!
I’m a baby witch and girl your vibe is just amazing I love you 💕 any bad day turns into a good just watching you video and gaining knowledge ✨ stay blessed
Pink!! So darned cute! I love your book, it’s so beautiful. Your drawings are fantastic, I just love all the details. I agree, I love a decorated three ring binder for my BOS/ Grimoire. I need to reorganize mine and get better about adding pages. Oh my Goddess! Thanks for the shout-out!!! You rock my friend!! 💖🧚🏾♂️🌿
YES to the binder tip, switching from a regular notebook to a binder is what finally got me started after months of tiptoeing around it ! I kept all of my research in digital form and never wrote anything down for a long time because I was always afraid of messing things up or not knowing how to organise things. A binder takes all of that stress away. If you don't like how a page comes out it's easy to just do it again, you can organise things etc. I love that if I want to add a subject I can just start a new page, it makes it so much easier to get work done instead of being stuck because you don't know how much space you're going to need or because it doesn't go with what you wrote before. I know its not the most aesthetically pleasing choice but you can always transfer it to another book when you feel more confident !
I made an awesome grimoire for all information, and I also found a beatiful journal for my book of shadows which is a bit more personal and isn’t just, like, info.
my grandma has this medicinal plants, herbs, and flowers' book that is so darn useful! it includes what are they used for, the parts of the plant that can be used, the contradictions, and so much more. when i have the chance, i'll include the name of the book if i get to find the english version (since her book is in spanish lol). i'm only a beginner but i recommend everyone who studies herbs and plants to study from these types of books. 😊 my best wishes and regards xx update: unfortunately, i couldn't find the english version, but the book is called "el poder medicinal de las plantas - dr. reinaldo sosa gómez" for whoever needs it :)
I have never been great about recording my practise... But when I do, I break it down almost exactly like this. My BOS is my course work and my Grimoire is the finalized stuff. I have found breaking up both into sections really helps, especially when looking for something.
Most helpful RUclipsr I have see. I find a lot of people don’t give to much information for baby witches I subbed and can not wait to continue my learning from you ❣️ blessings to you
so glad I watched your video! I was considering getting a preMade Grimoire (mine was also stolen long ago, 15yrs later I’m gonna try again). Your binder idea is just way better! Thank you for sharing your method, I needed the advice
When I was in a store with my brother and cousins for school shopping, I found a black notebook that has a lot of glitter on it that I’ve decided to use for my book
Being new to spirituality in general I've never made this sort of notice or comment about a person but I just have to say, you have an explosive aura about you! Your charisma is through the roof! You're a lovely soul, I've subbed :3
You can find tons online then try to cross-reference or combine some lines and take out what's not necessary. You can also try to improvise a spell that was already written so that it could fit according to your way.
I slapped a sigil on mine that simply prevents anyone who would open it from being able to use those spells, like they can read the spells but they won't work for them or they'll backfire. Imma put some other sigils in it too once I think of some other ways to protect it.
I have some crystals in an online cart, been holding off. Then you went and specifically mentioned “labradorite”, which is the crystal I’ve been hesitating with...okay, it’s purchased!!!
I made my own bos binder because of you! It looks good for now but later I'll make another I'm sure. Complete with rainbow tabs and fabric with sparkly shiny planetscape. I absolutely love your idea and spent about 50 bucks getting supplies for an easy bos binder! Ill show you on insta! ❤️❤️
I feel comfortable watching Your Videos. Thank You for making videos and explaining things that I want to do and write down. In order to write down what im learning.
Thank you for sharing this! I love the idea of having your "rough draft" binder and then copying it into your permanent Grimoire when you've solidified. I struggle so much with figuring out how to set mine up. I finally just started one so I had something with the knowledge that I'll end up copying it over into something different once I solidify my style/practice/knowledge. Using a binder - and gluing fabric to it - love that!! - is a really helpful idea!
You are absolutely delightful! I like your take on the difference between Book of Shadows and a Grimoire that makes sense to me. Thanks for all your information. Blessings.
Thank you for uploading again! Since I found your channel I have been watching your videos A LOT and I just want to thank you for all the knowledge you have shared with us, it has been so useful and informative! You are such a wise witch and your are so fun at the same time. Thank you, thank you, thank you! By the way, your book of shadows is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely an inspiration to improve mine (its a lil messy lol) ily ♥
So glad i happened upon this video, even if it was a couple years late lol. I struggle with my BOS and wanting things to be in order but always learning new information. Somehow i never thought to use a binder!
Thank you!! I actually just started making my first Grimoire and I’m so pumped! I’ve always been taking note but my Grimoire is just gonna be a fancy little witchy book, kinda like how you explained it! I just finished tea staining paper a few days ago.
I should of started one years ago. Wished i had so shall i do. But if something happens to me. I was afraid some one would see it. That i didnt want to. So i ll keep it with my son. Thanks for pushing me.😀 oh yours looks so great...you should sell them..
Thinking on shadow work...had to come here to say, some time ago I made a comment on you switching the definition of grumpier and now, but I was then being taught someone's facts that were not my personally experienced interrelations. As we know now this is a wildy miscommunicated topic. But I just wanted to say I share your perspective and practice and just wanted to apologise for tossing around judgements during my "baby witch" phase. I watch you all the time love what you create and craft. Blessed be and stay minty!
ur videos always make me sooo happy 🥺🥺🥺 as a cottage witch and aphrodite devotee you make me feel so cozy and inspire me to love my craft even more!!! i love pastels and disney and all things cute and there’s definitely a bit of negativity towards those things in the witchcraft community. i just want to thank you for producing content that makes so many people so happy with themselves and their craft, and in general!!! 💞💖🕊
Thank you so much for your explanation! I’ve been wondering about this as I’ve been planning to start my first BOS. It’s so helpful to hear the differences between your books, how you use them and how you break them up. I love how it’s decorated too! This is giving me great ideas 😊 Thank you!!! 💚💚💚
I love your energy and as a fledgling (albeit broomcloseted) Witch just putting together a BoS your advice has made be lose some of the uncertainty of my own. My BoS was originally a sketchbook that wasn't right for my art so I ended up repurposing it. At first I was scared I was being disrespectful converting it to something sacred to my journey. After this video I was able to like that it was repurposed and how it already had a lot of me poured into it prior to my beginnings. On a lighter note, it seems between my art and witchcraft I might finally be able to get through all of those notebooks/sketchbooks/journals I've been hoarding haha.
Thank you so much for being your wonderful, lovely, radiant self! I'm so glad I've found you. I have been stubborn about a BoS for a long time now. I don't really know why I was so hesitant to start one, but you really helped me understand the importance of it. But also the somewhat casual nature of it too. It doesn't need to be some perfect, spell filled tome. It's about my journey, my learning, and my discoveries. Light and love to you!
Thanks for this so much💓. I'm new to all of this and I don't know how to start on my BoS... It's literally on my chest right now as I'm watching this video 😅
For my bos I started with journal like prompts, like "what are your interests in this subject?" Or "what would you like to gain from this?" Since I'm a baby witch I thought it'd be a good start :)
just starting out with witchcraft now and i'm SO glad you talked about using a binder, because knowing me i'll start one section and not finish and have a whole mess with intermingling info!! And now I can make a cool little cover for the old binder i have in a cabinet somewhere haha ALOS, your art is beautiful! in my opinion, anyone who creates art is an artist!!
I’m so glad I saw this! I was looking at the books on Etsy & Amazon, can be expensive. I like your idea best. Being able to add or remove pages, that’s great! Thank you! 🤗

Her hair is art 😍
Totally agree!
@@Mintfaery yes! The practice of art is what being an artist is
“I’m not an artist.” Proceeds to show the prettiest illustrations I’ve ever seen.
Exactly like they’re beautiful 💜
My exact thought!!
"I will continue to share my knowledge with everyone, even thieves." is like.... a motto.
She is special stuff
You got that Cool Dope Older Sister vibe ❤️ I love it ❤️
Agree
When I get mine I’m putting meme stickers on it... so people think it’s just a sketchbook, I try to make it look normal so if I take it outside, then it’s *just a sketchbook* because I’m in the broom closet
Same💀
thats a neat way to do it lol yeah thats good
Sameee and actually thats a good idea! Thanksss!!
I conceal my things in plain sight, aka not being able to get anything fancy cuz of your home situation :')
its just that till they wanna see a drawing
You had me at “cute grandma aesthetic” omg
Thank you for this video!! It’s very informative for those of us who are beginning our witchy journeys!
i love that she holds up a fluffy pink book with cartoon flower on it and say "this is my book of shadows!"
I love your Grimoire, your hair and those earrings! You are so funny and talented! I was waiting for you to upload again!❤️😻🙏🏾
Thank you love!!
I don't show my book of shadows to anyone because i also write my dreams down in that book. I don't want anybody to read about my detailed sex dreams 😂😂
Omg 😹😹 same

THE PLUCKA PLUCKA!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✨
Technical term 👌🏽🤣
Mine is in a 3-ring binder too... with a custom cover (I actually sell BOS covers for 3-ring binders).
Your book is GORGEOUS and so you!
Aahh yes!! Binders are so great! Thank you love!!

I have a "work book" that i use basically as a magickal journal/ "rough draft" for my grimoire which is a WHOLE art project😂✌💜🌙
thank you so much for this video !! after years of just taking notes on random pieces of paperi finally am starting a BOS hahaha also AHH your illustrations are amazing !!
Ah so that is why I am drawn to u... Cutesie grandma style ;)
You’re the only witch Im subscribed to because you have really good energy and it comes through the screen 🖤

"white passing Chickasaw woman" here hehe that made me giggle a bit, thank you! 💞👊💞

I just wanted to say that, as a long time fan of In Love With A Ghost, it makes me so so happy to see you crediting them in the description 💞💓💖
Thank you for putting this out! You have explained this so much better than so many of the others I have watched!
your energy is so radiant and beautiful

Synchronicities .... I was just redoing my B. O . S!!
Yessss!! 💗🌿
Oh my goodness! You look wonderful with that color!
Love the binder concept, it's exactly what I was working for! I also just love your energy 💕💕
For someone who is not a painter that looks amazing!!!
This is the first video I see of you and you're honestly one of the coolest people I've ever seen
Just hearing you talk puts my soul at ease.
I love your grimoire and you BoS frr i love how positive you are. I love youu
your book of shadows is so pretty and fuzzy ! :) Mine is pink and blue with stickers of my animal guides etc.
Most helpful RUclipsr I have see. I find a lot of people don’t give to much information for baby witches I subbed and can not wait to continue my learning from you ❣️ blessings to you
To be frank, you make lovely plant work in your BOS. Its amazing ^^

oh that's a good distinction between the two books. thanks
I stumbled on your video and Im in love. I love your energy. Amazing! Thank you so much for being!
Loved the binder idea!!!!!!!!!!
im really trying to find a Protection spell for my book of shadows. having a hard time creating one or finding one that calls out to me...
You can find tons online then try to cross-reference or combine some lines and take out what's not necessary. You can also try to improvise a spell that was already written so that it could fit according to your way.
Protection jar spells are great for long term protection and protection candle spells are good for a boost, I find!
Would you use a Sigil?
I slapped a sigil on mine that simply prevents anyone who would open it from being able to use those spells, like they can read the spells but they won't work for them or they'll backfire. Imma put some other sigils in it too once I think of some other ways to protect it.
Best video about this topic I’ve seen yet💕💕✨
New sub here. I adore your hair, your whole vibe. I'm new to the yarn thing and currently have black and red twists. Love the videos too.
I have some crystals in an online cart, been holding off.
Then you went and specifically mentioned “labradorite”, which is the crystal I’ve been hesitating with...okay, it’s purchased!!!

Starting just newly and I already loved your vibe! Looking forward to learning new things from you🤗😙
Scrap books are good as well, just make sure it has the pins that screw in and unscrew so you can add, change, or take things out as you want.

I've just found this video while looking up about BOS and I instantly love everything about you. Never subbed so fast in my life 🖤
Thank you for sharing your beliefs and experiences. I’ve always been curious about what a grimoire is.
I love your energy and as a fledgling (albeit broomcloseted) Witch just putting together a BoS your advice has made be lose some of the uncertainty of my own.

These are really lovely ideas, thank you!!
oh my gosh you like watership down! That has made me very happy, its my favourite book/ movie. Anyway I'll actually start the video now :3
You’re an artist!!!!!!!! A beautiful gorgeous sparkling shining ARTIST!!! - an artist 👩🎤

A binder!! Omg why didn’t I think of that I’m constantly taking pages out of my notebook
My hairs are pink too!!!!!!! Super cute on you.
Thanks!! 💗
I found a cute brown book with a tree on it that says “sketchbook ” I think it’s kinda funny and it mirrors me.
Thanks for this so much💓. I'm new to all of this and I don't know how to start on my BoS... It's literally on my chest right now as I'm watching this video 😅
I have one book and one side is my BOS and the other side is my book of spells. It’s apt easier to work with for me💕💕
Your aesthetic and organization speaks to my soul thank you for this this was super helpful xo
This was so helpful. Right now I'm just starting out and am researching and reading books before I start trying things out
Had to sub. Your energy is just beautiful
i really love you’re vibe , and you’re so pretty btw . also thank you for this knowledge
For my bos I started with journal like prompts, like "what are your interests in this subject?" Or "what would you like to gain from this?" Since I'm a baby witch I thought it'd be a good start :)
just starting out with witchcraft now and i'm SO glad you talked about using a binder, because knowing me i'll start one section and not finish and have a whole mess with intermingling info!! And now I can make a cool little cover for the old binder i have in a cabinet somewhere haha
ALOS, your art is beautiful! in my opinion, anyone who creates art is an artist!!
I’m so glad I saw this! I was looking at the books on Etsy & Amazon, can be expensive. I like your idea best. Being able to add or remove pages, that’s great! Thank you! 🤗
