I don't practice witchcraft, but I love your channel and actually used this video and some others to help me deepen and create more intuitive/intentional habits in my prayer practice, plus start a lil prayer book/journaling along with bible readings. So thank you! We may have different beliefs, but there's no reason we can't take something from each other and let it help our own practices
Christians really been doing this for centuries though, think about it. Taking pagan practices and turning them christianized, all Christian holidays are based off of pagan holidays, Christmas, Easter, all saints day, lent, advent, saint Patrick's, valentines, etc. Etc.
i’m 9 years old and i love witch craft my aunt Devon was a witch she passed away about 3 years ago she was a beautiful woman just like you.You are so inspiring, I want to be just like you when i’m older.I have two best friends that want to live in the forest with me thank you so much
I'm so sorry that your aunt has left. You will see her again, sweetie. She's pure energy now and I've no doubt she watches over you. Keep watching people of this caliber. Learn, learn, learn. That's a huge part of this craft. I'm old enough to be your grandmom and if I had realized what I was at your age, I can't imagine how different my life would be.😊 Be well and blessed.🧙💕
It’s a good way to do it. Especially when you are left handed. I have tried numerous times to write calligraphy but most styles are difficult and uncomfortable for lefties. I just write what I want in a word document on my iPad, set it to whatever font I like, then trace over it. 👍😄
I used to have such a hard time with my book of shadows because i felt like it needed to be perfect , but i started making the pages in google docs first to kind of plan out what i want to write and draw ahead of time. it def helped. i also made a rule for myself that i will NEVER show ANYONE my bos, that way my perfectionism doesnt take over!
@@SLVRNN if you plan out your pages in Google docs first it takes the stress off for sure! Mine is almost done. :D I also recommend leaving pages blank in between ones so if you missed something you can go back and put it in!
@@kittyrosefaerie7464 that’s what I’m doing for my herbalism journal. I want a separate journal that’s dedicated to herbalism and a journal for general witchcraft findings etc. The BOS type of journal isn’t all perfect and cutesy like I want, but my herbalism journal is because I’m not free writing it lol. I pull up a word doc and have a general outline I got from her and draw out the illustrations and take what I typed and fit around my art. It’s also a black paper journal so I get to write in silver and white! It’s so pretty!
Well done bos should never be flashed around any way as you don't want people taking your work and saying they came up with it when they didn't that's the main reason why mine doesn't go up
I have the same problem right now. I am ADHD and don't even know where to start. I wish I knew of someone near me that could sit with me and help me along the way. I am not a real big people person and don't go out unless I have to go to the store or my appointments. Any ideas are welcome.
I really need to fix my life... I need to connect myself with nature but work and this quarentine has been taking my will to do anything... Your videos are so inspiring! I am a baby closet witch and I wish I could be like you ❤️❤️
Hey just tossing some ideas around you could use bottle spells, sigils, tarot, or grounding and these are all things that you can do during quarantine and they're easier to hide.
I love the idea of binding a book of shadows in such a way that allows for adding/removing pages! Does this yours have any sort of special or harder cover to help keep everything together & structured?
My book has always been in this older photo album with three rings . It had those hard photo pages with the clear sticky film , and I use those as dividers that get decorated heavily . It looks inconspicuous on my shelf , it has good vibes , and I can rearrange things as I need. I got mine from a thrift store, but they have alot of different styles on sites like amazon.
shy raven1206 you can get the same idea of being able to add and move pages by using a binder! It also doesn’t look as witchy if you’re in the broom closet.
Yeah such a good idea. I originally wanted a spiral notebook book of shadows but ended up with a sweet leather tome. I'll just have to trust my work and allow mistakes in my grimoire (not currently making a book of shadows with thoughts and moon cycles and stuff, just a grimoire for herb info and recipes for infusions and the like)
As a calligrapher, I am SO happy to see that you practice this also! You are doing a great job! The best ink I love that is a rich black is the Japanese Sumi ink. It bleeds the least and will give you beautiful lines. If you want to use handmade paper (cotton stock) you can spray it with hairspray prior to inking, and it will save your life and nibs.
I love how you did it so you can add and remove pages/ reorder them. This is something I was thinking about when deciding how to organize my stuff. I literally just have a box of loose paper ( at least its a pretty box with a key) with rituals and recipes written all over the place but I wanted to organize it better but couldn't find anything that fit what I wanted. It's funny because I made a "spell book/journal" when I was around 7 like this with tying the pages together. I had completely forgotten about it until this videos (so long ago lol). Thanks for sharing because you just totally brought some of my inner child inspiration back.
Did you see the post above about the witch who uses sticky photo albums? That would be convenient for you to glue your pages and scraps into, I bet. You could also buy a leather or occult-looking binding for an extra mysterious feel
Your voice is so soothing and soft. This inspired me alot. After 10 to 15 years of fears and research I decided to finally become myself and follow my path. I cannot wait to start my book of shadows and embace Wicca
i just wanted to thank you for always being a soothing place for me to come and feel my soul get lighter. i’ve been drifting from my craft and struggling with my mental health a lot lately and your videos are such a beautiful safe space. thank you.
I actually have like 7 untouched notebooks, I was scared to start it because I wanted it to be pretty (yes I'm a perfectionist and I can't help it) but your idea is so great that I'll use one of them for experimenting and I will set up my BoS with crafting paper now ✨❤️
wicca has really got me to focus on self love. instead of sitting on my phone i spend time with nature. Your videos have really helped and i plan to start my book of shadows
Love your artwork and the patience you have with your craft! Would love to see a look at Book of Shadows past and how your intake of information has evolved over the years or any tips on how to make the transition from learning to doing. I'm apprehensive of putting what I've learned so far into practice in fear that I didn't know that much to begin with due to the Dunning-Kruger effect. Thank you for the great content and looking forward to the next one =]
Greetings Annabel, Would you be willing to do a simple overview/tutorial of how you made your book? I've watched this video several times so far. And it has inspired me to tweak the design of my own future book. I love the idea of not having to worry about the limits a book with a spine would impose. Many Blessings
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a newborn witch and my book of shadows is currently very "logical" and I wanted to make it more crafty and artistic. Mine is a binder filled with notes I took from my meditation courses. I'll definitely be adding some intro pages with cut outs like yours 😍
I’m 13 and have just gotten into Wicca. I’m getting my first books on Wicca and witchcraft tomorrow and will get my first proper book of shadows at the same time. I’m incredibly excited to start and you’ve been a great inspiration for my interest in witchcraft. You’re incredible, thank you for your help
I stopped writing in my notebook because I felt like it was too chaotic and jumbled, but I started up again and decided to just make a more focused BoS once I get further along my path. Thanks for the inspiration! 😊💚
I got so much inspiration from this artwork that I decided to start making my Book of Shadows which I am calling Book of Light. It is not as nice as Annie's to start but I just want a whole compendium of all the things I learned thru out time. And to maybe incorporate every other book I've started into just one. I usually start something and never finish it. Hopefully I can this time.
Your videos have increased my desire to do paper cutout work. I've ordered a set of X-acto knives and will begin laying out some ideas of my own. Your vlog is so relaxing and motivating. I've been taking calligraphy for awhile and find that it fits along well with creating a Book of Shadows.
what is the dip pen you use for inking? Also, I'd love to hear the specifics of how you made your covers. It looks like you reinforced the around the holes, but I can't tell much more than that. I just finished making myself a super reinforced version of it. I so love the simple, earthy look of it. :)
So beautiful. I could watch this forever. At college a fell in love with paper cutting but I haven’t done it for years now. I really want to try it again
I love watching your videos! They, along with everything about you, bring me so much peace. I hope you know how much peace and joy you spread in the world!❤️
Your voice is so calming and soothing. After a night of dealing with insomnia, your video is lulling me to sleep. I'm going to have to save this video for later. 😁
I just started my book of shadows and it looks really different. I just use charcoal, different papers wax and even real herbs in my book of shadows! I've seen a lot of book of shadows and grimoires irl and online and I love to see all the different ways people make entries in them and decorate them!
I love your videos, they've inspired me to search and find my path. I lost my sister 2 years ago and I found your videos when I was real depressed. You've helped alot, many thanks and blessings!❤️🦋
Thank you for another beautifully crafted video. Your posts always relax and inform. I too am an artist! All my bos pages are hand painted and decorated. I am truly inspired by your lay out and the way you can change up your pages! I feel I stunted myself by choosing a sketchbook because I feel obligated to finish everything I'm a certain order. Which prevents me from adding other entries. Your tied in idea liberated me. Thank you so very much
I found some brown sketchbook paper on Amazon (I know not the best place to shop) it is in a pad but has perforated pages. Might be a time saver. Thanks for the video. My 2021 goals are to start my own book and journal and grow more- plants and myself! ✌🏻
That page and your drawings are so beautiful. I've never heard of a Book of Shadows and was drawn to see what it was all about. I'm not a witch but it's deep in my family. I have been interested in the Green Witch but never had instructions. I do know I am pagan. But even that is new to me because of being raised christian. I'm no denomination or christian anymore. I love nature and healing with nature or just using it for the joy of it. Thank you so much for introducing this beautiful book and your artwork.
Thank you so much for being such an inspiration! I’m so glad you shared this! Your videos have helped me to connect to my creative side and connect to the amazing energy of nature. 💕
This is great! after I finish my current book of shadows I think I will give something like this ago. I especially like that you can just move the pages around where you need them to be.
I find your channel so inspirational,so soothing,so beautiful. ♡♡♡ To me it also became a therapy from covid lockdown anxiety exhausted brain. Thank you for the beauty,for being yourself,for sharing these precious moments.
That’s amazing and so beautiful. I wish I had your talent. I am thinking about starting my own book of shadows and trying to figure out how to begin mine. Thank you for this. It is inspiring to show how much you put into your craft and the respect you give it.
Wow your drawings are so beautiful 😍 it's so creative everything!! I love to watch you doing this 💚 Aaaand the thumbnail is amazing with the plants coming out of the book and the fog. This whole video and everything around it is art 😍
What a beautiful video! Music, cinematography, content, voice and pace! Not so easy to find in the frenetic rush of life these days.., so thank you. I also wondered if you make your own ink, or do you buy it? Its just that I saw a man making his own ink from oak galls and your video reminded me of it , is all.
Thank you so much for sharing! I know these books can be very personal and many like to keep them private. But it’s nice to get to peak into someone’s for some inspiration. It definitely gave me some inspiration. 🌙🖤💐
Wow you are so talented 😍 I love how you make everything EVEN the book itself!! Give it such a lovely personal feel 🤍 I attempted to make a book once... It did not go well 🤣 xoxoxo
This is so inspiring to watch. Your patience and the careful time you take to craft this is amazing. You have a great artistic talent. I'd like to point out that the camera angles you use "through the plants" which create a border for the image shows how well you visualize composition. An enjoyable video. Thank you so much!! :-)
This gave me another good idea...cuz I been starting put everything into binder first and using clear pages that can slide stuff into to organize.somewhat alot stuff is written down messy and everywhere but one person video showed to draw and add things glue but draw over top kind of or around etc instead of redo it all.butni wanted make homemade books also (seperate type) so now seeing yours I can make book for adding pages instead of binder can do step by step...oh like collage around the messy stuff sometimes...some my stuff is things that happen and then info regarding that ...my path of awakening to physic side and so on....I'm nannling on n on ...lol...thx yur book is really nice ...I want lots art in mine also
Thank you so much for sharing! I made my own grimoire (I'm French so it's the name I use for it) with different types of paper so I could do watercolors as well as simple written-down information, and I bound it and stitched it by hand, with a hard cover and decorations serving as blessings and wards. I think a BOS/grimoire says so much about the witch and/or wiccan who uses it, so thank you for being willing to share some of it with us! I know that, with the way my practice is constructed and my personal believes held, I can't share everything from my grimoire, only snippets, so I always appreciate when other witches are brave enough to do share their own work. Lots of love from this Gallic witch.
I don't practice witchcraft, but I love your channel and actually used this video and some others to help me deepen and create more intuitive/intentional habits in my prayer practice, plus start a lil prayer book/journaling along with bible readings.

Aesthetic journaling isn’t a pagan thing Dude.
Thank u for being so open minded. I personally appreciate it so much.
Its not real witchcraft anyway so dont complicate yourself🙂

Hey
May you stay safe and be well & happy on your journey. Look for the helpers along the way. You will find that there are many.
I’m here watching your journey kid!

That’s amazing lovely ❤️
i really love how you cut out your art and glue it in, and that bottle is so beautiful !! im a baby witch and love watching your videos!!
I’m a baby witch too! Have any tips, if u want some just ask!
Emily Fennell i’m a baby witch too. do u know any spell bottle substitutes?
me too, except im a new wiccan ✨
I just started learning about witchcraft so I don't know what I am.
How about - since we are all baby witches - we share our Instagrams if we have it and give each other tips and be friends? ✨
How pretty, especially the paper cut outs! I do exactly the same with my "calligraphy", just copying it off a printout against a bright window 🙈
that's the best way to do it!
Are you a real witch? Your book is amazing
It’s a good way to do it. Especially when you are left handed. I have tried numerous times to write calligraphy but most styles are difficult and uncomfortable for lefties. I just write what I want in a word document on my iPad, set it to whatever font I like, then trace over it. 👍😄

Greetings Annabel,
Would you be willing to do a simple overview/tutorial of how you made your book? I've watched this video several times so far. And it has inspired me to tweak the design of my own future book. I love the idea of not having to worry about the limits a book with a spine would impose.
Many Blessings

PLEASE do a video about how you designed the cover of your book! I've spent the past three hours trying to figure it out
Me too!!!
I've been binging BOS flip throughs and considering they all seem to range from 9 to 3 years old, this new one is a blessing T-T
This is so aligned with my aesthetic. Thanks for sharing your process; it’s stunning!

"artistic background in paper cutting" checks out, your drawings and the way you cut them are really impressive!
what is the dip pen you use for inking?
Also, I'd love to hear the specifics of how you made your covers. It looks like you reinforced the around the holes, but I can't tell much more than that. I just finished making myself a super reinforced version of it. I so love the simple, earthy look of it. :)
Thank you so for the idea, never thought brown craft paper. Just beautiful work that you do.......

Can you teach us how to make the cover please??? I really love the way you organize your book of shadows!!
Love !!!!💙. .... What you do !!!!
You a magical.....

Thank you so much for sharing! I know these books can be very personal and many like to keep them private. But it’s nice to get to peak into someone’s for some inspiration. It definitely gave me some inspiration. 🌙🖤💐
This was so helpful, thank you. Your designs are absolutely gorgeous! You are so inspirational and an amazing artist!
Beautifully crafted 🖤 so calming to watch, thank you for sharing, your incredibly inspiring xx
Very aesthetically pleasing.
Wow you are so talented 😍 I love how you make everything EVEN the book itself!! Give it such a lovely personal feel 🤍 I attempted to make a book once... It did not go well 🤣 xoxoxo
I dont design it really, i just use colour pens and I sometimes draw some flowers. I dont have any drawing skills at all, but i love your design!
This was so relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing Annie! Please do more of these on your BOS! 🤍
Thank you. I love it. Can you add the links to the paper and tools you use please?
There is a drawing ink and drawing tip you can get if you did not know. Love your work.
This was gorgeous! I would love to see more!
I have a empty dotted journal from my bullet journal phase so now it’s a book of shadows
Beautifully done.
How did you bind your book of shadows?? Would it be possible for you to make a video showing us how to? If not thats ok!
I always come back bc this is SO pretty to see! Omg
You're so talented! This DIY book design is a work of art.
So lovely! Thank you for sharing!
This is so inspiring to watch. Your patience and the careful time you take to craft this is amazing. You have a great artistic talent. I'd like to point out that the camera angles you use "through the plants" which create a border for the image shows how well you visualize composition. An enjoyable video. Thank you so much!! :-)
This gave me another good idea...cuz I been starting put everything into binder first and using clear pages that can slide stuff into to organize.somewhat alot stuff is written down messy and everywhere but one person video showed to draw and add things glue but draw over top kind of or around etc instead of redo it all.butni wanted make homemade books also (seperate type) so now seeing yours I can make book for adding pages instead of binder can do step by step...oh like collage around the messy stuff sometimes...some my stuff is things that happen and then info regarding that ...my path of awakening to physic side and so on....I'm nannling on n on ...lol...thx yur book is really nice ...I want lots art in mine also

Thank you so much for sharing! I made my own grimoire (I'm French so it's the name I use for it) with different types of paper so I could do watercolors as well as simple written-down information, and I bound it and stitched it by hand, with a hard cover and decorations serving as blessings and wards. I think a BOS/grimoire says so much about the witch and/or wiccan who uses it, so thank you for being willing to share some of it with us! I know that, with the way my practice is constructed and my personal believes held, I can't share everything from my grimoire, only snippets, so I always appreciate when other witches are brave enough to do share their own work. Lots of love from this Gallic witch.
If you ever publish your book cause I will be first one to buy it. I love old recipes of oils🌹
Oh I love your style. How beautiful!!
this is literally so awsome! I wish I could do something like that :)
Thank you for sharing
