i love the stamp divider!!! i love the velvet too. i added some to mine also, thanks for the idea!
When I get any type of leather I always put Vaseline on it then rub it in so it protects it from water... Hope that helps... Loving your video's thanks...
I just used one of those super mega jars on my new leather jacket 😂😂😂😂
does that work for faux leather too? sorry i wasnt sure if it was included in 'any type'
Faux leather is usually pvc or vinyl so want something you wouldn’t use on leather. You can buy vinyl spray in shoe shops for cleaning faux accessories, I’d go for something like that. You’ll struggle to make vinyl more pliable, you can fold it with heat - just warm it with a hair dryer and fold til it cools. But it rarely stays pliable unless it started out pliable
@@RhomanysRealm thank you!
Ive actually ordered what you would call a 'workbook of shadows' i need to get back into what my mother taught me. I was so much happier as a kid, and I know why. The spiritual connection I had with my mother, and the circles she used to take me to. When I stopped all of that, it was like I was abandoning everything I was taught as a kid. when my mom died, I left everything behind and converted to Christianity for the same emotional support I had around my mother. But then I started to question it. Having been on both sides of the fence, I can say that we all, every human being, Actually warships the same god. Pagans call him simply spirit. To me, this is just fine. Everyone needs something to believe in.
do come join us in the fb group if you'd like. we have beginners to very experienced and even a few Christians thrown in for good measure. plenty of advice, support and guidance if you need it :)
I actually did already. :3 Someone already approved me too, but because of my autism, i get really confused as to what to say sometimes, So forgive me if I don't comment very often.
Yay I thought I might be the only one who saves the most random things. I have all sorts of clippings, paper bags, tissue paper scraps, etc.
dez yates Oh no, there's a whole community of us out there! The thing is actually using them lol
May I make a suggestion? Maybe try using a dark brown fineliner instead of a purely black one for your text. In that way the text and images seem more like they belong together. The aged picture now looks so lovely aged while the text is so suprisingly modern. You know, just my two cents :)
This is absolutely the best how to book of shadows I have ever seen. You really know your craft. Thank you for sharing you skills, I will practice what you have shawn.
Love this video there’s some great tips in here for lines and the awkwardness of using a light box to see through to a guide I have a flat led light box it’s about 2cm thick so it slides inside a book nicely and you can work anywhere with it
I have a flat one now too! It’s less than 1cm thick! I also use my iPad screen which works really well.
I loved watching your creative process! Thanks for sharing.
I am just getting back into the craft. I should never have let others influence whats brings me unlimited peace and joy. Thank you for your channel. Its wonderful
It’s both sad and liberating to realise that you’re not doing what’s best for you. Hope things improve from here
@@RhomanysRealm You are absolutely right it is both sad and liberating at the same time. I can tell you this for a fact, the peace I felt when I started to reconnect one step at a time, is so deep, so personal and so strong, there is no word to describe it.
It is because of beautiful sisters like you; finding that cross road becomes less fearful and more about the journey itself.
I will never deny myself that unlimited joy, peace and mutual love and respect ever again.
Thank you for being the beautiful light guardian that you are. ❤️
Amazing, you are the 1st person I've come across who has referred to the fact that the Southern Hemisphere's wheel is upside down. Enjoyed your video immensely. )O(
hallets1956 That's because I'm English and we remember there are other countries in the world besides our own ;)
I've watched this 10 times! Thank You! :D
Planning to bring some more of these videos to yt this year :)
thank you for your warning! ;-) A good help against such nasty stains: put leather balm on it (even vaseline does a great job on it!!) it will help to bring the colour "back" on the leather, and it is a great help against wetness. kind regards from Vienna/Austria!
Normally that works but this due comes off.
Thank so much for sharing! I am waiting for my blank book to arrive any day now so I can get started on my BOS. I love all your ideas, you book is wonderful and unique.
Tabby catz Thank you!
i came across your page and thought it was marvelous! I live in the United States and I am glad that i came across your video. You have given me some ideas for my BOS. I look forward to viewing more of your videos! Blessed Be!!
Your book is so lovely! I have been what is pretty much an artists block for quite some time now and I have been itching to buy a nice leather BOS. I just didn't want to ruin it. This gives me some awesome ideas and I really love the work book of shadows :) I also would not have even though to do a tester page in my nice one, so that's a really great idea. Thank you so very much for sharing!
Ooh I bloody loved this video!! You've really helped me with my creativity/perfectionist issues I have going on right now when it comes to doing my book! Lovely! x
Fabulous! A lovely beginning...thanks for sharing your process :)
+Mary Doukakis thanks for watching ;)
+Mary Doukakis thanks for watching ;)
Thanks so much for this video, it's full of useful tips that I will use! You're a joy to watch, and very entertaining as well. :-)
I love your box of tricks, what a fab little rummaging box! fab vid thanks x
I think I picked it up in a garden centre. Wish I'd picked up a couple more. I'd love to decorate it in the style of Carolee Clarke www.kingofmice.com/aaa/Home.htm
RhomanysRealm
I love her stuff, off to have a nosey at her site now!
I LOVE your witchy wednesday!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
I'm still in the progress of creating the base of my Book of Shadows. Soon as I can find my worktable again, I hope to get everything put together. Love watching your videos. So inspiring. Creative Blessings!
Sounds like fun! Thanks so much for watching
thank you for sharing! you're book is very inspiring!
I plan on binding my own book, tea dying the page first, then filling it out and after theyre filled out then putting it in magazine style :D Your book is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! It's the ONLY one i've seen so far that i actually LOVE. full of information and yet beautiful. not fluff but actual information. omg!!!
I also have those stamps, not the same ones but different and i occasionally stain the paper with the colors too so it looks like i've aged the book more XD Our original family book was burned in a fire when we were kids and my mom passed before she could finish redoing the book. our original looks the way yours does. no fluff, just information :D
That sounds like an awesome project. I don’t put anything in my BiS that I already know unless it’s for context. But I’ve been doing this a long time, my oldest book was started 35years ago. Many books on here are by beginners because more advanced witches rarely share their books. Bonus of having tiny writing. 😁
@@RhomanysRealm to be fair, I myself was started (born) about 35yrs ago so I can't say the same XD
🤣
I LOVE YOUR BOOK OF SHADOWS!!! but im sure you have another one now 5 years later! :)
I do, In fact I showed it in today’s video :)
Love your book and also the stamp.
Thanks. I'm enjoying working in it.
The "Steam stain" from your dinner plate gives it a wonderful Character! Plan your dinner before it. Try a "Tacos de Mariscos!" Scent! Let it remind you of a Wonderful Feast! Its YOURS!
Haha! I love it.
New Subscriber from the USA, LOVED this video! Can't wait to watch more!!
Welcome :) Glad you enjoyed it.
They make minis of those tim holtz distress inks, in case someone wants them just for this that should do. The ranger/tim holtz stuff can be so pricey 😒 I have some items but no distress inks. Derp. Looking back I would have gotten those instead of those crayons I never use. Pretty colors though
To be able to use watercolour on your pages you can use gesso first, that will stop the bleeding, hope this helps x
Yes, thanks you. I don’t like using gesso with watercolour though. I’m not a huge fan of gesso at all tbh.
I get fuzzy on the second half of the year too! XD
I LOVE your hand righting it's so tiny,net,and cutie
I subscribe because of how you said i love it
Thank you 🙂
very nice craft
I'm currently working on a book of shadows
Amanda Rizzo me to
Ur voice is so sweet lol omg it's so cute
Simple yet beautiful. You've inspired me :o) Going to look at your other videos ;o)
This is a beautiful book! Well done, I wish I could write in straight lines so I could make one with blank pages but hey until then I'll adhere to a "draft" one. I know this is not too relevant but I'm wondering where do you get your rings? They're amazing!
Clever stamping!
Thanks :)
very helpful
Thank you so much for mentioning the norse rede of honor. I just bought some norse books as I am trying to connect with it and find myself and this is just perfect. After reading it I've found it to be 100% what I feel. I am not yet at a point where I'm reading the havamal, I'm building up to it though. I may have stumbled across it at one point eventually but you've certainly saved me time and brought me straight to it.
Edit: ugh. Sadly I can't find a german version of this rede, all I could find was the version as taken from Ed Fitch's "The Rites of Odin". I had hoped that book would have been published in german as well, I'll be doing some more digging but I may just sit down and translate it myself. I'm still torn on whether to write my book of shadows in english or german, or possibly a mix. Part of me wants to write it in german, the bigger part really, because even though I am legitimately american and german, I was born and raised in Germany and spent most of my life there; it's home to me and I will never identify with the US as much as I do with Germany.
Guess I have a translation sesh in the making. If for some odd reason anybody knows of a translation already floating around, I'd love to know, it would save me a lot of time 😊
Awesome. I wish we’d had access to all this when I was starting out. I had to order books from the British Library (yeah, the big one!) to find out about stuff.
@@RhomanysRealm ooh i just edited my comment haha
@@RhomanysRealm but yes, thank you, this has really been a major shortcut and who knows, if it weren't for you I may have never found it! Thanks. It's really perfect. So much of this rede are things I've said before, not verbatim of course but in meaning and I whole-heartedly feel they should all be adhered to
I love it.
Thanks for watching
Thank you
Enjoy your vdo
Love it!!!
Thank you!
loved so much the bos !!! can you make one like that and sale it to me or tell me where did u buy this?? thankss
You have beautiful handwriting.
Haha! I don’t get told that very often, thanks
What are the measurements for the pentagram book? I can't find one that size! I'd hate to buy one and then realise it's a tiny one... thanks! x
Looks to me like it is definitely larger than 5x7 (mine is 5x7 and hers looks larger, unless she has the tiniest hands ever 😆) I would pin it at around A4 size
It’s composition book size/B5
your book is amazing. I can't write straight so all my pages are lop sided
Oxus Niao Try putting a writing guide underneath, that may help. Unless your paper is uber thick like mine.
It is... Recycled
I generally prefer writing on a different piece of paper and then burning the edges
Why carve out the rubber stamp bits when you can just cover up, with paper, the bits you don't want to ink down, or just don't add ink to the bit that you don't want to print/ stamp.
What were the madam... Things called? They looked cool and like something I'd like to use for my BOS but I'm not sure how to spell the name so can't find them to have a better look
Sounds weird but try mayonnaise to remove the stain on the table
Interesting. If I remember which table I’ll try it 🤣
I'm curious to read a Terry Pratchett book, and whatever story/stories that take place in "DISCWORLD"... Would you be so kind as to suggest a book, or first book to check out/order, as there are so MANY books available, and I don't know where to start!.. Thanks! ~tina
Actually if you look on Wikipedia for Discworld there's an ordered list under 'bibliography'.
+RhomanysRealm Mam? Where did you happen to find the book?
For the blank spot after the Norse Read. What if you did the Knot for the moon. Its simple yet pretty.
I was thinking along those lines. I thought I might use the Valknut actually.
That's pretty with all the interlocking triangles.
Hello, I just found you and subbed. It's funny how things happen when they are suppose too! I love your channel and accent (mum was from Scotland) Your book is fab. Will be watch all your other vids. One question...being a neophyte, why isn't there 12 signs....where's pisces on your chart?
There's only 8 Sabbats and 12 Zodiac signs. So I don't bother putting ones in that would normally fall in the middle of a section.
thats cool i am a wizard
can I take my book of shadows with me where ever I go? some people say that you shouldn't do that because of all the bad energy it can attract, is that true?
That depends. Do you believe it's true? I don't. Other people do. It's your choice. You need to explore and research the subject for yourself and decide what's right for you. If you feel being with you is protection enough, that's fine. If it makes you feel better you could add a protection herb, charm, crystal whatever. The biggest issue really is whether you think it's worth the risk of losing it. If not, perhaps have one you keep at home and another, more portable one for out and about.
Hello, Thanks! can you please give us the link to the book which you have bought?
I’m sorry, I don’t have one, it was a gift.
@@RhomanysRealm Thank you! Oh, a really nice one!! :)
Hey there, this video was a great help! I'm a teenager and I am in the stage of becoming a pagan do you have any tips on money saving tips for my total supplies? Love the channel thanks for posting!
Yes. Get yourself out in nature and find what you need, or buy things cheap for repurposing! Supermarket dried herbs in pretty jam jars are far cheaper than buying in new age shops. Get a decent size sketchbook for you book of shadows, or alter an old book or learn to coffee/tea dye paper for a vintage aesthetic and bind your own . Research how to forage a stick to make a wand - or if you’re arty you could use an old paintbrush. book of shadows. Get creative! Highly recommend @veda Corvus, @alwyn oak and @crafting witch for DIYs and @Kelly-Ann Maddox & @Molly Roberts for creative research ideas and overviews of new subjects.
They’re all in Instagram & YT. If you’re on TikTok check out Awitchofsouthernlight who does easy budget friendly stuff for beginners. No amount of witchy looking stuff makes you a witch.
Being a witch, makes you a witch. 💚
Where did you get your book of shadows please it looks amazing.
Which one, hon? I have quite a few. I buy most of my notebooks on eBay though.
I was wondering where you got that black leather journal? I have been looking online, but haven't found any like it yet. It is so pretty!
It's not worth it, the paper is rubbish. I've moved into a different one. they're all linked in my astore though at rhomany.org.uk
Aww, that stinks. Thank you for letting me know, I wouldn't want to buy something that's not worth it.
+Rachel McCoskey the new ones are linked too. if you check out my newer ww videos you can see it in action
Rachel McCoskey I would check out amazon I just found an amazing one that's leather, has Celtic symbols and the tree of life with a gorgeous latch for only $25 with free next day shipping with amazon prime and if you don't have prime you can sign up for the free month and order it then :) blessed be!
Greetings!..hello...Thanks for sharing Witchy Wednesdays....Luv how your wheel came out, I have a question for u, how do u know/ remember what..or shouls I say what corresponds with what..Do u have to look things up, or do u remember by heart?.........Thank u..Christine
Christine Cullen I have to write things down. that's why I have a Book of Shadows.
i need to say i hate the difference between north and south hemisphere lol mostly because the people i follow and, literally, learn from.. are from the north. and i live in Argentina. so... ugh. but all good here. love your style, btw
Yes, it’s hard. I find it difficult to switch. But apart from which sabbat is happening, everything else is the same. Just not necessarily what’s in season for you.
RhomanyRealm, Is it ok fr me to buy a book of shadows?
I don't have the patience for making a BOS
The rule is - do whatever works for YOU 🖤
What is a "work book of shadows", I've heard of it and I don't know what it is.
Michael Austin For me, it's a place I can jot down ideas, stick in things to read later, just generally collect stuff that I want to work on or look at. These things may or may not make it into my 'official' book of shadows later. My book of shadows stays on or near my altar and I use it to record things I want to keep. My workbook of shadows is just a notebook style one that I can throw anything in. A rough book, if you like.
RhomanysRealm Thanks Really helpful.
love the channel. may I ask where you bought your book its so hard to find them here in ireland
Michael Doyle Thank you, hoping to get some more videos soon. Mine was a gift, but there is a girl on Ebay who sells them for very reasonable prices. www.ebay.co.uk/usr/every-witch-way?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
RhomanysRealm thanks not that i am trying to be like you or anything, its just i loove that style i was on amazon and bought one but love the tips thanks again
blessed be
I love your BOS, how many pages are in it and where can I buy one like it please? TFS
Sorry I can’t tell which video this is on. What does the book look like, I’ll be able to tell you :)
@@RhomanysRealm It's the one you are using in this video, I've seen a few they only have about 100 pages, your's looks thicker? :)
What about Pisces
Rho--what are you going to fix the pastel pencil with so it doesn't mark the opposite page?
Nothing. If it marks the opposite page it marks, I don't mind. But it's usually fixed enough once it's rubbed in like that. It's only if you draw with it 'beat' and unblended you really need to fix it. If I do feel it needs fixing I'll just use unscented cheap hairspray like I normally do.
Call Mrs Picky but they are pronounced, Imm bolk, Soow wain.
Ive looked on amazon and ebay cant seem to find the correct book how can i get it n i cant get on ur amazon page
I spoke to you on Instagram I believe. Hope you managed to source something now
Ive been wanting to get a real book of shadows but im scared my mother is going to get mad at me
A real book of shadows is built over time. Until I left home at 18 mine was a regular A4 sketchbook - and my family knew I practiced. Focus on study for now, just like you’d learn anything else. Somewhere to make notes and jot down spells is really all you need. The rest is just aesthetics
I actually have that black leather book with the red velvet inside. It is a lovely book but it is a bitch for using a quill.
Rothiir Magus Yeah, I'm gutted my quill and ink doesn't work on it, but it works well with gel pen.
RhomanysRealm Yeah all of my pens work with it too. It is thick handmade paper so when I use my quill on it it catches on it and suckes most of the ink out. It is a really nice book though, I am just perplexed as to what to fill it with as I hate just putting anything into them. I prefer to have one book dedicated to one topic so when I need to look for it I can just pick p the right book and there it is.
Where did you get your book of shadows from @RhomanysRealm
eBay originally but you can get them on amazon these days.look for ‘thick journal’ or ‘bible journal’ and you’ll find them. They’re also linked in my amazon shop in the description
I dont have enough money i dont think how sad .... wish i got sent one ur book is beautiful btw
Virgo seems to be in the wrong place. Virgo is August- September
As explained elsewhere, these are not chronological correspondences. They are my own, according to my birthchart.
RhomanysRealm ah gotcha!
Do you still use this?
I ended up hating the paper and rebound it, but I filled it up ages ago.
Cool ★
Thanks for watching
RhomanysRealm welcome! !
what is a book of shadows
A guide / companion for Witches. Everything (mostly) you need to know about Wicca.
Are you part of wicca?
cherylynn927 No, I'm not Wiccan, I'm a solitary.
I make Black Books in the 1300's and 1400's and had Your new book been finished off right your Hot Damp table would have never made a mark of your book let alone leave a mark on your table.....and Shoe wax (black foe a black book) that you can't find will take care of this,,,,sad realy, that you got a new book and they never finished it for you.......
I did wonder if regular shoe wax would help. It os a shame, it's such a lovely book, just need sealing. Thanks for the help, appreciate that.
It's pronouced "Sow-in" - I hope someone helped you with it in the last 8 years, LoL. Brightest of Blessings!
There are various different pronunciations depending on where you originate from. My Gaelic speaking grandmother taught me ‘sav-en’ and I’ll be sticking with it.
please, for the sake of us germaphobes, CLEAN YOUR NAILS!!!!
It's paint. deal with it.
+RhomanysRealm - When I paint my nails get like that too.
