Witch Craft: Book of Shadows Tour

- Wanted to share my very first book of shadows! It took me a long time to be willing to start, as it can be overwhelming. I'm happy with my growth in this book, and maybe it can help you to start yours!
#bookofshadows #BOS #witchcraft #practice #spells #witch
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful book!! I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. I heard how it choked up your voice, and it broke my mother's heart. Sending healing, joy and happiness your way...
Thank you 💖
I like the way you did your book of shadows. I like the break down and the art. Your explanation is great. I need to cleanse around here so I can get motivated. I felt overwhelmed. Now that I've watched this video it's helped simplify my approach. Thank you.
You're very kind, thank you so much! I know you can do it!
It's so nice to find another Canadian witch on CZcams!! Loved your video!
Thank you! It is nice to find other Canadians, isn't it? I'll be sure to check out your channel!
Wow I wish I had your book of shadows, I have rewatched 5 times and have not stopped being amazed! What an amazing video!
You are so kind! Thank you so much!
I love BOS show-and-tell, and this is one of the better ones. Thanks for sharing!
That is so kind! Thank you!
This is a great example that speaks to me. Usually all you find online are the printable ones and this is very personal.
REALLY grateful for this take - just subscribed. I am also not Wiccan, and while I find that practice intellectually interesting, I find it hard to find practice inspiration that isn’t based on Wicca. Folk magic is as old as time, so I’ve been looking for channels that come from more diverse/personalized foundations. Thank you!
I absolutely love your book. I love how it is all your own drawing & writing. (For the most part) Most I have seen are all pre-printed pieces of paper & have no personal touch, creativity or personality in them. Those are awful. Yours is very refreshing & has given me a bunch of ideas to use in mine. I think of it as a personal art project. (I’m also very thankful that you don’t have gaudy, ridiculously long fake finger nails. Hahah.) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! That's so kind!
Love this! I hear crickets lol thought I was losing my mind 😂😂😂
Hahah, fair! I have Crested geckos and they love their crickets. They're so loud ☺️
Me too! I have headphones on and was looking around my room.
@@boopdiva oooh noooo hahaha. I hardly hear them anymore. I might need to find a different place to record!
Nook just knowing they were real makes me much more comfy! Love the reptiles and only mind crickets when it is a single loud one in my echoey stair well. Ha ha!
Very nice. I enjoyed your tour. Simple, concise and you understood what you wrote, not just copied. I believe you'll go far. I've been practicing for over 20 yrs. (though I've known I was a witch since childhood) and you seem to believe in yourself and the Craft.
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!
This was very helpful! Just started my practice a few days ago and was not sure where to begin. Just showing what was in your BOS will give me guidance to things I can research and study. Thank you!
I'm so glad! It is really overwhelming in the beginning to figure out where to start.
I took so many screen captures! Thank you for sharing!
Oh you flatter me! I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!
Strongly appreciate your excellent tour, chock full of useful information!
Thank you!
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you!!
I loved your book of shadow, I was lost as to how I could start! I read a lot and I'm full of information, and because of that I didn't know what to do with everything...I was having a lot of difficulty transporting it to my 📖....your video came on Ostara day here in Roda Sul, the beginning of that I'm already planting Thank you very much....lots of positive vibes.... May the Gods continue to bless you!❤❤❤
If it helps with Scorpio, think of there being different kinds of water.
Pisces is a fish in slow-moving water. Might be ocean, might be lake, might be a pond.
Cancer is a crab on the beach. Sand being kept wet by waves.
Scorpion sits on a boulder, watching a river flowing past. Sometimes the river is slow and gentle and sometimes it's fast and dangerous.
Nicely put! My ex best friend was a Cancer/Aries (water/fire) and my sweetheart is a Scorpio/Aquarius (water/Air) and I am Aquarius/Taurus (air/earth)
Loved seeing your book of shadows. Really interesting to see what you included in it. ❤ Thanks for sharing
I love this style of note taking. This is a really good format to be able to easily reference things back later and it's going to be fantastic inspo for my grimoire. Thank you so much for sharing!
I love this!!!! So fun!!! I have a Book of Shadows myself and have gotten a lot of inspiration from watching your video!
That's so kind! Thank you!
This is my first video of yours that I have watched. I am very impressed with your work. Thank you! I have subscribed and will continue to watch and learn!
Thank you!! That means a lot!
I don't understand why you are sorry for using the word Smudge. It has been around for a long time. You are not infringing on anyone's property by using it. Your Book of Shadows is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Blessed be!
Thank you! I had written it down before learning that it's a specific practice of First Nations. I try hard not to step where I don't belong, but I do wonder if I'm almost too worried about it sometimes. Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Blessed be to you, as well 💖
@localartwitch many things are done my different kinds of people. eclectic witches take from many religions and cultures and nobody has a go.
One of the most helpful videos I have seen so far on keeping a magical journal. Thank you.
Aww, thank you for your kind comment! I appreciate it and glad it helped!
So cute ! I am in love with your book of shadow ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Loved this, I also loved the background sounds! ♥
Thank you! I always worry that the crickets are too loud!
Thank you for sharing. Your book is really lovely and personal. I love your little illustrations too.
Thank youuu!!
Ok I have made it to the candle part...making your own candles is so much fun if your new..I would suggest a canning jar or even saving a glass jelly jar and I used food can washed and not coated inside and heated the wax on the stove ot was so much fun and they were unique. Sorry back to video
I really like this! I'm such a visual person and usually retain information better when I write it down myself and use color. I'll definitely be taking a lot of ideas from this. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful!
Your book is so lovely and your drawings are so cool! ❤
Thank you!
I had a handmade wooden covered BOS that was accidentally left behind as It was supposed to be on my lap as I left town in a scared hurry ( long story of abuse) and my magickal tools were meant to be FIRST in the car so now I have to start over. Your BOS is an inspiration! ❤📖📒
Your first BOS sounds beautiful and while it's sad that it's gone, I'm relieved to hear that you made it out safely!
I'm a survivor myself- I know how scary it is to leave and you did it! That is incredibly brave. Perhaps having new tools will be healing- fresh tools for a fresh start. You can slowly acquire new tools- I've really been focusing on natural items I find. If I can do anything to help, let me know 💖
im only about 60 seconds in to your video and already I feel such warmth and love for you.
Thank you, that's so sweet!
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m stumped as someone new to this path. I am 60 and do not know anyone else who understands or can help me with many questions. You BOS is so inspiring! 10:50
That's so kind! Thank you! I'm glad it helps, it can be really overwhelming!
Thank you for sharing! I love your more minimalistic style. It gave me relief, honestly, as I'm starting mine I realized it doesn't have to be crammed for it to be useful, and your book is very useful. Blessed be ✨️
Thank you so much, I'm so glad it was able to help. I personally find it easier to understand information when it's more simple, especially if I have my book propped while I'm crafting a spell or cooking etc. I wanna be able to glance and get the info!
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot!! Blessed be 💖
@@localartwitch Yes very true, like a recipe book! I love your take on it, really great job. I'm really looking forward to watching more of your videos and I'm very grateful to have found your channel. Blessed be
While I am not a witch (or Wiccan), this was very helpful in my Druidic journey. Thank you for allowing us into your personal space.
Oh no, that's so nice! Thank you!
I love your art
Thank you for sharing this! I’m just beginning my journey and I have a beautiful handmade notebook I’ve been holding onto for over a decade, waiting for the time to come when I’d know what to do with it. I’ve recently realized this is its purpose, but I’ve been so afraid to start in case I messed up or put things in an order that didn’t make sense. But seeing yours makes me realize that it’s not just about the information. It’s about the intent and the journey - it’s not meant to be perfect, it’s just meant to be.
Yes, that's exactly it!! It's hard to get over that idea of perfection, but once you do, you'll learn so much!
It can be helpful to lightly put your work in pencil before inking!
@@localartwitch Update: I did it, I started it! 😊
@thraelen oooh I'd love to see updates if you're willing to share!
Beautiful book ❤❤
Thank you!
I’m a beginner. This is very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! It can be so daunting as a beginner!
This is so awesome! I always love when I find new witchy journal videos!! It's so nice to see more of it, that's why I joined CZcams, for the witchy Journaling. I am curious what part of Canada you're in. I'm in Toronto and usually by the end of March we're clear of snow but occasionally we do get surprised. I know my mom always has to start her plants inside.
I'm so sorry for the late reply, I thought I had! I'm in New Brunswick, so we aren't far from each other!
@@localartwitch nice!!!
Great grimoire! Lots ideas!
Thank you!
what a beautiful book!
Oh so nice!! Thank you!
I’m stealing your alter set up it seems easy and something i could easily deal with and hide away fairly easily
I've been trying to look at BOS videos to get inspiration for mine because I only have the phases of the moon and the color of the candles that's it so this helps me a lot
Beautiful and inspiring!
Thank you!
I wish I had seen this before I overcomplicated myself and then got journal paralysis. I just might go back and start again doing this with what I see first. Thankyou 🌻🌻
You got this!
Very interesting thank you
So inspiring! ✨✨✨🙌✨✨✨✨
Everybody has been so nice! Thank you so much for your comment 😊
This is very nice. I wish I would draw.
I love this book, i want a copy so bad
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love your book,
Thank you!
You book is beautifully done. I was always taught our own Book of Shadows is personal and to never share for it holds your personal spells and such. This however doesn’t look as personal. It looks more like a study guide of compiled info one would find anywhere when researching the topics. Which is very lovely also. You have added your personal artistic flare to it. Your handwriting is gorgeous and how you lay out each page is so nicely done. Very pleasing to look at and symmetrical. Have you ever thought of publishing it? I bet it would sell well. First video of yours I have seen. Merry meet.
That is so kind! I have thought about making pages for people and sell them as PDFs.
This book was very general; while I was working on it I didn't intend on sharing it, but once I was finished I thought it might help someone who was just beginning their journey.
Thanks again 💖
Ok finished the video and I love what you have done and I would love a video on astrology I am trying to do my birth chart so yes wonderful video😊
Thank you!
I love that I am not the only one that isn't interested in Wicca creeds!
Omg!!! The Catus!!!🐈
I'm sorry I'm late replying! I realized quickly that Wicca wasn't "for" me! I want to come up with my own creed, but it's hard to put into words. Thank you so much for your comments
This is my last attempt. I have written 5 replies already and end up making them disappear. Anyhoo, my creed (even before witch stuff) has been "the golden rule" It just makes sense and it is mentioned in some form all around the world. I am interested in what you come up with though.However, if you are busy or not dealing with it at this time don't worry about it. I did my first page 2 days ago and it is awful! Knowing I can't paint over it and try again makes me more willing to try though. Thanks again for sharing.
That should say CAN paint over
@@kerryevans3695 "do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" I like that one quite a bit! I'm struggling with how I feel about hexes and binding spells- generally I don't do them, but with the Josh Duggar case, I'm not sure 😅 maybe it's okay to hex those who do serious harm? I'd be interested in what you think!
i am starting with book shodows and before this video i didn't know what i write to i you help me so much ( excuseme i am from czech republic and i don't speak english very good ) Thank you❤️
Your English is fantastic! I'm so glad this helped, it can be intimidating to start!
Fellow Canadian here totally get your take on the wheel of the year. Spring starts on May 24 here if your lucky... o_O
Our spring is so late! The idea of looking for spring in February is hilarious 😂
@@localartwitch I know right? I just view the holiday as hope to winters end not spring... I find the wheel of the year doesn't line up well for us I think it's British lol
@@icefireobsidian7490 I do the same! Basically just celebrate that the days are getting longer- winter is so hard mentally (for me) 💖
Wisconsin here. We don't plant until Memorial Day!
ahhhhh it’s so organized! my book of shadows is all in 3 notebooks in one and the info is EVERYWHEREEEE
Thank you, that's so kind! I felt like it was disorganized, haha. I'd love to have something like an A4 binder one day so pages can be moved around
So cute funny you work with shadows and I work with light but I respect what u do
Oh thank you! I'm a big believer that we need expertise on various aspects of the spectrum. Thanks again for your kindness 💖
Very cool annotations. It is a journal basically to remember experiences you have, because down the road something takes place to link them both together. Then they would answer a question, or make better sense. You may cross an individual through the spiritual, get part of a message not clear, then one day do something that completes the mystery.
Archangel Michael
Likes Blank Book Arte.
Nice!
Thank you!
I am looking for inspiration for my journal, BOS and came across your video, I too, have a bullet journal that I'm trying to fill 😊, I love your pages, especially the one that is dedicated to your dad, where can I find the words and image, if you don't mind me asking? I am also trying to worship Hekate and love your astrology pages....thank you for sharing, I have subbed for more inspiration! 😊
I'm so sorry for the late reply, I didn't see it! I'll take a look to see where I got that from, as at the time I didn't write down my source. Thank you so much 💓
Hekate has been such a reassuring energy for me while I've been grieving. Astrology has been a study and an escape, but Hekate allows me to be in uncomfortable spaces. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment 💖
Using this for inspiration
Yay! Very glad it helped! Thank you so much for your comment!
He visto videos de Libros de las Sombras sobrecargados de ilustraciones y poco conocimiento el tuyo es muy bonito porque tiene conocimiento e ilustrado con dibujos a mano está muy hermoso
That's so kind! Thank you!
I really loved your layout can I use it as inspiration for my BOS?
Yes of course! Thank you so much!
How do you decide who deserves “not so nice” spells? What would someone choose for you?
Lindo seu grimorio irmã 🔮🍃
Também criei um
Thank you! Did you finish yours??
I once found some websites dat sold Palo Santo ethically if u're interested I'll try and find em again.
Thank you!! Palo is my very favorite 😍
Venus of Willendorf ?
Releasing things that don't serve you anymore
Isn't that done during the dark moon as well ?
Yes, absolutely! I prefer using the new moon for shedding and the full moon for manifestation/ goal planning. It really depends on your sources/ traditions!
Witch stands for What is The Change. Starting with a question, and ending with a question , this historical origin is true to the point and enduring as long as the existence of question marks the psyche of mankind.
would you mind if I took notes from your book to help create mine?
Oh please do! I'm glad you found it helpful!!
@@localartwitch thank you 💜
I am still waiting for a book of shadows that’s really dark and gritty and has dark. curses and spells lol
ooooh, I like this! I do some pretty morally grey witchcraft and was thinking about posting about it. Assembling it into a BOS would be a lot of fun!
What does Scorpio seem like to you & why? Just curious...
Oooh I love Scorpios! I find them secretive- emotionally intelligent but keeping their emotions closely guarded. The Scorpios I've known seem to have a distrust of being vulnerable with others. Scorpio is closely associated with the Moon card for me- that dark creature emerging from the pool of water. They hide for protection of their emotional selves.
I base these associations both from Scorpio moon signs I know and studying astrology
What is the difference between the BoS and a grimoire
A BOS is basically a diary of magic, meant to be very personal. A grimoire is similar, but not as personal. My book here is closer to a grimoire, as this was my magical research.
A BOS would ideally have notes on your personal workings and growth. Something with removable pages would have been amazing for me, as I could have moved things around. I hope that helps!
@@localartwitch Thank you I finally understand it now !!
Couldn't Scorpio be both a Earth & a Water sign ?
Another color for Libra is blue
( both sky & midnight )
I totally get what you're saying- scorpions are desert creatures, but for astrology, it is under the water element. Scorpios do hold things closer to themselves. You should look at sites like co-star and put in your birth info. Our birth chart is so much more complicated than just the one sign. You likely have a lot of Earth energy in your chart, particularly if you relate to it strongly.
Do No Harm, (biiiig asterisk)
Yes, you get it!!
Do no harm but take no shit!
@@ciera4935 yes I love this!!
I love it!
@@ciera4935 Mannun...
are you sharing copies of this?
I wasn't going to originally, but so many people have found it helpful that I'm now working on a tidier format for download. Hopefully it won't take forever!
@@localartwitch awesome id love one
I would struggle I’m not remotely artistic and dyslexic
Those are good points. I have been researching on various things to see if I can figure out ways to make all parts of witchcraft accessible. Do you find any fonts easier to read than others? I've seen that comic sans is supposed to be the best font for dyslexia
Just stumbled on your page! I’m an art witch too working on my channel. Would love to connect if interested! Xoxo
I would love to!
You do realize we cannot drink distilled water ?
Oh no, you're right! I mix up distilled with treated water. Thank you!
Ok I'm only a few moments into your video and you are talking about the wicca creed have you thought about the native american commandments it's more earthly ok sorry now on to the rest of the video
I'll definitely look into it! It'd fit better with my local practice too
You are very talented. And , I was so sorry to hear about your loss. It's very precious.... a mother and daughter's relationship. Your drawings OMG.... I can't believe in My Eyes. But, don't mind your handwriting is awful. Sorry if you mind it
If you're drawing inspo from Pinterest then you've already missed the point of magic entirely -_-
I do it quite differently nowadays. It's hard to know where to start and this helped at the time. We all start somewhere, right?
Thank you 💖
@@localartwitch what is the different way you do it i’m just starting out and the only information i know how to get is from pinterest or yt also why is it wrong to get it from pinterest
Witch craft? Seriously?
It's more common than you think.
❤❤❤❤Love❤the coloured ❤cover of this❤book shame there not teen or kids B,O,S ON youtube i only found one teen book its a shame though❤❤❤❤
Agreed! It's hard to find things for kids/ teens.
Thank you 💖
