- I got tired of having to rummage through several sources for my personal reference material so I have started a grimoire. It is a work in progress and there are already some mistakes, but its only for me so it's okay.

When I make the heirloom grimoire to pass down to my daughter, i want to hand make it and have printouts like this! Its so aesthetically pleasing!
Thank you! I think that is such a beautiful idea, your daughter is a lucky girl. 💜
Mine is handwritten with dried plants and other little meaningful things in my book. Don't forget future generations like to see your handwriting, little scraps from your life.💙
Great book. We live in a world of convenience and frankly, printing up pages is totally on par. If something ever spills on pages or if you loose your book, all is not lost. We have so much more than those of centuries past. Thank you for sharing.
We've all been working on our BOS since the first note we took about witchcraft
I love that!
I am still in the many different journals and notebooks stage. LOL Yours is just lovely.
Don’t mind me casually taking notes
😆💜
I have a 5 ruled note book that I write all my learnings and notes in. I then move that information into a large dotted journal which is not structured but very neat for reference. I then move that into my fancy Grimoire which is all personal inspiration and notes for my everyday practice.
That sounds lovely. So organized. My grimoire goes through stages as well. I find it far easier that way.
So do I !!!
I'm still watching but I just had to comment that I'm so happy to hear someone say not all the Sabbats resonate!
I wouldn't say they sent resonate for me but I definitely find there's probably at least 3 that I don't do very much for/with.
I’m so glad to here from you! I hope you’re doing well.
She who walks between the Worlds I am! Thank you for asking. I've been super busy, summer season is very external based in our lives. Although I'm still busy I can feel the winding down energy from the future already calling.
Excellent work - there is magic here.
💜
So beautifully done!! A true work of art that will be with you forever. Thanknyou for sharing x
Thank you! 💜
Wow I just found this and your work is amazing along with your knowledge. I’ve just started to sort my knowledge and nearly ready to put mine together
Thank you sweetness! 💜
Absolutely love your book! So much detailed information and so well organized. Thank you for sharing 💖
Thank you so much! 💜
Beautifully done! The perfect modern day Grimoire!! xoxo
I just wanted to drop in and say hello I am new to your channel love watching your videos love your Grimoire you have done a wonderful job with it blessed be
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me!
And thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know you are there. 💜
Thank you for sharing! I adore looking at others books on here from time to time:) I think you Americans do things very differently, which is always a treat to see. I hope you find the time to enjoy your craft and it nourish you 💚
Thank you! 💜
Just came across this. Dru, I think it is wonderful that both you and your hubby practice and you both are on different paths but so supportive of each other. This goes to show that each practice is personal.
💜
I’m absolutely in love with your grimoire!
Thank you!
I love, love your grimore. Beautiful. I'm a new subscriber and I am loving your videos. I wish I had found you sooner.
Thank you so much!
Better late than never. 😉
I luv your grimier! It’s beautiful!!!
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a labor of love.
Exquisite. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your video. I have held off for so many years putting my grimoire together and have all my information much like you did. What stopped me was ...what if I forgot some information and wanted to add it later? With the large grimoire I’d already purchased, it’s bound so I cannot add pages. If I section the book then still fall short I’ll end up with two volumes, and I don’t want that either. Not when I’m still working on one! 🤔 Hence, I never started because I just couldn’t find the right fit. But yours seems to solves all of that! I can collage all of my information, all of my spell work, and continue to add as necessary. I’ll also feel much more connected to it as I made it. And I have a feeling if I had’ve started one already, I’d want to begin again after seeing this video 😂
That’s wonderful! I’m so happy to have been of assistance and I know your book will turn out beautifully.
By the way I think that the imperfections are what makes the things we make beautiful as they are completely unique to us! 💜
She who walks between the Worlds ...You’re right...one thing I must let go of is the need for it to look perfect - I don’t want a “perfect” book...I want MY book to reflect ME. I’m certainly not perfect. So I need to let that need for each page to look exactly right. I’m quite sure once I begin it’s going to flow nicely now that I have a good base and vision. Now I’m truly excited.
Simply amazing and very unique!!
What a beautiful grimoire. So glad to have found your channel.
This is a beautiful grimoire. When you said that you were making pages for your husband, I thought it would be time-consuming, handmade sheets but computer prints like this makes it very easy. These are lovely layouts. Thank you for sharing.
It can still be very time consuming compiling all the information and then typing it all up and creating a layout with the images, but it’s totally worth it!
I could really do with all your notes from that grimoire. You literally have all the facts!
Edit: Will have to save this video, come back, take notes and start researching :)
Thank you. If you have any questions I’d be happy to try to help.
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds Thank you :) I may do at some point.
Love this Grimoire. It is so neat and in order.. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! 💜
This is so wonderfully organized so pleasing to my soul💕 blessed be sister
That’s so sweet! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. 💜
This so inspires me! I'm not really a fan of my own handwriting and I don't have an interest in drawing so this is a lovely way to make a beautiful grimoire without getting hung up on having to do pen to paper. I also often like to add or rearrange so I was worried about committing to writing it all down. Thank you for this!
You’re welcome! Good luck with your book, I’m excited for you! 💜
Gorgeous book! Thank you for sharing it ❤️
wow, this is so great. I am making one for my daughter. I'm keeping it mostly blank so she can make it her own but want to make it beautiful with some references for her to start. This is great!
That is such a lovely gift! Good luck, I’m sure she’ll love it. 💜
Very informative! One or two things here I've never heard of before which is great. Never stop learning :) xx
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. 💜
You literally have EVERYTHING in there. Amazing 👏
💜
Your book looks amazing!!! I love how organised it is!
Thank you so much!
Wow oh wow! Your grimoire is BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you so much. It takes a bit of forethought, but it’s totally worth it.
bc of my visual impairment, i have to have extremely large print or digital versions of what i do sadly and large print takes a up a lot of space with little content so if i did this the book would have a broken binding or i would have to make many. also i cant really reading black on white so i would have to figure out how to print on black paper with white ink >.
Buy a folder, print in large print on A4 and just use that, the same way as this book. You will have more space than you need :)
You can fold pages to create pop ups, so one page can spand to embrace your larger fonts. However, BOS can be no text, images only. You can also, on this day of age, go creative with collage, textures etc, record an audio entry, upload somewhere safe and glue an qrcode on the page. Let your BOS go wild and run with it
Beautiful! Love your grimoire.
Thanks! 💜
I love how you have the text in the elemental colors. I love this, it's beautiful.
Thank you!
I love the aged pages!
Thank you!
Hello from New Zealand....... I have just found you 😁. I use the computer also for my book of shadows, I can write but with typing I’m quicker and if I make a mistake of course I can erase it. I use a natural ring binder which I will cover, stencil, decorate. The paper is from the stationers which is a heavier grade, not too thick so I can print it out, and is a vintage sepia colour. For me, it means I can add or take out as I evolve on my spiritual path. A book of shadows/Grimiore is very personal. Do what makes you happy your style, it’s yours. Thank you for sharing 💜 your video. 💜⭐️ 🔮....🍒
Thank you so much!
I agree doing my grimoire this way leaves room for quick and easy Chan without damaging my book.
Your BOS sounds lovely.
I have been spending a couple of weeks of looking at various different grimoires and such to get ideas and some inspiration. There are lots of really stunning and beautiful books out there but not practical for what I need. I don't want art work, I want something I can use and yet still look nice. I have been working for a couple of months now with publisher on making my pages and figuring out how I want to organize stuff. I haven't yet printed stuff out yet because I am still changing and tweaking stuff. But, I wanted to let you know how thrilled I was to see your grimoire. You are pretty much bang on for what I am wanting and how my book is progressing along. Thank you so much for sharing this video of yours. You book is stunning and very use-able. :)
Thank you! I agree, what’s most important to me is that is functional and that I can use it for the rest of my life. But of course that doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice esthetics. Functional can be beautiful! 💜
Honestly, if you plan to make it an heirloom grimoire, printing it out is definitely a better idea, cause it's just way easier to decipher. Like, even if you have nice handwriting, sometimes it's just difficult to read handwriting.
I will definitely make my grimoire inspired by this idea!!! I love how yours looks!!!
Aww, thanks so much! I agree, using a computer makes a grimoire much more accessible to others.
Good luck with your book and thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! 💜
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds I just got into witchcraft so i don't have that much research done yet anyways so I thought it would be a good idea to start digitalizing a lot of it as soon as possible to avoid having just a whole load of work later on!
I still have a physical notebook where I take notes and draw out different stuff sometimes, but since I am still mostly getting information from online, doing it digitally is just easier sometimes XD
That’s so exciting! Have fun as you navigate all the many, many witchy tunnels and avenues! It really will be so much easier to have everything in one place as you collect all the info that is important or interesting to you.
Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Ohhhhh soooo pretty!😍
You've done such a great job, very inspiring!
Beautiful job! Very similar to mine. I love the way you did this!
Thank you
this was Awesome.....absolutely beautiful! full of info/wisdom! thank you for sharing :)
It’s a labor of love! 😆 Thank you for checking it out.
Omg love that cover! Is nice how all the pages look aged.
Thank you. 💜
I love your grimoire
Thank you!
I love this, I like the fact that you can rearrange pages and, being someone with poor handwriting, that it will remain legible 🙂
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I’m not gonna lie, it can be quite time consuming, but it is totally worth it! You will definitely get at least what you put into it back out of it. In my mind it has and will continue to give me so much more than what I’ve put into it. And as you said I’ll never need to worry about legibility or practicality. 💜
You should release this as an ebook, I'd buy it!
💜
EVERYTHING i wanna know is in this book! 🥰😬😓
I just started my first grimoire last night. Large and leather pelt.
All I have is a blessing of protection I took from the bible, and an ink drawing of Hecate, the goddess that has always been there to inspire me on opposite the verse. I'm so glad I can now freely express my love with God and the inner workings of the beautiful, magical universe he created into words and pictures.
Good luck working on your grimoire. I’m sure it will turn out beautifully.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you for sharing this
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! 💜
It’s beautiful and functional! I love it!
I love The Morrigan.
Thanks for explaining
Thank you for watching!
Such a great bos! Great content!
But the Binding would drive me nuts🙈
💜 Thank you! 💜
I'm slowly finding ways to make my grimoire and I love the suggestion to just do it all on the computer (I have wrist issues and would never be able to write as much information as I need), I'm just wondering, how did you decorate the front of your binder? is it a regular binder or specially made?
I made it myself from scratch. I believe I put the link showing how to do so under the video, but you could probably use a regular 3 ring binder and just glue some faux leather to the cover. The sigil is polymer.
Its awesome! Mine on the other hand....has 1 page filled out and thats it...I never picked it up again...I just feel like I never have time :(
I really need to get back on it
Oh my goodness I love it!! I want one so bad!! And I also want to create my own but i don’t have the funds ugh and I have so much time on my hands
Maybe collect bits and pieces for your book over time. Also hunt around for bargains with all that free time! 😉
It’s really fun and special doing it for yourself from scratch. 💜
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thanks for sharing your Book is amazing
Woah ok, so this is like the best video I've seen all day. If you don't see this that's fine cause I know I am commenting so late but I absolutely love this video so much I just had to ask this question. Where do you go to find all this information about each thing in the book. For example, the elements, where do you go to find information like air and water, and anything else in your grimoire because sometimes I want to write something in my book of shadows yet I don't know where to go to find information about it if you know what I mean :) thanks
Thank you so much for checking out my video and taking the time to comment.
Most of the information in my grimoire was accumulated over many years, I had it tucked away in binders. I honestly wouldn’t be able to say where all the info came from, but Grimoire for the Green Witch by Ann Moura is probably my most referenced book. (Also don’t forget the internet is a wonderful resource for information.)
I love your book, mine, on the other hand, needs help lol.
I love your Grimoire. Do you remember where you found that Wheel of the Year? I haven't seen this version and I love this one.
I plucked most of my images off of Google images. It can take quite a while to find just the right image, but it’s totally worth it.
Is it weird lol I really want a copy of this, you should sell one on etsy so I can buy it , I've just started my journey and this looks like a goldmine of knowledge! And trying to pause and read is not working out at all lol
Same! I love this so much
Love it
Thank you!💜
Can I ask where you got your moon rings the oval ones, their very elegant and soft peaceful looking?
I got all the rings I’m wearing in this video at local witchy/metaphysical shops except my pentacle ring, I got that on Amazon.
The labradorite and moonstone rings came from The Peddler and the Crow in Jacksonville NC and the rhodochrosite ring came from Compass Rose formally of Emerald Isle NC.
Very lovely 💕
counterspelled. Love IAM
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has various pieces of information in several notebooks and binders.
I really enjoyed this flip through. Especially the reference pages for magical ingredients. I'm starting to pull things together for my own list, but I'm feeling a little stuck. Any pointers?
I can only tell you what worked for me. I sat and thought of what was most important to me and in my practice. For example candle magic...so what does that consist of? I work with the colors correspondences and also oils and herbs. So clearly these three areas are significant.
Consider what you’re drawn to even if it isn’t witchy per se.
with herbs/trees/flowers etc. I only noted what specifically I work with. Your personal book isn’t for publishing after all, all you need is what resonates and matters to you.
It’s soooo pretty
Thanks! Google images makes it easy. 😁
I really like your grimoire 🥰🖤 you should make a tik tok account for witchcraft purposes.
Hi there, do you have a digital copy of the amazing information you have collected on your Book?
Unfortunately not anymore.
I lvoe it, its stunning. In what app did you made pages? Cuz they are printed. I also wanted to make printed pages but idk where i should make digitally pages. Pls help and answer!!!!
I actually don’t use an app. I used Microsoft Word and just copy and past images from Google. I don’t have to worry about copyright since it’s just for me. It does take time and planning to create each page, but it’s totally worth it as it’s beautiful and completely one of a kind.
Thanks so much for watching! 💜
Love it all
Thank you so much! 💜
Worked on mine all day today composing one half of a Rhyme riddle Spell having platinum 78. It takes me about 3 months taking notes from watching CZcams for a combined conceptus though only about 1 day to pencil one drawing and then that takes 1 entire month in coloring by windows the jest of my new Grimorie are all Metaphysical illustrations - I have a long way to go with developing new copy to go with the pictures that is a condensed version of overlapping topics.
It works just as good if its printed ^^
Agreed! 🌻
Certainly. A grimoire is basically just a reference book and a collection of information. The book itself is just leather, paper and words. The magic is tied very much to how the individual uses the information.
How the information is stored and presented is entirely up to the individual.
divine!
💜
I love your rings. I can’t find rings with big stones. Any chance you could tell me where you got the rings on your left hand??
Unfortunately I bought them locally so I don’t think I can help you out, but...every large stone ring I own was purchased at witchy metaphysical shops so I’d say that’s your best bet. Anytime you’re going to go out of town (even just 45 mins away) check if there are any shops in the area you’re visiting and keep your eye out for hidden gems.
Good luck and happy hunting!
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds well thanks. I’m thinking about learning to make rings myself. That’s usually how I get what I want is by making it myself, lol. Like you did with your Grimoire which I loved by the way.
If at all possible what programs do you use to create your pages, and how do you find the images you use for them?
I just create my pages in a Microsoft Word document. I find the art in google images. It’s a long sometimes tedious process, but I totally feel it’s worth it in the end.
Which size binding screws did you use for your book and where did you get them? I may look into making a book with screws one day, of course I didn't think of that option until after I bought an expensive (imo, I'm very frugal) really nice leather journal. Ugh
Looking at the box it says 32x2. They are definitely 2 inches long. (The binding screws) I ordered them on Amazon.
Thanks for watching! 💜
Really beautiful job. I have come to the same conclusion as you and plan on doing everything on the computer. I have been looking and looking for images and symbols I can paste onto pages though. How did you find yours?
I just searched google images. So for example if I wanted a tree I’d search tree, but maybe add color illustrations or water color or pencil sketch depending on what look I was going for. I’m not gonna lie it’s an investment of time, but it’s totally worth it. Good luck with your book!
Amazing! I'm currently working on making my own, and I was wondering where you get your information? Especially for correspondances, I find that every website says something different :/
It’s true you can find various correspondences when looking at multiple sources. I have a few sources
I trust to use as a starting point, but it ultimately comes down to finding what rings true for me.
It depends on what correspondences we’re talking about. For herbs it’s mainly Scott Cunningham and Ann Moura though I do also like John Michael Greer’s Encyclopedia of Natural Magic. For crystals I look outside the witchy community, mostly to The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian, nut I also like all of the little crystal bibles by Judy Hall.
Many of my other correspondences have come to me from other witches as well. I was fortunate to “grow up” (as a witch baby) while working in a witchy/metaphysical shop so I was exposed to a wealth of first hand knowledge.
I highly recommend Grimoire for the Green Witch by Ann Moura if you’ve never looked through it. It’s a wealth of great witchy information.
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds thank you so much! Are there any online resources that are good?
I can’t personally recommend any, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any I just don’t normally use them.
Another suggestion when it comes to correspondences...
I often figure them out on my own when I can’t find any. For example I work with cherry blossoms (from Japanese cherry blossom trees). Even on line I couldn’t find any magical uses so I looked into the mythology and symbolism associated with the trees to figure out how they could be used in magic. The same goes for bird feathers and many other things I use in my practice. You can also look into what you want to use is made of. That’s how I figured out how to incorporate terra cotta into my practice.
I just love the pages and the more tea stained look. Where could I get prints of these?
The pages themselves are just aged parchment printer paper I ordered on Amazon. I designed the layouts myself just using google images. It’s time consuming, but totally worth it as you end up with a one of a kind completely personalized book!
She who walks between the Worlds Wow that’s really great! You are very talented 😊
God I wish I was this organised lol
😂
Have you considered selling your grimoire pages on your Etsy shop? I would gladly buy it to have as a reference... It's incredibly well constructed.
Thank you so much. I haven’t given it much thought, but I have had some interest so maybe I should. 💜
Looks amazing. Can I please ask what paper you use?
I order it online, probably Amazon. It’s just printer paper that looks tea stained.
Thank you so much for watching!
So, the link for creating the Grimoire says video unavailable and set to private. Consider doing a tutorial of how you made it?
Oh no, I’m sorry that the original tutorial isn’t up. Unfortunately I’m not making content at this time, but it isn’t really difficult to make. I used faux leather, chip board and book binding screws. I’m sure there are other tutorials for book binding or junk journals that would be helpful. Good luck!
See i wanted a large leather ring binder so that i can transfer my papers from the binder to my real official book...but o could not find one...so i bought a large leather sketch book and i love it but i cant transfer my pages...some are long cause their all printouts but all info i need...my sket h book 4oo and if i have to transfer all info by hand then i dont know when ill ever finish
It’s so difficult to find a binder that fits the aesthetic. I hope you can find a happy medium.
I want this too! I found some on Etsy but they're very expensive. I'm going to save up though, I can't think of anything I'd like better.
Cool....
How did you celebrate the blue moon?
Just a curious question from like 3 years after this was posted
I don’t recall exactly what I did for the blue moon three years ago because I was actually more focused on the fact that there was no full moon in February that year leading into the March full moon and blue moon. I spent all of February that year doing shadow work as I felt a “moonless” month would be perfect for that.
We actually just had a blue moon on Samhain this year, but unfortunately I had a cold and didn’t feel well at all so my hubby and I just wrapped ourselves in blankets and sat out under the moon for a bit. I hope you enjoyed Samhain and the blue moon! 💜
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
love your book its awesome , have you finished it all , or have you got more to put in it .
I have more to put in. I’ve added a bit since this video, but still have more that I know I want in. I feel like it will continue to grow with me throughout my practice though so maybe I’ll never really be done.
Thanks so much for watching. I’ll definitely do an update one day showing my progress.
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds oh that would be great , im always doing stuff in mine , like u said never gona be finished, as u are always learning and updating.
Very nice! What program did you use to design your pages? And where did you get the images? I love the tree on the earth page and the others on the element pages too.
I actually just do everything in Microsoft word and find the images through google. This way I have total control over the layout and look.
Do you tea stain the pages yourself?
Not the pages I use in my grimoire. I order aged parchment printer paper on Amazon.
Thanks for watching!
I've been looking for a book that is bound like this, to start a new grimoire. What is this binding called?
I’m not sure what the binding is called, but I used binding screws.
The tutorial I watched to make my grimoire is the first link in the description of my video. It’s really easy to understand and follow.
where did you find the poem by casey baikus- i was trying to find a reference on the internet and couldnt find anything
Many years ago now a witchy sister, who has since passed, sent it to me and I've just had it written down ever since. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Where did you get the moonstone ring your wearing in this video?
I got it at a local witchy shop The Peddler and the Crow. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful and thank you so much for watching!
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds I think I've found it, would it be in Jacksonville north carolina?
Yes, that’s right
I really want to work on my BoS, but I’m so busy with school. What should I do?
Firstly thank you so much for watching my video.
Having the time to work on our books is actually one of the more difficult things about the whole process so I totally get it. I think there are probably several ways to approach it. If it were me I’d work on laying the ground work first. Whenever I had some time to myself I’d think about what I wanted from my book, I’d assess my priorities and figure out a rough layout. (Like a table of contents of sorts) If I had any loose notes, info or images I’d gather them together and organize them. Once I had a concrete idea of how I wanted to proceed I’d take notes and gather the info I needed to make it happen. A faster way of doing so might be to save online content on a drive until you have time to edit it and tailor it to your craft and book. I collected info for my book for many years before I actually stared to work on it and I really think that’s okay especially if it is all in a place where you can reference it as needed in the meantime.
I think what’s most important is not to put too much pressure on yourself, having a book doesn’t make you a witch it simply a tool. Take your time with it so it turns out the way you want rather than forcing it and not being happy with the end product.
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds thanks for replying so fast, haha. I didn’t expect that. So thank you 🙂 Also, what you said about over time collecting info, I really resonate with and I’ve always done that. So, I’ll definitely take it into consideration. And yes it is just a tool, but I like having things to look back on and if I need to remember something I forgot. Again, thank you for answering!
Blessed Be! 😊
Totally...I have trouble remembering most things. It’s the main reason my grimoire is such a valuable resource. Good luck with your book. 🍀
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds thank you 😊✨
Why would you make his?
My husband works a full time job with no real set hours. We share a lot of the same interests and work with many of the same tools and correspondences. I am also more creative for the most part. It’s basically a gift to him that I work on his grimoire, he really appreciates it. We sit down periodically and discuss exactly what information he wants in it and how similar/different he wants his pages or layouts to be to mine. Honestly it’s kind of like having two grimoires as there is Information in his that I rarely need and vice versa, but we can just sneak a peek at each other’s book on the rare occasions we need to.
I thought a grimoire was evil
How did you mind all this information?
It took years. I used to keep print outs and sheets of hand written notes in three ring binders as I collected it. Eventually I decided to put it all together in a cohesive, beautiful way.
What type of paper is that?
Boy Dahlia I order printer paper that looks like aged parchment on Amazon. I can’t remember exactly what it’s called. I hope that helps. 💜
@@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds thank you! Beautiful book by the way
