I have to admit you are the most dedicated practitioner on TH-cam. The work alone you have put into your book shows your true character and lifestyle. Most practice for fun or because it's cool. But you live your craft. And that to me is the most awesome thing to see. I wish I had the time and patience to make a book as stunning. But I give you a lot of respect and bow in honor to your teachings.
This is what a grimoire should be. Not historically - because, of course they were just grammar books for magic instead of spelling and reading - but mythically, spiritually. A grimoire should be a guide that grows with you, a friend that holds your secrets, a guardian that destroys your enemies, a healer. A grimoire should be like a familiar in book form. That's really what everyone wants, and it's what popular culture has taught us a grimoire ought to be. You're the first person I've seen that's actually managed to make that a reality! Such an inspiration!
Actually I've been watching a LOT of grimoire videos lately and this is, indeed, the BEST grimoire video and the most beautiful I've seen so far... Thank you so much for sharing!!!
How are you a real person? lol I mean that in the most respectful, admiring way possible. I'm just... At a loss for words and can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that this was all done freehand. 😍🙌🏻
I’m astounded at how much beauty and effort is placed in these books. It feels like you have lived 10 lives in one life time to accumulate the breadth of knowledge conveyed here
Oh my goodness, this is beautiful! I've never seen a grimoire video like this and it so elegantly expresses the heart of magic in any tradition. I don't have any connection to Tao or really any eastern beliefs, but as you point out, there is a base spirituality that transcends whatever face we've put to it, so I will definitely put your book on my "to read" list! Thank you for creating these!
This is the most intelligent and well thought out Grimoire I have yet to come across on TH-cam. Your patience and dedication to documenting your path and knowledge goes above and beyond anything I have seen. This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
I really like that your book is not just a collection of internet-knowledge like many "Book of shadows" you see on YT are. You put alot of effort and personality in it.
I watched your video last night, and I was so inspired by your stunningly gorgeous and phenomenally artistic grimoire, I could hardly sleep. My heart was singing! I was at the bookstore when it opened this morning and immediately bought The Tao of Craft. I wish I could adequately express my gratitude for you sharing your beautiful, personal Book of Methods with us. It is truly Divine.
That... is the most beautiful grimoire I've ever seen; I can't get over how much painstaking work - the actual drawing and all the prep - you've put into it. I would buy a copy if you ever decided to publish, even just to look at it. (I have the same sketchbook!)
This is the most beautiful and well-planned book of methods/magick/grimoire/shadows I have ever seen! To be honest, because you did the book as what felt right for you, and because you took the time to decorate it, I can see your love and care in every page! This looks amazing and is refreshing to see a magical book on Eastern traditions.
WOW! Giiiirrrrllllll u crazy if u think ur book is a mess! It's beyond gorgeous I thought it was a printed book that's how gorgeous it is! Have u seen most Ppl's book of shadows holy shit it's supposed to be a sacred book and it looks like a beat up scrap book!!!! Ur book looks like the Mona Lisa compared to most Ppl's!! I thought mine was all nice and neat! Today u have proven me wrong it looks horrible compared to urs! WOW I'm absolutely floored!
Every time I come back to watch this video your comment never fail is to make me laugh, because its so true. So many people follow the BOS stereotype of having it look like they spilled coffee on it.
Oh my lord, what a tremendous amount of work. Please make sure the book will survive when you pass on. Donate it to an archive or some such. Don't let anyone burn it or shred it.
OMG! Your personal Grimoire! WHAT A MAGICAL ITEM. As soon as you said 开光, I went on amazon and purchased your Tao of Craft. I can't express how important this video means to me. It brings back so much childhood memories when my mom talked about these topics. (and of course, I ignored her. and now, i'm trying to relearn everything...) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏💕🙏💕
It is quite refreshing to watch a video on eastern esoteric & occult craft , usually it is quite nordic & middle-eastern centric.I practice a mostly dharmic & tantric path which is also eastern.I wish you plenty of positive, powerful & liberating moments in your path.
Courtney Lee haha I'm glad you like the fact I have a relationship with my book rather than find it creepy. I'm sure most people must think it odd. :-)
This is a very beautiful video. Until I found your video, I didn’t know what I was searching for. Thank you for enlightening me and opening my heart. I feel as though it’s humming with joy. Everything about you is an expression of beauty. ❤️❤️
That's my kind of book, this multi-dimensional Aquarian loves that randomness and no page numbers..it is so fantastic seeing a younger person (timeless soul) carrying forward a sacred torch like this!
The Tao of Craft is an amazing book. It was one of my first magical books and continues to be a good resource for me. Someday I want to take one of your classes. I also enjoy your TH-cam channel.
I am absolutely enthralled, and in awe, by the artwork of your book, by the information it embodies, literally everything omg, thank you so much for sharing this
Thank you for sharing this! Your Book of Methods is stunning and profoundly inspiring. I love how it is not only a reference for your practice but a tool as well. I was also fascinated by your invocation to awaken your Book of Methods and how you charge it through transferring energy from other objects. I am putting your book on my wishlist!
rewatching this video while officially owning a copy of the tao of craft (as of a few months now!!) makes me cherish your work more.~ 💜 especially with myself being 黒人ハーフ; there's a sense of home from the asian aspect. your book pairs well alongside my 密教、神道、呪術、and 陰陽道 collection.
This.... is THE most stunning grimoire I have ever seen and I am so envious of your drawing skills. Absolutely beautiful and inspires me to create one of my own.
Watching this video, I am the equivalent of the heart eyes emoji. So much respect for your dedication and conviction to your art and your faith. Beautifully done. So much soul.
In a way it makes more sense to Not have a table of contents, numbered pages, etc. as they creates distinctions and separates one thing from the other. As a 'living talisman' however, the cohesion, unity and disbursement of randomly placed entries makes it more nebulous and difficult to define, contributing to the book's personality in an unpredictable and exploitative way.
Wow! Not only your artistic design, but the practical / functional design of your Book is truly impressive. The Tao of Craft, it is exactly what I have been looking for. I'm incorporating elements of Onmyo to my existing system, specifically ofuda / fu talismans. It is rather difficult finding any information on Taoism, beyond the Tao Te Ching, in the Western world. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and making your knowledge available as a resource, it is greatly appreciated.
Thats the most amazing hand crafted book i have ever seen! You are truly amazing with all that you do. There must be six of you!! I have your book Holistic Tarot and love it!
I am probably awfully late but I just grabbed the Tao of Craft today and I'm super excited to dive into it. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom in your videos. They've been of great help to me. Your grimoire is absolutely enchanting!
WOW. This is the most inspiring video I've ever watched on creating grimoires/magickal books and I've watched many! So glad to have stumbled across your channel.
Your grimoire and this book really speak to me. It's never been part of my practices but I feel an attraction to your book, it looks like beautiful and interesting practices. Thank you for sharing knowledge with us and for sharing you're beautiful grimoire.
I'm currently reading your Tao of Craft book. I've finished the main part of the book, only the Appendixes left to go. It's the most impressive book that I've read in a long time. I'll definitely be putting it into practice. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Taoism or craft work.
This gives me such inspiration to continue writing my own grimoire in realizing that it, too, has its own life and energy, and I can pull from it when I feel a lack of my own. Bless you for having done this video - your artwork is flawless, your voice soothing, and this is by far one of the best grimoires I've ever seen. Many, many blessings and kudos to you!! x
You are amazing. I am envious of the vast amount of effort you have put into your grimoire and your practice in general. And your artwork is phenomenal.
Glad it might help trigger ideas for your own record-keeping and personal books! I love watching personal journal flip-throughs here on TH-cam so I wanted to share my own and add to that database. =)
That's truly fantastic work! What comes through most, for me, is your passion for it. I absolutely love what you've done. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Peace.
Your Book of Methods is truly a work of art! Thank you for sharing such a personal part of yourself. I hope to get your Tao of Craft at some point. It's on my wish list.
Would love to see a video on the book dedication you did, Just the little section you show peeked my interest i loved the wording and would love to see the full thing.
I have never seen this level of dedication from any of the sorcerers I've come in contact with. This is absolutely stunning and, because I'm human, I must admit that I am envious of your artistic abilities. It makes mine look very basic by comparison. I'm gonna need to pour over that book one day. It'll happen! :) Best wishes, and I'm looking forward to receiving your Tao of Craft book in the mail!
Your book is amazing and beautiful! You are very talented and artistic. You have both inspired and intimidated me! I do want to get the book you showed to help me with the making of my final grimoire! Thank you so much for sharing!
That is such a beautiful grimoire, thank you for showing us this. It is quite inspiring and unique definitely giving me ideas of what I want to add to mine!
This is so beautiful and interesting. I didn't come accross any asian Paths yet. Your book will go on my list of which books to buy. I want to learn more. Thank you so much for sharing. 🖤 I think, every witch dreams about this type of Grimoire, where everything is drawn by hand, but not many people have the patience to do that.
I was only just recently thinking about a Grimoire (because I bought a Midori journal) so you read my mind! I am also very slowly working through your Tarot book, it's so detailed I want to take my time!
I really need you to do a tutorial of grimoire. Honestly. I have started so many and grown disgusted. Or started a new train of thinking.... freakin gorgeous. Messed up, disorganized beautiful! Love it love it!!!
My gosh, you should publish your personal book of methods. I would buy it in a second!! It is so beautiful. Will you ever make it available? I think of Ram Dass's book 'Be Here Now' - that book changed my life, and I only read it because I was attracted to its illustrations and format. I had no idea how much it would change me. PLEASE publish this or make a digital copy we can buy and print ourselves!! Much love
I've been searching so many years for a source that can actually explain the path of sorcery and magic from the Taoist perspective and craft your book is amazing and Ill be putting it to use the following months, also your grimoire is a real piece of the craft if I may say so~ I would be very happy to see it some day published or at least something similar to it ;)
Cualli Tonalli (greetings). I too am writing a Teomoxtli / Grimoire / Journaling my journey upon the Tlalocan (realms of higher states of consciousness that my Nahua ancestors experienced prior to European colonization). I also was contacted by beings to share my journey so being naturally introverted, I opted to share it through my Teomoxtli. But as you say, truth much like science transcends percieved cultural boundaries & so as an indigenous person of Abya Yala (the "Americas") I know too well the way it feels to see pieces of your heritage fetishized / exotified but today my beloved Pixan Atan (spirit guide) took me by the hand & thus flipped to pages 267 - 270 from your book (which just came in by mail today btw) & on page 269 where you say that "the key to blending traditions is respect" well, that definitely resonated with me so I wanted to express gratitude for this is something of big step in my own path & I am encouraged by your work to continue my Teomoxtli & hope to communicate eloquently as you have my own people's teachings for the 7th generationa as many of our peoples have slowly succumbed to the assimilation process that was imposed upon us with the arrival of European colonization. Many thanks my relative & I look forward to learning more about Fu sigils from your wealth of gnosis 🙏🏽🌌
I love the Balance of your book! Balance in the craft is something that is very important to me! A lot of practitioners don't want anything to do with the darker parts of the craft. I'm not saying I go around hexing and cursing everyone I see but I feel that ignorance of something can be just as dangerous as the thing it self!!
Absolutely amazing.. I love your process! Making injuries During certain astrological correspondences sounds like a great idea to me and I'll definitely incorporate that into my practice
I have to admit you are the most dedicated practitioner on TH-cam. The work alone you have put into your book shows your true character and lifestyle. Most practice for fun or because it's cool. But you live your craft. And that to me is the most awesome thing to see. I wish I had the time and patience to make a book as stunning. But I give you a lot of respect and bow in honor to your teachings.
By far, this is THE best grimoire video on TH-cam. Wow! Mind blown.
I think mine are.
I concur!!
@@JaefarSABNW If you're referring to your Liber Umbrum series, I've seen it. With all due respect, no.
@@bobbys6945 Nope. That was a journal, right? I meant like my my standard works on grimoires like the Grimorium Verum Like and Like The Goetia Series.
This is what a grimoire should be. Not historically - because, of course they were just grammar books for magic instead of spelling and reading - but mythically, spiritually.

i have studied magical books and scripts for years and your grimoire was in a whole higher dimension
beautiful work***

Thank you!
that grimoire is GORGEOUS!!
There is no way that your book is not alive. You have infused so much heart and soul into it. And it has a name. So awesome and very inspiring.
This is the most intelligent and well thought out Grimoire I have yet to come across on TH-cam. Your patience and dedication to documenting your path and knowledge goes above and beyond anything I have seen. This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
I really like that your book is not just a collection of internet-knowledge like many "Book of shadows" you see on YT are. You put alot of effort and personality in it.
Omg what???? I love the chaos and I love how you just flip through and find random things. It's a beautiful beautiful grimoire!
Haha thank you!

Big, kind words, Dee! Thank you so much! :-) So cool that you have the same sketchbook. It's a good one. =) I really like this brand.
May I ask what sketchbook it is (size & brand)? 🌷
Wow! Absolutely stunning work. I am awestruck at the precision and beauty of your book.
This is the most beautiful and well-planned book of methods/magick/grimoire/shadows I have ever seen! To be honest, because you did the book as what felt right for you, and because you took the time to decorate it, I can see your love and care in every page! This looks amazing and is refreshing to see a magical book on Eastern traditions.
Wow this is the best grimoire vidéo on YT 😯 Please Benebell, an update for this video 🙏
the art work is amazing very beautiful book

Holy cow, your grimoire is stunning. What a beautifully rendered tome, you are very skilled. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you, Kelly Bear! The book does mean a lot to me, as I think is pretty evident. ^_^*
Wow. soo glad I found you. Amazing and authentic occultist following the path with such power and gusto. brava.
Thank you!
It is quite refreshing to watch a video on eastern esoteric & occult craft , usually it is quite nordic & middle-eastern centric.I practice a mostly dharmic & tantric path which is also eastern.I wish you plenty of positive, powerful & liberating moments in your path.

This is beautiful, what a working!
That's my kind of book, this multi-dimensional Aquarian loves that randomness and no page numbers..it is so fantastic seeing a younger person (timeless soul) carrying forward a sacred torch like this!
Genya B guess that makes sense. I'm an Aquarius rising. :-)
This is a work of art!! This is incredible!!!! I love your book so much!! Agh!! Keep up the amazing work!
The Tao of Craft is an amazing book. It was one of my first magical books and continues to be a good resource for me. Someday I want to take one of your classes. I also enjoy your TH-cam channel.
I love the way your Grimior is laid out and it is very similar to my own as far as the orginazation goes it is very much alive
Thank you for sharing, your Owl and Swan book is so beautiful and inspiring and I'm sure it glowed? Blessings to you.
wow, your grimoire"book of methods" is Deffinately one of the best. the artistic detail is so amazing. Deffinately an inspiration. thank you.

That is without doubt the most beautiful book I have ever seen. You're such an amazing artist, Benebell.
I can't wait to get your Tao of Craft.

Thank you, Nina!
I am absolutely enthralled, and in awe, by the artwork of your book, by the information it embodies, literally everything omg, thank you so much for sharing this
This is an inspirational video Benebell. Thank you for sharing your personal Book of Methods.
Thank you for sharing this. It's an amazing collection! And I love the way you describe the power you've imbued within your grimoire.
You're a genius. Have absolutely fallen in love with your content and couldn't be more grateful. 🤘💀🌻
Exquisite! Thank you so much for the honor of getting a peek into such a beautiful volume

This.... is THE most stunning grimoire I have ever seen and I am so envious of your drawing skills. Absolutely beautiful and inspires me to create one of my own.
This TH-cam showed up in my feed today, the book is arriving in the mail today :) Jung would smile at the synchronicity.
That is incredible. I wish my notebooks could be such works of art.
Watching this video, I am the equivalent of the heart eyes emoji. So much respect for your dedication and conviction to your art and your faith. Beautifully done. So much soul.
I love what you are doing! Amazing. A lot of inspiration! Like fresh air to me! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much, Ingrida!

This book is so beautiful im completely blown away
Thats the most amazing hand crafted book i have ever seen! You are truly amazing with all that you do. There must be six of you!! I have your book Holistic Tarot and love it!
Haha I wish there were six of me!
Thank you for sharing some of your personal grimoire, your very own Book of Methods, with us in your "The Tao of Craft".
Your work is phenomenal. I am so impressed & inspired.
2020 here. I think this is most beautiful and perfectly-done video and Grimoire.
I am really excited to read this book! Mine just arrived. Your grimoire is fabulous.
I am probably awfully late but I just grabbed the Tao of Craft today and I'm super excited to dive into it. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom in your videos. They've been of great help to me. Your grimoire is absolutely enchanting!
WOW. This is the most inspiring video I've ever watched on creating grimoires/magickal books and I've watched many! So glad to have stumbled across your channel.
I've watched so many, too! I'm kinda addicted to it! ^_^*
Your grimoire and this book really speak to me. It's never been part of my practices but I feel an attraction to your book, it looks like beautiful and interesting practices. Thank you for sharing knowledge with us and for sharing you're beautiful grimoire.
I'm currently reading your Tao of Craft book. I've finished the main part of the book, only the Appendixes left to go. It's the most impressive book that I've read in a long time. I'll definitely be putting it into practice. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Taoism or craft work.

I would be honored if you ever did decide to acquire it for your personal library. =D Lots of hugs.
Would love to see a video on the book dedication you did, Just the little section you show peeked my interest i loved the wording and would love to see the full thing.
Your Book of Methods is an absolute work of art! Will you consider publishing it through a print on demand service like Lulu?
apogeediva my point exactly :)
Upvoting this so hard.
Your grimorie is ASTOUNDING. It's nice to see others who use pages as tools! Your drawings are very beautiful
Very nice, a hands-on practictioner who seems to have fun doing the craft in every sense of the word.
I have never seen this level of dedication from any of the sorcerers I've come in contact with. This is absolutely stunning and, because I'm human, I must admit that I am envious of your artistic abilities. It makes mine look very basic by comparison. I'm gonna need to pour over that book one day. It'll happen! :) Best wishes, and I'm looking forward to receiving your Tao of Craft book in the mail!
Namaste . This was exactly what I was looking for. Your Grimoire is magic itself and very beautiful.Thank you for this video and sharing this path.
Your book is amazing and beautiful! You are very talented and artistic. You have both inspired and intimidated me! I do want to get the book you showed to help me with the making of my final grimoire! Thank you so much for sharing!
Just now stumbling unto this. I will absolutely get this book, and your personnal book is such an incredible work of art!
This is amazing. I am in awe. Now I understand Holistic Tarot’s depth. And I feel very much like a slacker on what I believe.
That is such a beautiful grimoire, thank you for showing us this. It is quite inspiring and unique definitely giving me ideas of what I want to add to mine!
I love your book. I 've started to put ineractive pages in my book. mostly for my pendules.
This is so beautiful and interesting. I didn't come accross any asian Paths yet. Your book will go on my list of which books to buy. I want to learn more. Thank you so much for sharing. 🖤
I think, every witch dreams about this type of Grimoire, where everything is drawn by hand, but not many people have the patience to do that.
I was only just recently thinking about a Grimoire (because I bought a Midori journal) so you read my mind! I am also very slowly working through your Tarot book, it's so detailed I want to take my time!
mostlymakeup how wonderful it is to hear that you'll be starting your grimoire. if you make a video sharing it, please link me. ^_^*
I really need you to do a tutorial of grimoire. Honestly. I have started so many and grown disgusted. Or started a new train of thinking.... freakin gorgeous. Messed up, disorganized beautiful! Love it love it!!!
I found two very helpful blog post on Benebell’s website. Yay! Most excellent information!
Very cool...very powerful...thanx 4 sharing.. love Tao of Craft & am waiting on I-Ching to arrive...
My gosh, you should publish your personal book of methods. I would buy it in a second!! It is so beautiful. Will you ever make it available? I think of Ram Dass's book 'Be Here Now' - that book changed my life, and I only read it because I was attracted to its illustrations and format. I had no idea how much it would change me. PLEASE publish this or make a digital copy we can buy and print ourselves!! Much love
Bought your book today and I cannot wait to get it. thank you so much.
Quite beautiful....mostly of eastern magic, with splashes of western magic...
Truly a magical artifact
Very beautiful art. Never heard about this kind of practice until today. I'm very interested.
I've been searching so many years for a source that can actually explain the path of sorcery and magic from the Taoist perspective and craft your book is amazing and Ill be putting it to use the following months, also your grimoire is a real piece of the craft if I may say so~ I would be very happy to see it some day published or at least something similar to it ;)
My spellbook is also chaotic like yours, but it’s organic to the spellcaster its a work of art, that’s you creating order from the chaos.

This was fascinating!!! You are so talented!!!
Your book and your work is legendary and I agree seeing other paths leads to a more whole being.
From your Muslim spirit brother 🙏
I love the Balance of your book! Balance in the craft is something that is very important to me! A lot of practitioners don't want anything to do with the darker parts of the craft. I'm not saying I go around hexing and cursing everyone I see but I feel that ignorance of something can be just as dangerous as the thing it self!!
Stunning ! Thank you for sharing lots of blessings 🙏❤🙏
