Love your Grimoire. So true, I'm always thinking "Gotta make it perfect", but none of us are. Life and Grimoires are a journey. However we make it is us. Love to go back and look where I've changed.
Ooh I agree, I love going back and thumbing through my old journals that I kept as a teenager. It’s hilarious, humbling, and so nostalgic to go back and see what “important” things where going on & what I was working on.
I like to think that our handwriting is a reflection of our souls. It's not going to be "perfect" no matter what you do, just like our bodies there will always be something we have trouble loving about ourselves. Learning to love your own handwriting can be a good practice for self acceptance. My handwriting is a bit different. I naturally seem to go back and forth between cursive and print and randomly change style and size as I go. That said, I love my handwriting! Its unique and beautiful just like I am. Seeing a full page of my own handwriting fills me with such joy I want to show everyone I know! Your handwriting is beautiful as well, just as you yourself radiate with beauty and loving, joyful energy. I can feel that in your book. Just stunning! This is the most unique and wonderful example of a personal grimoire I have seen yet. It saddens me to see so many cookie cutter lists of correspondences and such. There is so much more to our spirituality that lists and lists of correspondences. Thank you for reminding me how beautiful our own personal experiences can be! 💜
Handwritten ANYTHING just gives me life. Sometimes I’m over critical, as we can all get in all things- but for the most part, I love my handwriting too. I can see my emotions by the changes in my writing- my speed, my slant, my unreadable scribbles, in the end they tell a story. Your beautiful words filled my heart, much love and many blessings to you ♥️✨🥰
Dani girl ... I can’t stop myself from telling you how super cute you look in this video 💛 I hear you on being anxious about showing art or being seen! Loved seeing your Grimoire, especially the quote got me all emotional, besides you tearing up. Hugs to you and a big thank you for sharing!!!
I feel that a powerful grimoire embraces the personality of the owner. Obviously I don't know you, and this video is nearly two years old, but I can see that this grimoire you had going was very much you, and that's powerful magick right there. I'm subscribing to check out other videos to see how much you've grown. Your passion is beautiful.
Girl!!!! Its is not a mess!! Your grimoire is absolutely beautiful! Even the page with the seasons on it is awesome! You have inspired me to quit being scared of starting mine. I have so much I want to put in it but am so scared to mess things up. You are so right about it not having to be perfect. I loved this video and am so glad to have found your channel!!
Have watched several "perfect" looking grimoire videos, and SO grateful to find one with your own beautiful authentic voice throughout! Love that quote!
This was really profound to come across out of random. My ancestors are also French-Acadian and were victims of the expulsion from Canada so many centuries ago. Luckily, they were not taken far since most of my French relatives live on the border of Maine/Canada. Lovely seeing another Acadian Witch!🖤
Your Grimoire is beautiful just like you!! You are so genuine and that shines through your Grimoire!! I am looking forward to watching many more of your videos. Thank you for sharing all that is you!!
YAY!!!!!!!!! I am so like that!!!! I used to tear whole pages out of my diaries and book of shadows because it wasn’t “perfect!” It didn’t look like the book of shadows from say “Charmed!” Thank you so much for sharing your BOS!!! I love the drawings etc! Thank you also for sharing the great family photos and story about your husband’s Grandpa coming through!
This vid came up in my feed and I know its like 2 years later, but I needed to see/hear this TODAY so #waytogotimetraveler and thank you for your open authentic self. I have been thinking about starting my 1st grimoire but eh-rybody is so intimidating with their perfection and flat lays and really showing off...but YOU showed us to be open, honest, encouraging and vulnerable, which is M-A-G-I-C personified. So. I think I CAN start my grimoire. It will be a perfect reflection of my imperfect self and a testament of my tiny but fiercely lighted soul. Blessings on you from "the future" Dani ❤
Wow, I really needed to hear what you said in this video. Thank you! It does not have to be perfect to be beautiful or to have meaning. I think you can apply that beauty quote to your Grimoire. It's beautiful; just not the beauty you want. Such a profound quote. Can be applied to so many things. Thanks for sharing. 🙏 AnnaO
I feel you. It might be helpful for some of you to do it this way: Leave enough(!) space at the beginning for a table of contents. Then just start writing in whatever order. If you randomly pick up pieces of info, just write it down. At the end, when the book is full, you can number the pages (you could also do this whenever) and only then start to organise the topics in your head. Let‘s take elemental magick for example. Let’s say you have some info about it on page 7, 45, 98. You can then write that topic with the pages in your table of contents. So while your Grimoire may be like: Elemental Magick, deities, candle magick, sabbats, elemental magick, moon phases, astrology, moon phases, deities,... your table of contents can be: Astrology, Deities, Moon Phases, Sabbats, Elemental Magick, Candle Magick. This way you can put an order to everything without feeling pressured to actually write everything in order. Hope this was understandable and helpful 🖤
this is an amazing video and i love the title , there is no wrong way ! i have made so many grimoires its crazy and they are never Pinterest prefect and im now starting my "real book" and this made me feel so much better saying there is no wrong way so thanks
Lovely and perfect that you made it your own! Most people get too caught up in trying to create a "professional book" style BOS.....what you've created is perfectly yours and therefore genuinely meaningful and magickal.
Thank you! It’s so true, I’m all for a beautiful look and style- but i feel like sometimes that idea of it being “perfect” can cause anxiety- and in turn, that anxious energy gets placed in our books- which will usually make us stop working because every time we pick it up we get that dreaded anxiousness! It was just my way of getting it messy so that I could relax and do what feels right. Granted, some people can relax and still churn out beautiful and aesthetically pleasing pages every time...I’m just not one of those people LOL But I’m ok with that!
You are a lovely energy. I was wondering, while I watched this(first time to meet you) if you knew how lovely you are. I do appreciate the quote you shared. Thank you.
I am so happy I found this channel and your wonderful spirit! I find myself trying to go back and watch all of your videos. You have really helped give me a push that I didn’t even know I needed and have brought out a part of me that I have not been able to access for a while. Cannot wait to book a reading with you!
Hi Dani, I’m Louise and I am from Montreal. I’ve been watching many of your videos, it’s always a pleasure. I like your vision, your approach. You are a gentle soul. Tu es très sympathique et inspirante, have a wonderful day!
My partner and I are new to all this and are both just starting our first grimoires. I want to sincerely thank you for this video. I know my approach is a bit different to most and I’ve been a bit worried about it so this video really helped
What I love about your book is its about the content as it should be. The big beautiful artsy books seem to become more about looks. Yours is more what I see as a true grimoire.
lovely grimoire and I am so happy I found your channel.....I like you......hope your grandma heals soon I will send healing energies...…...blessings tanya
Love your grimoire!!! And being a Witch can surely be PRACTICAL... what means something TO YOU!!! It's YOUR book... not anybody else's... whether you are moved to draw, paint, write, whatever for yourself, or use printed copies... GO FOR IT! It's what works for you.... what it means To you...and if someone is telling you "my way is THE way"... they are being narcissistic, at BEST.... do what WORKS FOR YOU!! I really liked your grimoire, and what you had to say about it! Thank you, for sharing it with us! Blessings! :)
LOUISIANA!!! no where compares to our home state! LOVE that I have come across you today! My family originates from Breaux Bridge....I love hearing your connection and understand it fully. following now.
Thank you for putting your B.O.S and yourself out there, I'm not in that space yet but have been motivated to add loads more to my book. I started over 30 years ago and am 1/2 way through my book. I take inspiration from religions I don't believe in, from the Lindisfarne Gospel / Book of Kells (6th century? Celtic christian) and the jewish Torah. The care, focus and effort they put into their writing imbues the Book with yourself and with power. Do the best with where you are, what you got and where your at. Keep up the good work my lovely :)
OMGs thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've always been horrible at the pristine penmanship and BOS/Grimoire thing! Always second guessing the things I add or do! You are an inspiration 💙💙💙💙💙
You are soooo welcome! I How many times has perfection stopped me in my tracks?!?! I had to get that out of my head- done is better than “good” has become my mantra! Do your thing-its going to be fantastic!
As someone who is just starting my witchcraft journey, THANK YOU! I have been so intimidated by all the incredibly artistic grimoire out there that I haven’t felt able to start my own until I came across this video. Thank you for being so down to earth 🙏🏻
Welcome, welcome! ✨♥️✨ I’m so glad I was able to help in any way! I hope you enjoy your grimoire journey, just the way YOU want it! No pressure, just love of the craft ♥️♥️
Este vídeo foi me recomendado pelo TH-cam e eu adorei a tua forma simples de falar a tua energia... Foi o primeiro do meu dia e ajudou bastante... muito obrigada...
Thanks for sharing. I LOVE your wheel of the year. I may do something similar for mine now - but I live in the Southern Hemisphere. I also agree on your thoughts about a Grimoire not having to be perfect. I've finally started mine but it is slow because I want mine to be part printables I've found on Pinterest and part hand written.
I had to comment on this video. 🥰 Your Grimoire is literally perfect as it is. You gave me so many ideas for my own and I really appreciate you sharing this with us! I got choked up when you got emotional talking about your grandparents. 😢 I lived with my dads parents for over 20 years and they were the most important people in my life and I miss them dearly. Also wanted to tell you that when you showed your birth chart I noticed that you and my daughter share the same birth time, 3:07am!! Thought that was cool. 😁 Love your videos Dani!! 💕
Thank you so very much!! I certainly miss my grandparents too, my grandmother has since passed and it’s a lonely earth without her. Ooh early morning babies!! 🙌✨😆 Thank you so much for watching!
Im late to this but just starting my bos after 20 years lol this was rather inspirational and absolutely beautiful. Thank you gorgeous for trusting us and sharing this with us
I love this video! Thank you for giving me inspiration to FINALLY start my Grimoire/book of shadows (whatever LOL) it doesn’t have to be perfect, just has to be me 😊
When I'm in the throes, I draw sigils freehand in the back of my book. One after the other faster than I can write them down, things that make me happy, until the unkempt energy abates.
Thanks Dani. How many times I’ve started my BOS and screw it up or doesn’t look good and give up. I’m very crafty and will now use all the tools I have to create it. Gluing in typed things or images. Who would have thought. The BOS junk journal style. I’m ready to begin again.
I struggled soooo much with this, 12 plus years of stressing over a BOS. I just recently figured out my method and the route I wanted to go. I decided to Scrapbook my way through a BOS...I've got 3 pages done and i'm IN LOVE with it FINALLY! I'm glad i'm not the only one that feared the BOS/Grimoire. I've found there are many of us who struggle with this. I recently did a video on my struggles as well.
I’m so glad you are falling in love with it!! ♥️ I’ll definitely look up your video! I still struggle some days and others I gush over the pages. I think of it as an extension of myself- always a work in progress 😁😁😁
@@DaniMystic I'm glad I stumbled across your channel...i know this video is older but I loved all the things you put out there on this! Totally new subber❤
I absolutely love your Grimoire! Some pages you say that it looks like a hot mess or whatever and i dont think the same. I think your book o.s. is really awesome and I love all the little quarks like the folded in notes and the owl drawing and the cut corner where you messed up (LOL) I think it is really awesome. Keep it up girl! (SUBSCRIBED!) :)
Dani Mystic, you so HELPED me. I too have the biggest fear of my BOS turning out looking like crap. My GF bought me a true leather bound(huge) BOS journal 10 months ago. I still have yet to do one page. I am not a witch or wiccan, but I want to do one like yours. I have spells printed out to convert over to my BOS as well as a slew of topics one especially on info about crystals and angels and archangels. SO THANK YOU. i have been sitting here for 2 hours watching you tube BOS and non made as much sense then yours. SO, again thank you for telling all of us that its okay not to be "perfect". I hope you get to read this. -Sky
Thank you so much, Sky! I fought (and some days still fight) that liar in my head for a long time and found that I had to yell “SHUT UP” and just make a mark on the page. I hope it all goes well! It sounds like you have a beautiful book to really dig into!! Sending you much love, creativity, and freedom from fear 😘♥️
Wonderful grimoire. How bizarre that I come across your video, being a French Acadian from NB, CA. I love how you incorporated that in your grimoire. 🥰
You have beautiful penmanship my books are full of loose note only way to remember things the universe kinda works out my ocd and anxiety in the end!!🌻 imperfectly victorious 🍃🧝♀️ that's life live xxx
I have similar handwriting as you and I'm so glad to see someone that writes in a particular way of cursive as I do on their grimoire! Due to moving schools, my handwriting is in this weird limbo of cursive and print, and seeing your grimoire makes me feel less self conscious of mine. Your writing is so beautiful, I can feel your magick just by looking at it. Thank you for sharing!
I always have felt that my writing is ever changing in the sense that it is inconsistent at best! Script to cursive, lower case to upper...good to know that I’m not alone ♥️
I loved your grimoire. I think your artwork and writing are beautiful. I don't think any pages were terrible. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that quote about us not seeing our beauty I may have to use it to if you don't mind. I'm just starting mine but once I get some stuff done I'll have to send you a picture.
awww omg you are soo cute☺️💗💗🥰 and your grimoire is just so beautiful☺️ it just inspire me to finally start mine… if i would have time🤣🤣 but your energy just came through this screen.... from far away where you are to switzerland where i am😉🎀🎀 thank you for being such a sunshine🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 take care have a great day☺️💖
I do like that quote about beauty, I may have to copy it! :) I'm looking for inspiration to start a Grimoire/BoS and have no idea where to start lol, I like how you have done yours, tfs :)
I'm new to the channel and I've fallen in love with you within 30 seconds. The accent is to die for ♥️♥️♥️. I'm a Druid from the U.K. My Book of Awen is in a ring binder as I find easier. I can add to subjects easily and move them easily too. I'm not brave as you to put it online (pictures or videos) Thanks for the inspiration.
For my book, I've adopted the attitude of "it's art because you make it art, not because it's perfect". That isn't saying that my book is "art" in the literal sense, I'm using that word to basically mean "special". So far I've written more than I have with any other book, and (most importantly) I'm still in love with my book.
I know this in an older video but I love it. I just started my own Grimoire. I am kind of a mixed breed. 😅. I grew up secular. I grew up seeing things no one else could see. I could tell when houses would burn down a day before they did. I had flashbacks from as if from a past life. As an adult I “found Christ”. I’ve been a Christian ever since. However although I am still a follower I am finding myself not quite fitting into this traditional Christian mold. I know there are certain things that are real beyond the box Christianity puts things in. Plus I know the history of Christianity as I have a degree in biblical studies so I know how much of it was created based on power and politics. I feel kind of alone as I truly find my path.
I think that feeling of being alone follows many of us who decide to press against or move out of the boxes society and politics have on religion. Once you find friends on that same path- it’ll all feel much better.
I don't agree that you are not good at writing. Just before you said that, I was thinking "I wish could do beautiful lettering like that!" Love your book, its real and its artistic!
You look so cute. It's a big deal dude.....putting our creations out in to the world. 🤞✍️🖌️😊 Such a good idea to place special family items in there...gives me warm fuzzies. 🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻 I liked Dead Cheeky's video on her Grimoire..when she added family recipes. 👌👩🍳👨🍳👩🍳🇨🇰
Thank you ☺️☺️☺️ I love adding family stuff!! I feel like it shows a bit of background- a place to add stories and lessons learned from the people who had a huge effect on my life ✨💛✨ Oooh that’s a great idea!! I’ll go check out her video!!
Just tgis year Ive purchased or make at least 15 journals to use for a BoS/ Grimoire and have been really bad at writing one one page and moving on. Your book inspires me just to go for it . this Will be my first book so its meant to just be as is !
Honey your book was AMAZING!! I absolutely love that its so sentimental. and talking about how the book is "suppose to be" actually its basically a diary for. a witch!! so someone telling you that its suppose to be this way and that way its what's the wrong way.. ppl are so caught up on thinking its suppose to be the Hocus Pokus book... I think that they forget that its REAL MAGIC books rather than coming off a movie lol!! also I just bought the cutest (cute to me) book of shadows or journal from the store called "Earth Bound" in Pigeon Forge TN. so I'm tryin to come up with a protection spell from prying eyes... I cant find one and I cant come up with one either.. I dont have the gift of rhyme.. so could ANYONE help me lol!!????
Thanks sooo much! I love Earth Bound! I went in the one in New Orleans last weekend! I love a good protection spell, but I’m definitely not a rhymer! 😆 Mine are a bit more sigil or herbal or sewing based!
Oh ok. I see now.. I finally found the perfect one tho. Actually the night that I made this comment I found it and out it in the new spell book. It’s beautiful words and I feel like it’s very very powerful. Especially to the prying eyes lol! But anyways.. I’m trying to find a witch that wouldn’t mind giving me lessons on things. I’m more of a hangs on type person and I can’t truly get the feel for it by reading a bunch of books and also I forget everything I just read lol! I can barely remember 10 mins ago 😂😂
btw i think your grimoire is lovely. were just basically our own worst critics. u got original crafty, and drawing and cursive. am prolly gonna use Word, and stickers on mine. thats how bad i am- no artsy bone in my body.:)
Watching this intro makes me want to shake you and say to not worry so much about how others might perceive your work...but at the same time I resonate with what you’re saying SO much. It makes you so relatable. I LOVE your style and energy 🔮💜 I would love to follow you on insta :) do you have one?
Love your Grimoire. So true, I'm always thinking "Gotta make it perfect", but none of us are. Life and Grimoires are a journey. However we make it is us. Love to go back and look where I've changed.

I feel the very same way!!! Thank you
Have watched several "perfect" looking grimoire videos, and SO grateful to find one with your own beautiful authentic voice throughout! Love that quote!
Obsessed w the first Harry Potter page omg that is an amazing idea 💡
Thanks! I love doing those!

Oh wow! ♥️ Lovely to meet you!!
Dani Mystic, you make my heart sing. Such beauty, wisdom, magic and soul.
God bless you sister. Your Book its beautiful because it has your magic!!!
Thank you sooo much ♥️♥️♥️
Love the quote about beauty. You are beautiful when you talk about it. GO YOU!
I loved the page with wheel of the year and I was so shocked when you said it's terrible. It's beautiful, one of my fav from your tour :)
Oh, thank you ☺️ I think it’s easy to be hypercritical of ourselves, especially when you have something in my mind and it just doesn’t pan out! 💕
Your Grimoire is beautiful just like you!! You are so genuine and that shines through your Grimoire!! I am looking forward to watching many more of your videos. Thank you for sharing all that is you!!
Thank you so much 😊
Beautifully handmade - which always makes the best grimoires.
Thank you very much!
YAY!!!!!!!!! I am so like that!!!! I used to tear whole pages out of my diaries and book of shadows because it wasn’t “perfect!” It didn’t look like the book of shadows from say “Charmed!” Thank you so much for sharing your BOS!!!

Great video! You are right, there´s no wrong way, there´s no perfect way to make your Book of Shadows. I loved the way you went about it.

Good luck with your Grimoire, but, of course, you won’t need it- it’ll be perfectly yours 💕
What I love about your book is its about the content as it should be. The big beautiful artsy books seem to become more about looks. Yours is more what I see as a true grimoire.

Love it! The energy of just going with it ♡
Also: hare is a spirit animal for me too! I have her tattooed over my heart💗
Ooooh!!!! Love that 🐇♥️

Thank you, Tanya! Sadly, my grandmother ended up passing away in January. Your healing energy is greatly appreciated 💕 Many blessings to you!!
@@DaniMystic oh I misunderstood ...so sorry for your loss.........bless you
Oh no, she was still alive when I did this video. This was from last year. No worries at all!! ♥️
LITERALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love this, thank you so much for sharing.
🙌
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽you had me at "putting pen to paper" say no more!!!
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing. So true, Just start and be creative in your own way. The Grimoire is a journey into our soul. :-)
Love your grimoire!!! And being a Witch can surely be PRACTICAL... what means something TO YOU!!! It's YOUR book... not anybody else's... whether you are moved to draw, paint, write, whatever for yourself, or use printed copies... GO FOR IT! It's what works for you.... what it means To you...and if someone is telling you "my way is THE way"... they are being narcissistic, at BEST.... do what WORKS FOR YOU!! I really liked your grimoire, and what you had to say about it! Thank you, for sharing it with us! Blessings! :)
Yes, yes, a million times!!! Blessings to you as well! Thanks for watching ♥️♥️♥️
I looooove that harry potter-ish page, right at the beginning of your book Yay! =D I think your book is wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
I’m all about that Potter! #hp4life ⚡️💛

The care, focus and effort they put into their writing imbues the Book with yourself and with power. Do the best with where you are, what you got and where your at. Keep up the good work my lovely :)
Thanks. ♥️♥️
I just subscribed. I love your energy and you're absolutely beautiful!
Omg thank you sooo much ♥️♥️♥️
OMGs thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've always been horrible at the pristine penmanship and BOS/Grimoire thing! Always second guessing the things I add or do! You are an inspiration 💙💙💙💙💙
You are soooo welcome! I
How many times has perfection stopped me in my tracks?!?! I had to get that out of my head- done is better than “good” has become my mantra! Do your thing-its going to be fantastic!
As someone who is just starting my witchcraft journey, THANK YOU! I have been so intimidated by all the incredibly artistic grimoire out there that I haven’t felt able to start my own until I came across this video. Thank you for being so down to earth 🙏🏻
Welcome, welcome! ✨♥️✨ I’m so glad I was able to help in any way! I hope you enjoy your grimoire journey, just the way YOU want it! No pressure, just love of the craft ♥️♥️
Praying for your grandmother blessed be darling 💖
Much appreciated 💕
I love these videos!!!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing Beautiful!
🙏💖🤗💖🙏
😘😘♥️
Este vídeo foi me recomendado pelo TH-cam e eu adorei a tua forma simples de falar a tua energia... Foi o primeiro do meu dia e ajudou bastante... muito obrigada...
Estou tão feliz que você gostou. Obrigado por assistir! ...
Thanks for sharing. I LOVE your wheel of the year. I may do something similar for mine now - but I live in the Southern Hemisphere. I also agree on your thoughts about a Grimoire not having to be perfect. I've finally started mine but it is slow because I want mine to be part printables I've found on Pinterest and part hand written.
I had to comment on this video. 🥰 Your Grimoire is literally perfect as it is. You gave me so many ideas for my own and I really appreciate you sharing this with us! I got choked up when you got emotional talking about your grandparents. 😢 I lived with my dads parents for over 20 years and they were the most important people in my life and I miss them dearly. Also wanted to tell you that when you showed your birth chart I noticed that you and my daughter share the same birth time, 3:07am!! Thought that was cool. 😁 Love your videos Dani!! 💕
Thank you so very much!!
I certainly miss my grandparents too, my grandmother has since passed and it’s a lonely earth without her.
Ooh early morning babies!! 🙌✨😆
Thank you so much for watching!
@@DaniMystic I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. 🥺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 May she rest in paradise forever. 🙏
Your one of my favorite people
♥️♥️♥️
Love it all. The "hot mess" is perfect. Glad to have found your channel. Subscribed.
Thank you ♥️♥️
Im late to this but just starting my bos after 20 years lol this was rather inspirational and absolutely beautiful. Thank you gorgeous for trusting us and sharing this with us
♥️♥️♥️
I love this video! Thank you for giving me inspiration to FINALLY start my Grimoire/book of shadows (whatever LOL) it doesn’t have to be perfect, just has to be me 😊
♥️♥️♥️ absolutely 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When I'm in the throes, I draw sigils freehand in the back of my book. One after the other faster than I can write them down, things that make me happy, until the unkempt energy abates.
Thanks Dani. How many times I’ve started my BOS and screw it up or doesn’t look good and give up. I’m very crafty and will now use all the tools I have to create it. Gluing in typed things or images. Who would have thought. The BOS junk journal style. I’m ready to begin again.
Best of luck to you ♥️
I love you book you inspired me!!!
Thanks so much for watching ♥️
I loved everything about this video! 💜
Thank you, love 💛💛
You are great!
Your grimoire looks great!
Thank you!!
You"re funny!!! But ya, that describes me alright!!! Thanks for all the tips, I do need to get started with my book and stop worrying about it!!!
😁♥️
I struggled soooo much with this, 12 plus years of stressing over a BOS.
I just recently figured out my method and the route I wanted to go. I decided to Scrapbook my way through a BOS...I've got 3 pages done and i'm IN LOVE with it FINALLY!
I'm glad i'm not the only one that feared the BOS/Grimoire. I've found there are many of us who struggle with this. I recently did a video on my struggles as well.
I’m so glad you are falling in love with it!! ♥️ I’ll definitely look up your video! I still struggle some days and others I gush over the pages. I think of it as an extension of myself- always a work in progress 😁😁😁
@@DaniMystic I'm glad I stumbled across your channel...i know this video is older but I loved all the things you put out there on this! Totally new subber❤
♥️I just subbed to you too!!
I absolutely love your Grimoire! Some pages you say that it looks like a hot mess or whatever and i dont think the same. I think your book o.s. is really awesome and I love all the little quarks like the folded in notes and the owl drawing and the cut corner where you messed up (LOL) I think it is really awesome. Keep it up girl! (SUBSCRIBED!) :)
Thank you so so much ♥️♥️♥️
And I thought I was the only one ! Thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much ☺️
I think your grimoire is lovely! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you 💕
Dani Mystic, you so HELPED me. I too have the biggest fear of my BOS turning out looking like crap. My GF bought me a true leather bound(huge) BOS journal 10 months ago. I still have yet to do one page. I am not a witch or wiccan, but I want to do one like yours. I have spells printed out to convert over to my BOS as well as a slew of topics one especially on info about crystals and angels and archangels. SO THANK YOU. i have been sitting here for 2 hours watching you tube BOS and non made as much sense then yours. SO, again thank you for telling all of us that its okay not to be "perfect". I hope you get to read this. -Sky
Thank you so much, Sky! I fought (and some days still fight) that liar in my head for a long time and found that I had to yell “SHUT UP” and just make a mark on the page. I hope it all goes well! It sounds like you have a beautiful book to really dig into!! Sending you much love, creativity, and freedom from fear 😘♥️
Love that quote at 21:25
So good, right?! It just really hit home
Wonderful grimoire. How bizarre that I come across your video, being a French Acadian from NB, CA. I love how you incorporated that in your grimoire. 🥰
How wonderful 💗 Thanks for watching!!
You have beautiful penmanship my books are full of loose note only way to remember things the universe kinda works out my ocd and anxiety in the end!!🌻 imperfectly victorious 🍃🧝♀️ that's life live xxx
Thank you 🙏🏼 Yes!!! Imperfectly victorious! I love that!!
You young one.... are adorable!
You are SO cute. And thank you for helping me feel better about starting my grimoire!
Awww, thank you ☺️☺️ yessss start it, do it!!! 🥳👏🏼👏🏼🎉
I have similar handwriting as you and I'm so glad to see someone that writes in a particular way of cursive as I do on their grimoire! Due to moving schools, my handwriting is in this weird limbo of cursive and print, and seeing your grimoire makes me feel less self conscious of mine. Your writing is so beautiful, I can feel your magick just by looking at it. Thank you for sharing!
I always have felt that my writing is ever changing in the sense that it is inconsistent at best! Script to cursive, lower case to upper...good to know that I’m not alone ♥️
That’s exactly how I write!! Sometimes longer words are part cursive and part print. People think I’m strange.
I loved your grimoire. I think your artwork and writing are beautiful. I don't think any pages were terrible. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that quote about us not seeing our beauty I may have to use it to if you don't mind. I'm just starting mine but once I get some stuff done I'll have to send you a picture.
I’d love that!!
I absolutely love your wheel of the year. Can't believe you hate it. 😁
Thank you 🙏 it’s only because I know I could have done better. But hey, it just wasn’t meant to be!
@@DaniMystic I like it so much I am thinking of modeling mine after yours. It's my favorite that I have seen so far
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Enjoyed this! Beautiful grimoire.
Thank you sooo much!!!
Lol I'm totally laughing at your thought processes because they totally mirror my own. 😁🌒🌕🌘😁
😆♥️
awww omg you are soo cute☺️💗💗🥰 and your grimoire is just so beautiful☺️ it just inspire me to finally start mine… if i would have time🤣🤣 but your energy just came through this screen.... from far away where you are to switzerland where i am😉🎀🎀 thank you for being such a sunshine🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 take care have a great day☺️💖
I do like that quote about beauty, I may have to copy it! :) I'm looking for inspiration to start a Grimoire/BoS and have no idea where to start lol, I like how you have done yours, tfs :)
♥️♥️♥️thanks
I'm new to the channel and I've fallen in love with you within 30 seconds. The accent is to die for ♥️♥️♥️. I'm a Druid from the U.K. My Book of Awen is in a ring binder as I find easier. I can add to subjects easily and move them easily too. I'm not brave as you to put it online (pictures or videos) Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you soo much!! I'm sure it is wonderful!
Just subscribed. You are awesome greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching ♥️
Beautiful and definitely the right thinking about creating your bos! I’m struggling with the same problems, always afraid of starting mine
It can be paralyzing! Thank you so much for your kind words ♥️
Yaaay! I’m #1000 subbie to your channel! ❤️
YAYYYY!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉♥️♥️♥️♥️Welcome, welcome!!
For my book, I've adopted the attitude of "it's art because you make it art, not because it's perfect". That isn't saying that my book is "art" in the literal sense, I'm using that word to basically mean "special". So far I've written more than I have with any other book, and (most importantly) I'm still in love with my book.
I love that way of thinking of it as an art piece!
Oooh you're a doll! So glad I found your yt!!!
Thank you sooo much!!!
I know this in an older video but I love it. I just started my own Grimoire. I am kind of a mixed breed. 😅. I grew up secular. I grew up seeing things no one else could see. I could tell when houses would burn down a day before they did. I had flashbacks from as if from a past life.
As an adult I “found Christ”. I’ve been a Christian ever since. However although I am still a follower I am finding myself not quite fitting into this traditional Christian mold. I know there are certain things that are real beyond the box Christianity puts things in. Plus I know the history of Christianity as I have a degree in biblical studies so I know how much of it was created based on power and politics.
I feel kind of alone as I truly find my path.
I think that feeling of being alone follows many of us who decide to press against or move out of the boxes society and politics have on religion. Once you find friends on that same path- it’ll all feel much better.
I don't agree that you are not good at writing. Just before you said that, I was thinking "I wish could do beautiful lettering like that!" Love your book, its real and its artistic!
Thank you so much!!
You look so cute.
It's a big deal dude.....putting our creations out in to the world. 🤞✍️🖌️😊
Such a good idea to place special family items in there...gives me warm fuzzies. 🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻
I liked Dead Cheeky's video on her Grimoire..when she added family recipes. 👌👩🍳👨🍳👩🍳🇨🇰
Thank you ☺️☺️☺️
I love adding family stuff!! I feel like it shows a bit of background- a place to add stories and lessons learned from the people who had a huge effect on my life ✨💛✨
Oooh that’s a great idea!! I’ll go check out her video!!
Love your personality! Just subbed :)
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
@@DaniMystic you're welcome!
I love your wheel page. Lol
♥️♥️thanks!
Love your grimoire. Don't think you are not creative!!!
♥️♥️Thanks Kathleen
Love your book. Have you filled it since this video?
i have! I have also started a new one, I'll be doing another video about soon!!
Just tgis year Ive purchased or make at least 15 journals to use for a BoS/ Grimoire and have been really bad at writing one one page and moving on. Your book inspires me just to go for it . this Will be my first book so its meant to just be as is !
♥️♥️♥️You got this!!! Good luck 🍀 🙌🏼😍
Honey your book was AMAZING!! I absolutely love that its so sentimental. and talking about how the book is "suppose to be" actually its basically a diary for. a witch!! so someone telling you that its suppose to be this way and that way its what's the wrong way.. ppl are so caught up on thinking its suppose to be the Hocus Pokus book... I think that they forget that its REAL MAGIC books rather than coming off a movie lol!! also I just bought the cutest (cute to me) book of shadows or journal from the store called "Earth Bound" in Pigeon Forge TN. so I'm tryin to come up with a protection spell from prying eyes... I cant find one and I cant come up with one either.. I dont have the gift of rhyme.. so could ANYONE help me lol!!????
Thanks sooo much! I love Earth Bound! I went in the one in New Orleans last weekend! I love a good protection spell, but I’m definitely not a rhymer! 😆 Mine are a bit more sigil or herbal or sewing based!
Oh ok. I see now.. I finally found the perfect one tho. Actually the night that I made this comment I found it and out it in the new spell book. It’s beautiful words and I feel like it’s very very powerful. Especially to the prying eyes lol! But anyways.. I’m trying to find a witch that wouldn’t mind giving me lessons on things. I’m more of a hangs on type person and I can’t truly get the feel for it by reading a bunch of books and also I forget everything I just read lol! I can barely remember 10 mins ago 😂😂
This popped up in my recommended. You are so cute!
How is your Grimoire going? I agree with you... copy, print, write it’s yours ❤️
Oh thanks so much 😊 I finished this one up and I’m working on a new one! 💕
Inspiring! ✨
😊😊
😂😂😂 I also wanted to make it look like the ones on Pinterest and just gave up. Doing it my way.
I feel you!!!
btw i think your grimoire is lovely. were just basically our own worst critics. u got original crafty, and drawing and cursive. am prolly gonna use Word, and stickers on mine. thats how bad i am- no artsy bone in my body.:)
Thank you so much! Word and stickers sound just as good 🎉👏🏼
Watching this intro makes me want to shake you and say to not worry so much about how others might perceive your work...but at the same time I resonate with what you’re saying SO much. It makes you so relatable.
I LOVE your style and energy 🔮💜 I would love to follow you on insta :) do you have one?
Haha! Thanks! It’s a process to shake it off, but it’s getting better! I’m on insta @thedanimystic
