Mending Magic Grimoire Spread

I love to mend things. I would say it is one of my favorite things to do! Truly caring for the things I have and making sure they are functioning well and serving my expansion as I go through this life with them. I did a blog post on mending magic already, and I would love to share the grimoire page I created around the topic of mending magic as well!

DIY Magical Hammered Copper Bookmarks

Is it just me or does everyone just use crappy scraps of paper as bookmarks… Just me? Well NOT ANYMORE! Now I can make as many bookmarks as I like with a basic craft supply, copper wire.

There are so many reasons to make these bookmarks. Not only do they look lovely in your books when on the bookshelf, but they also have the potential to be a part of a spell if you would like to put certain stones on the charms!

Travelers Notebook Setup for Bullet Journal Lovers

Journaling is a great way to bring conscious intention to your day. I have been doing this for years using the Bullet Journal system! It is so great, but I have learned that travelers notebooks may be even better! They allow you to have separate signatures or sections of your journal that can stay in your journal for longer or shorter depending on your needs! They are so much more customizable! This is why I now use a Travelers Notebook with a bullet journal inside.

Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming Grimoire Spreads

Journaling and creating art are amazing meditation tools to help you focus on manifesting what you want. I have created a couple of Grimoire spreads that have helped me in my interplanetary travels. Those spreads are my Astral Projection spreads, and my Lucid Dreaming spread. With all of this creative focus directed towards having these experiences, I have been lucky enough to have a few OBEs (out of body experiences)! Since I hope to have more of these experience, I see a lot more of these spreads in my future.

My 5 Favorite Grimoire Spreads (so far)

Journaling has been one of the most consistent magical practices I have ever had. It has given me so many things; organization, a creative outlet, a way to clear my mind, a to do list, and even just a place to doodle!

While I have been sharing my bullet journal practice on my youtube for a while, I am now diving into sharing my Grimoire (AKA, my Magic Book). This book contains…

Mending Magic

Mending is magical. It is the act of truly taking CARE of something that will take care of you. Now if that is not a relationship, I don’t know what is! Having a meaningful relationship with the things you have adds a richness to life because everything you interact with becomes more intentional. That intentionality can bring you back to this present moment from whatever mental gymnastics you were doing before you saw or touched that item you have cared for for years.
