[@ssum92]

You can lightly dust the pages with so Airspun translucent powder to stop sticking. It's like $5 for a pretty big jar at Walmart.

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Great idea, thank you! Now to find it... lol

The song you’re asking about the witches rune is by SJ Tucker.

[@idefkdudes]

Your book here is the first time I've seen another's book and gone "HOLY SHIT I'd probably do one just like this!" Instead of finding some parts of their style that I like and not caring for much of the rest. Wow!! This is a DELIGHT to watch while my hands are busy

[@debihorsman789]

I have just started my book of shadows recently so you have given me some great inspiration. Thank you. I did however have to pause the video 3 times and take my headphones out to go see what the creaking noise was while you were showing us the elements only to realise that it was on the video! 😆

[@aphaiawyn5361]

OMG I'm so sorry! It was probably my bed!

[@DorcusT]

Love the update!! You’re so creative with how you set up the pages.

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thanks so much!

[@MegaMickan]

If you haven't been told this yet, a tip from an art journaling like me is if pages stick together like that, often due to modepodge. Rubb some clear or white candle vax on the sticky places and your problem is no more. :)

[@aphaiawyn5361]

OMG thank you, I hadn't heard that! I will definitely give it a try.

[@sarahgolbey2793]

I love the way you have done this, and the way you look at the retrograde. I have never really understood them,but the way you see them and the positive way you can use them is new to me. Thank you. Blessed be

[@sonreirantetodo5152]

Beautiful work!! Greetings from Argentina!!

[@ShewhowalksbetweentheWorlds]

What a beautiful book!

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you!

[@amouramarie]

Man, I really do still have so many learned things to unlearn. You're the second person I've run across today on KZbin who combines bible/Christianity with witchcraft. I've been feeling a pull in both directions lately and I was fretting about it, all _these cannot go together, pick one!_ then decided what the heck and put up an enormous wooden pentagram on the wall right across from the shelves where my bibles are. XD I'm very much an "if it feels right, it's fine" sort of person, so I'm not sure why it sometimes takes me so long to give that permission to myself lol.

[@gypsygross4503]

Yes the Bible is used but don't get the king James version find an older one

[@aphaiawyn5361]

I don’t know if you saw it in there, but the dream I had early on in my journey showed me that I could blend Christianity with magick and basically I felt the energy I associated with Jesus/God/the Holy Spirit tell me it’s ok. So I just kept going! 😅

[@Helelsonofdawn]

christianity is evil......matthew explains chaos magick

[@Persnikity-yv3nh]

I love how visual it is! Plus the use of pockets just adds so much personality.

[@tannaorr4133]

Excellent, thanks for sharing!

[@sazuliebe]

I love your Book of Shadows, so inspiring

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you!

[@ElderberrySprout]

Fellow gemini here! I love your collage style! I haven't found anyone who's book is so similar in style to mine! Thank you for sharing! I have quite a few new ideas to add to my book now thanks to you :) I especially love the ideal sacred space photo cutout to match your hand! So clever!

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Yay for geminis! Although I do view myself as more of a Taurus (my moon sign).

[@beanbaghagwag]

Your video magically appeared on my suggestion feed. What a lovely book.

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Oh thank you!

[@asiap3296]

Absolutely beautiful!wow

[@plan4life]

Oh this is so beautiful and interesting and creative. Im not so much into the witchy stuff, but as someone who is heavily interested in junk journalling and art journalling and writing, this is getting me so inspired. Thanks for the share! Looking forward to seeing more 💖

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you so much!

[@Kate-fd8lm]

Can you do a tutorial on how you make your books? Along with how you do pockets? I’d love to make my own and I really like the style of yours

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you! I can probably do that! I'll put it on my list of videos to make.

[@Blkfx38]

I really enjoyed your tour, you have given me some great ideas of things to add in my own. Thank you for sharing

[@berkleigh8504]

Your pages are so beautiful. I love all the little compartments hidden away!

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you so much!

[@tj..aworkinprogress1102]

love your book and the way you have set it out :) i use a matt gel medium to protect my pages because it is a sealant it dries .. whereas Mod podge tell you to apply a clear acrylic sealer after to eliminate the tackiness, or you could try baking paper between the pages that might stop them sticking together , it would be such a shame if one day you couldn't open the pages .. good luck to you for the future :)

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thanks for the tip!

[@vyvyanwormwood]

This is absolutely inspiring! I just saw this. Now I hope I can do something special with my stuff. Whoo boy. How to collect all the notes I have taken over the years into one place would be an act of many many maaaaaany gods. lol - Love- Entie Vy

[@LavenderHazelwood]

Thanks for sharing your book! I love to see what others do with theirs! xo, Aurora

[@anne111963]

I truly feel I was lead to find your channel which I absolutely love.Thank you Goddess Hecate for this and also Aphaiawyn If i hadn't been lead to you I would never have found this beautiful song by S J Tucker Witches Rune. Many blessings to you from Melbourne Australia. p.s looking forward to seeing more of your work. Subscribed for life.

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Awww thank you so much!

[@Cuteglamshopper]

Such a lovely and inspiring book . ❤️ thx for sharing

[@bloodsweatandsteel.2749]

Your Book of shadows/ Grimsby is a wonderful work of creativity and art. I think Brigid would approve. No wonder she has called to you. Thank you for sharing this. Its Beautiful.

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!

[@AmandaWojahn]

Very beautiful also our sun and moon are flipped 😊

[@WatchJolene]

I love Witch's rune as well! It's by S.J. Tucker and they got some other really great songs as well, like Come to the labyrinth, you should check it out!

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thanks, I will! I just couldn't remember the name at the moment :)

[@moonsinger8408]

It appears to be based on a poem by Doreen Valiente who, in case you didn't know, was one of Gerald Gardner's High Priestesses and helped him re-do the Book of Shadows to remove most of the Aleister Crowley influences.

[@pewpewcat7679]

Just a tip I've seen some junk journal makers do this, if you want to make your own book you can bind your signatures and for the cover, if you aren't above/opposed to doing this, you can repurpose a hardcover from a book that isn't important to you, maybe some thrifted book. You can dress this hardcover up in any way you like. It's a good skeleton to work with. Oh and another thought, you could put wax paper between those pages that are sticking together because of the mod podge because eventually it will very likely mess up your pages if they are constantly stuck together and pulled apart

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you! I thought about using an existing book cover and actually created another book based on that premise. And the wax paper idea is perfect, thanks!

[@LittleRedTeaCake]

Beautiful and inspiring!! You can also dust the pages with cornstarch to keep them from sticking!

[@theimperfectscrapper5313]

This looks like a labour of love and dedication! Absolutely beautiful and inspiring 😍

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you! It definitely is. I love working on this book because I know the more I work on it, the more energy I pour into it, and the more powerful a tool it becomes.

[@DangerNoodlexoxo]

I love your book 😍 my style is definitely junk journal/scrap booky kinds of Books and yours is so nice.

[@StrawbeareBeauty]

I love it! Very artistic and creative way to create a book. I love the little pockets everywhere. :)

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@hekatesjynx987]

Had that same issue with pages sticking. I waited too long and ended up with pages stuck together and when I separated them I had bits of the paper that lifted up. After multiple touch ups and a few minor hissy fits later, I researched what to do. Best thing I've found is Tim Holtz's Micro Glaze. It comes in this tiny little jar and you're gonna say, no way am I spending $$ for that little bit, but seriously it just takes a minuscule amount on your fingertip. Rub it on the page then take a paper towel and wipe it down to get any excess off. I promise you won't regret it. I also found out wax works, too. If you can't get the micro glaze, use a plain white candle - no dye - and rub it on your page as a quick fix. I used a tea light candle. Love your book and hope to see more. Blessings.

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you so much for the tip and compliment!

[@debrafrei4717]

You can wax your pages with beeswax to protect them and keep them from sticking. Also smells amazing.

[@huanjin5202]

This is absolutely beautiful

[@vickyvalerie]

Lovely video and inspirational too. I love the way it is well organised, this is one thing I seem to struggle with, so seeing yours will help me with mine.. I love the little pockets on some of the pages and different text`s of paper/card. I`ve been making notes to put into my book for a couple of years, and I feel now is the time to put it together. I started one, but I have decided to start another and use notes from the first one.. It is a lovely book you have made for yourself. Thank you for sharing it. :-)

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Thank you for the kind words! I don't feel like my book is really organized at all besides a few sections like the elements and the sabbats. But thank you anyway!

Hey :) You can totaly keep protecting your pages with modge podge but to make them non sticky just pass a candle (roll the side on it) or wax on them and it shall be ok. ^^

i’m restarting my book of shadows since i wasn’t happy with it. i hope to do better and put more effort into it. this time i think i’m going to write on sheets of paper and put them in a cool looking binder for now. :)

[@aphaiawyn5361]

I've restarted my BOS I don't know how many times! You got this!

[@HeartOfArt7]

Wow, your grimoire is so pretty ^^ 💗 I wish my own book of shadows was actually as pretty and creative as the ones I've seen on KZbin 😅 But at least it's completely mine, so it's still very personal and precious to me. Videos like these give me a lot of cool ideas how I can actually improve and decorate my book of shadows, though 👍🏻

[@msfelicia28]

This looks SO good! I'm shooting for this style too, bit have a 6-ring leather binder so I can move the pages around. Though now I'm thinking I need this style!

[@aphaiawyn5361]

Do whatever works best for you! I originally thought I wanted a book with the post binding so I could move pages around, but after watching a video by Molly Roberts here on KZbin, I decided I wouldn't worry so much about organizing it, and it would organize itself organically. But I totally get wanting to move pages later, and I've seen some wonderful books that have that ability!
