Want to take a look at my Witchy Junk Journals? | Grimoire Update and Flip-through

[@analuisahering2043]

That was WILD !!!! Your Grimoires feel like MOVIES with all their ups and downs, color and mood changes, dialogues/monologues said in anger, serenity or joy, changes in scenery, abrupt endings... Wow 😳Thank you so much for sharing 😍

[@Sarahbeck360]

Your grimoire is so chaotic, I love it. I really like the more junk journal style grimoires

[@DaniMystic]

My brain thrives on the chaos of it all 😆 it feels free, I guess!

[@amber.cartomancer]

Im 55 now. My grandmother took me to meet my great grandmother in Campti LA when I was 8. It was more than just another world. Time seemed to stand still. I wish I had the presence of mind to ask questions when i got older. In many ways i thought they would always be here😢❤😊

[@dyzcordia]

Watching this video is totally making me want to start crafting a Grimoire! 🖤

[@Kec3124]

I had to stop this video in the middle to comment this: I was born east of Baton Rouge, but I moved to Acadiana ten years ago, and I knew instantly that it was my home. Though I'm not Cajun by blood, I love learning about my chosen home and its traditions through any venue I can so that I can respect those who lived here before me (and their descendents). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences! 😊

[@angelofmusic997]

This definitely gets me wanting to do a journal again. I always start a journal before dropping off about a third of the way through, losing motivation. But maybe I should make that another 2024 goal: start a journal and finish it by the end of 2024...

[@dreaming.willow]

Dear, Dani. I really love this video and your amazing talent of storytelling, through your words, the images and your craft. “I stoped the time to do this” - it is a true intentional magic. Thank you for inviting and giving a glimpse inside your world.

[@lulumoon9]

I really love that you added the whole section on your ancestry. I'm inspired!

[@instagamrr]

Oh my goodness, it’s been a wile since I’ve stopped by and you’re like a whole new person!

Acadian witch here, nice to come across a kindred corner of the witchy web🔥🦄

[@DaniMystic]

Oooh yay!! 🙌💖

[@sliceofmini]

You can really tell you enjoyed the second one more , it just has so much soul in it.. every page just packed with awesome goodness.. I don’t even belong in this niche and yet I’m in love ! ❤

[@paperstorycraft]

I love this. My bos is just my journal which I use for everything.

[@gh0st.with.the.m0st]

Dani you look so beautiful, I just had to comment on that first and foremost. ❤️ Your Grimoire is amazing, I love it so much! I got so happy when I saw your birth time because my daughter was also born at 3:07am!! 😂 Too cute. All the best to you in 2024. 🙏

[@DaniMystic]

Thank you so much!! Same to you!

[@Swt.Designs]

This warms my heart soooo much. It is UTTERLY N ENTIRELY the bloodline that drives you. Being born in Baton Rouge of cajun folk I see these pages n I feel home. I’ve been on a journey for years of the same concept. Seeing those elders in my family pass one after the other n noticing my children/grans/greatgrans, etc never going to know out side of what lil is in history books (laughs at THAT concept) pushes me to document what I’ve seen. My mother, now 80 n the last living elder of our family on this earth I feel my bloodline call to me, even scream to me at times “WRITE DOWN HER EVERY WORD”. Remembering my granny in her kitchen (an outside shed) her humming as she shucked peas. Talking to us about how her father was a Spanish seamen n landed on Louisiana shores saved his money n became a citizen n sent for his bride n so we began. How when my mother’s french bloodline blended well with my father’s makes me long for pasted days. Stories of my two great grandmothers being in same house, one speaking only French n other only Spanish n neither understanding the other for a while. It’s these stories that DNA tests won’t tell you. At the end of the day… after elders pass, there is only “recorded information”, so it’s up to us to RECORD our experience information so future generations will know more than what ancestry .com will tell them. If not us… then who? My end thought n by the way so sorry for what seems like gibberish of a comment… I tell my niece in Phoenix… “sha (my pet name ofc from cajun granny), birth records will tell you who your people were, but I will tell you HOW your ppl were.” Such a precious book, congratulations as an older Cajun woman who misses her bayou, I’m so proud of you n happy for your future generations.

[@DaniMystic]

This. Oh My heart ♥️

[@angelbabesuz1612]

I love your grimoires, the pages are amazing! I honestly never know what to write in mine, a few lines and I'm done, I so wish I could create such magic! 🤗 TFS 💜

[@carriesmysticalmusings]

Your grimoire is brilliant. Loved all your pages, thanks for sharing 😊

[@jessicareid517]

Thank you for sharing. I always have to remind myself that my grimorie is a tool just like my tarot is a tool. When I remind myself that it is a tool I don't get caught up in "what" it should look like.

[@MarjorieComeau]

Couple John Lennon quotes I like: We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight. John Lennon I cannot be what I am not. John Lennon I really really loved your grimoire! It's just the kind of thing I want to make for myself, but didn't know what to call it. And I love your enthusiasm for the place of your birth, that's so refreshing! Thank you.

[@HoneyLouWilson]

So beautiful and inspiring. Love your nails and ring. You have pretty hands and a gorgeous face. Also I love the quote “and don’t think you don’t have beauty”

[@DaniMystic]

Thank you so much!! 🩷🩷🩷

[@hushingsilence]

This was wonderful!! I make so many books for so many similar reasons and topics, but for some reason, hesitated on my Grimoire. This is the best inspiration ever: "I showed up". And to keep the rules boundless, and enjoy the book! Do as we please in them, not stick to some formal Tome-type book. That's what was turning me off about it, but nope, it's a "do as you please" deal. My mindset has been fixed. Thank you!!

[@kayetompsett8723]

Hi Dani! I just got home from work. It's a rainy day here in my little part of Ontario. Hope you had a great Yule/Christmas. Excited to see your grimoires.

[@mariafrancescademaddis2560]

Absolutely loved this. Thanks for showing us that we can make messes and be VERY happy about it. Looking forward to your next grimoire ❤

[@LunchboxDrop-0uts765]

Thanks for the post Dani,Really appreciate the videos 😊😊

[@Callypso06]

I'm in the middle of the video but I had to pause and comment 😄 - your grimoire is so creative and full of inspiration! I always struggle with the structure of my grimoires (I have archer&olive and similar ones), I'm thinking that I need to leave space if I need to write more, I need to work in sections etc. etc. But your approach is very freeing and inspiring 🤍. Now I really want to get creative and start journaling 😄

[@DaniMystic]

Yesssss!!! Take off the restrictions and let loose 🙌🙌🙌

[@Lisa_Papez]

OH wow I LOVVVVVED this.... thank you for sharing this... so inspiring! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Fnoee]

I read some comments to see if anyone else told you so but not all of them It has to be said your handwriting may be messy to you but it's GORGEOUS to me

[@felicityb4949]

I feel so much more comfortable feeling like I don’t have to finish a journal in one year. I used to try & ended up with blanks at the end & since I didn’t use them I would often gift them for others beginning a junk journal

[@aaronbisnett]

That's all fantastic info! Thank you for sharing your work and your practice! ⭐

[@rondeux]

Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring and creative!

[@ali20222]

I can't even express how much this video fed my soul ✨

[@DaniMystic]

💕💕💕💕

[@sugarbunify]

This was so fun to watch!! 🥰 Thank you for sharing this with us! ❤ Reminded me a lot of the old days when I would do the same sort of thing in moleskine journals, or sketchbooks. It’s been a while since I’ve managed to get things written or drawn on physical pages, but I have a big hot mess on a digital journal I’ve been upkeeping these days. 😊 Can’t lie, though, this made me wanna go dig up some of my dozens of notebooks I have laying around in storage to fill up. ❤

[@carols-cauldron]

I loved this! You've inspired me so much that I am saving it for reference!

[@LynnLBE]

I am just watching this video from 3 months ago. I really love your journal, grimoire. I like that you include art & photos along with great information. This is the type of book I like to do also. Enjoyed it🦋🦋🦋

[@amandabucci2777]

It was such an interesting video. I took notes in my own notebook on the things that inspired me ❤ It’s also prompted me to research Cajun / Louisiana Acadian which as someone from UK, it’s not something I’ve ever learnt about. So that was eye opening. I’m going to include a quote from you in my notebook if that’s ok. “Sometimes just the act of pasting something that I found on this piece of paper made me interact with it. It’s a special kind of magic like I stopped time to do this. It can be as much or as little as you want. It doesn’t have to be beautiful. Just interacting with your book, gluing some thing on a piece of paper. Just showing up” Thanks for sharing your book x

[@DaniMystic]

💕💕💕

[@rebeccarodger2636]

I will now be making a ouija board, casting mat, and Pendulum Compas on my giant fold out page 😊 I've had that blank page for almost 2 decades and never knew what to do with it. I have a binder so what better use than to take it out and speak to the spirits. I will also be laminating it with packing tape 😂 cause that makes my heart happy and will protect the page for forever

[@AmandaPelland]

Such a perfect time to finish your grimoire, being the end of the calendar year.

[@thefrostypea4040]

So much wonderful information in one small book. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing.

I agree about the number 13. It has always been my lucky number and like you said is part of so many of the cycles in our lives.

[@DaniMystic]

My favorite number 🙌💕

[@FirestyledSamaurai]

It's beautiful! Thanks for letting me see your "mess." I can't make a neat journal either. That HP party sounda so cute. YEAH! That happened to me with the Guesso. Good idea with buying all the books.

[@KristySlicker]

Love these!! I am getting ready to start one, would love to get some witchies together to maybe do some ATC trading too.

I love your journal and how unique it it and I just bought mines and I haven’t started yet and I’m still deciding what to put in it and I wish I could do a family tree in mines but I don’t know enough about my ancestors or my lineage but I do have somewhat an idea of what I’m mixed with and i might added into it and I live almost five hours away from Louisiana I’m in the Houston Area.

[@elineeugenie5224]

I screenshot the Baba Yaga spread real fast❤🖤Dani you're inspiring me always!! Good luck to you and yours in the new year 🐅🍀☘️🌳

[@KarmicAngel]

I love those and would love to keep one but what I am keeping is things I've done and a small book of sigils I've made and used with their spells. I find that after a lifetime of practice (I'm 56) I just don't write down info I already know. These are my books and if they are wanted by anyone in the family, they'll just have to figure them out lol. I do love yours tho

[@bloomwiththestars]

I love these. Thank you so much for sharing. You're very creative! I'd love to know how you insert things like the plastic card holders into the notebook.

[@DaniMystic]

I make the book myself, so when I create the signatures I add these little plastic sheets (for business or collectible cards, that usually go in binders). I usually cut them how I want them, set them in my book pages and then punch holes for the thread and stitch them in with the rest of the book!

[@bloomwiththestars]

[@kimberleyhooley853]

I love your style. Definitely inspiring! What is the cover of your handmade book made out of? 😊

[@DaniMystic]

It’s a thick textured paper and it’s actually quite durable - at least it handles my chaos 😂

[@thaichillipepper]

It appears more to be a Book of Shadows vs a Grimoire; Book of Shadows as a personal diary or magical record and Grimoire - a book collection of spells and rituals like an instruction manual

[@DaniMystic]

Yes, it has both of those within plus it’s an art magick space

[@geminigreywolf6655]

Gostei do seu grimório, muito caprichado, um glimório de menina, todo enfeitado, o meu é digitado com letras próprias para isso, tenho neuropatia que dificulta escrever de letra de forma discursiva, sou da umbanda e candomblé, digito e imprimo, não tem nada de arte, só fundamentos mágicos dados pelos espíritos, guias da umbanda, e meu sacerdote .
