Grimoire girl: creating an inheritance of magic and mischief
(Book)
Description
"Through memoir essays and magical practices, Grimoire Girl connects us to the enchantment that exists inside us all. Since childhood, Hilarie Burton Morgan has felt the call to record, keep, and catalogue life in all its strange wonder. It was a whimsical habit, with no clear goal. And then, when she became a mother, the importance of all that collecting snapped into focus. In an effort to patchwork together an anthology of traditions, curiosity, and magical thinking that she could pass down, Burton Morgan realized she was crafting a grimoire. In her most intimate book yet, Burton Morgan shares how she's creating an inheritance of mischief and magic that will outlive her. What's more, she shows readers how they too can look at the elements of their lives and collect the pieces into a tangible collection of a lifetime of learning. Because in its purest form, a grimoire was a guide to keep you alive. Like the grimoires of old, full of life-saving wisdom, these pages record the people, places, ideas and habits that have kept Burton Morgan alive, in her signature voice that is at once honest, witty, and charming. Accompanied by whimsical two-color illustrations by Olivia Faust, the book also includes Simple Spells, which are ways to bring magic into your daily life such as: Create an altar that delights and inspires, Practice candle magic and poetry spells, Make an oracle deck, Channel your inner kitchen witch with recipes and potions. So begin creating your own inheritance, take a long look inward and decide... What wisdom will be written on the pages of your Grimoire?"--Provided by publisher.
