How to Make a Magical Grimoire from Old Magazines
A little mini course showing you how to turn a forgotten old magazine into a beautiful grimoire of your very own — ready to fill with art, symbols and magic.
Is this you?
You'd love a grimoire of your own — somewhere to keep your art, your symbols, your spells — but the shop-bought blank books feel a bit, well, soulless. And there's a stack of old magazines gathering dust that you can't quite bring yourself to put in the recycling.
What if those were the same problem, with one rather lovely solution?
What it is
This is a little step-by-step mini course showing you exactly how to turn an old magazine into a magical grimoire — a book that begins as something ordinary and becomes wholly, beautifully yours.
(It's drawn from my Wheel of the Year course, set free on its own so anyone can learn the technique — with or without the big course.)
What you'll learn
I'll walk you through every step, from choosing the right magazine to building the finished book: selecting your materials, preparing the pages, and turning the whole thing into a sturdy, characterful grimoire ready to fill with your own symbols, spells and artwork.
By the end you'll have a one-of-a-kind grimoire to be proud of — and a technique you can come back to again and again.
A word from me
I first made this as part of my Wheel of the Year course — but the technique felt far too good to keep locked away in there. So I set it free on its own, so anyone could learn how to turn old magazines into magical books, whether they had the big course or not.
It's one of my favourite little bits of magic: something forgotten becoming something treasured.
