a-bookish-wildling: Amor Veni Cito [2016 Grimoire Challenge - pop culture magic week inspiration. Although I did this before this challenge week, I feel it relates to the theme. I think the “Practical Magic” grimoire is an inspiration for a lot of people’s books. It certainly was/is for me. This page is not from my actual book, but is from my art journal book] Art journal pages inspired by the grimoire from the movie “Practical Magic.” Page made with tissue paper background, decorative papers and vellum, stamping, embroidered trim, pressed rose petals and leaves. The charms, “Amor veni cito” and “Amor te teneo,” are love charms from Valerie Worth’s “The Crone’s Book of Wisdom,” which was republished as “Crone’s Book of Magical Words.” The tag is an “artsy” version of a portable spell card. I make them because I have a bad memory. Although I can memorize stuff, I get nervous about it. I don’t think it’s necessary, at all, to memorize everything, but the idea is that if I can’t have my book with me I can make a little note card to have with me, it relieves my worry about forgetting something and I am less likely to actually forget it. Plus I like making them. -- source link
