BEAUTIFUL!! My advice to those afraid to start...don't look at it as if there has to be a finish or an end, look at it as an ever-growing ever-changing entity that grows and changes with you! Chip away at it. If you don't feel like working on it non-stop then don't, step away for a while and when inspiration strikes work on it some. I tend have multiple projects going at once so if I don't feel like working in one, I'll go to another. Over time you'll look back and be like wow look at all the stuff I've done, created! Hope that helps anyone struggling because I was in the same boat! 💜

Thank you so much!! Yes, I love Shakespeare, and this quote was so perfect!!!

I came back today to finish the flip through. I would love to see your garden Corregan. It must be wonderful, and your apothecary cabinets must be really interesting. I think you have well and truly achieved your goal of creating a Herbal that feels old and well used. Just love it. You really need to be able to pass this on and others you have made. They're too lovely to be lost. I make witchy journals and I would love to show you some of the pages from them but at this stage I don't have a KZread channel just a Facebook page. Oh, and you have inspired me to continue with my Grimoire. I'm enjoying working in it. Looking forward to your next video.😻

Thank you so much!!! Would you believe I’m a TERRIBLE gardener? Most of my “homegrown” herbs in my apothecary literally grow themselves. If I try to “help “… they die 😢 I’m so glad you’re inspired to work in your own Grimoire. I would love to see them, but I don’t use facebook… would you consider sharing on Instagram?

Just found this video and your channel and I have absolutely fallen in love with your style and personality. Your book is beyond beautiful and you’ve inspired me to get cracking on mine now. Thank you so much x

What a great herbal. I'd been listing herbs, their properties and uses but it was in an A5 sized grimoire I add to & use. (Handy size to carry) And I'd made a footnote that my notes were a drop in the herbal ocean! And thought I should get a printed herbal. Seeing yours inspires me to start making one. I love how you've mixed up the information, writing sideways and in different inks. And your illustrations look great. A thing to treasure. Tfs 🌱

I just found this finished flip through. I'm going to make an herbal like this to pass on to my daughter & her children. Though I've not started. I'm truly inspired! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations. Erryn S.

Priceless! I absolutely love !! TYFS - you put so much into this . I was struggling so I went on the hunt for some inspiration and wow 😮you are so inspiring. And I live the advice because it is soooo true! If ya f’ up your book just keep going! The f’ ups are beautiful. I am starting Apothecary class with SG in January and making my own book. She will guide me every week and keep me on track to learn- so much to learn. This is truly a book of Wisdom- you can hand down to generations. No App with ever take the place if this work of art & knowledge. I am so glad I found your channel.
