Re-Opening The Digital Coven Grimoire – A lil’ life Update, and What’s Next

Quick life update and round up of what is coming up this Spooky Season and beyond!

Hello Darlings!

Holy Hecate, what a whirlwind this Spooky Season has been. The astrology was… astrologying, to put it plainly. Anyway, how are y’all holding up?

Firstly, I’m so happy to be back here with you. The truth is, both AJ and I have been navigating the loss of a dear friend recently and needed to take some time away to heal. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster, that’s for sure.

Now, I’m slowly crawling back out of the woodwork (which, I’ve discovered, has been floating in a bog). I guess this means I’ll just have to post some of the spooky season content I’ve been working on straight into November… so, yeah. Spooky Christmas it is, kids! Oh, wait—Gothmas? Both work, honestly.

Weaving Your Magickal Tapestry

Remember, you don’t need to do all the ‘jazzy’ things that you see on social media. Even one small, focused act—like blowing cinnamon across your threshold or taking 5 minutes to set intentions whilst having your morning coffee —is enough to mark a transition with magic and purpose. By taking a few minutes for a simple ritual, you move from passively watching the calendar turn to actively weaving the tapestry of your month.

How have you been welcoming this powerful season? Share your thoughts in the comments below—I’d love to hear from you.

About the Book

Mean Girls meets manifestation and murder…

Sixteen-year-old Morgana Merrick rules Avalon Academy with an iron fist—feared, powerful, and untouchable. But after a confrontation with her half-brother’s surfer crew, she turns to her Book of Shadows, crystals, and charm bags, asking the universe for justice.

When her frenemies start facing eerie consequences, Morgana believes her manifestations are working—until someone ends up dead.

Is the universe obeying her will? Or is someone else pulling the strings? With sapphic romance, dark academia vibes, and a killer twist, this is perfect for fans of Heathers, Holly Jackson, and Sue Wallman.

Witchy Type Book Club Review: Seasons For The Soul -Julia Van Den Bosch

Witchy Type Book Club Review: Emma reviews ‘Seasons For The Soul’ -Julia Van Den Bosh

Seasons For The Soul: Spells Of Nature 

The Embroidered Art of Julia Van Den Bosch 

Please note that this book was gifted for a review and may feature some affiliate links. For more information on our affiliate policy click here.

I was excited to receive this book. I had recently taken up embroidery as a hobby so a book mixing this current hyper fixation with witchcraft was always going to excite me. I wasn’t disappointed. I was presented with a book that expressed the beauty and magic of nature seen through the eye of a needle. The author uses hand embroidery in its traditional role of storytelling to share personal insights on nature’s gifts. Each stitch holds the emotion of the moment and keeps a record. Written during the pandemic, the book tells the story of the companionship and healing offered by the seasons during the enforced isolation of the pandemic, and how it enabled the artist to find beauty in solitude in their garden and beyond.

The imagery is beautiful and I admit that it got me started on a few hand embroidery projects, which made me appreciate Van Den Bosh skill even more. This style of embroidery is HARD.

About the Author: 

Julia Spent her childhood in the Kent countryside and now lives happily with her family of animals in an old cottage in Surrey (Sounds Fabulous!) 

After an exciting period of flying on Concorde, she reconnected with her spiritual side and decided to rediscover the gift of the smaller, yet still miraculous, marvels that lay within her own garden instead. Rediscovering her creative side, she found hand embroidery was the perfect way for her to share the beauty and magical life of nature, in all its sumptuous colour, texture and detail. She now shares these passions in her latest book. 

Review: 

I really enjoyed this book upon first reading and have found myself coming back to it. The imagery is something that I find myself revisiting so it would make a fantastic artist reference or coffee table book. The author shares unique and elevating insight into herbs, plants, crystals and more which any witch would appreciate. Some of the recipes may have hard to find ingredients but not impossible especially when they are in season. The photography is fantastic and helps bring the embroideries out onto the page, I still wish I could see them in person though! The detail of the work is spellbinding and it makes you begin to see pieces of fabric, old clothing and some cotton in a completely new way, Oh the possibilities! 

I mean look at this:

Rating: 8.5

Overall I really liked this book and it certainly will get any crafty types reaching for their sewing kit and practicing free hand embroidery. It would be a great gift for someone who is a professional or budding seamstress, crafter, or just ADHD afflicted like me and looking for some creative inspiration.  

Do you use craft and embroidery in any of your witchcraft, coven? If so let us know below or via our social channels. 

Until next time, darlings!
