Crafting

 Hello one and all! I'd like to share what I am doing right now... I am currently making a Grimoire to auction on eBay when finished. It will make a great gift or display piece for Halloween.

'Some of you may ask, what is a Grimoire?'

Wikipedia describes one as:

" A grimoire (/ɡrɪmˈwɑːr/ grim-WAHR) (also known as a "book of spells") is a textbook of magic, typically including instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination, and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, deities and demons.^[1] In many cases, the books themselves are believed to be imbued with magical powers, although in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires (such as the Bible) have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically. The only contents found in a grimoire would be information on spells, rituals, the preparation of magical tools, and lists of ingredients and their magical correspondence.^{[2][unreliable source?]} In this manner, while all books on magic could be thought of as grimoires, not all magical books should be thought of as grimoires.^[3]"

There are many pictures of Grimoire's. Here are but a few:

These are but a very few of Grimoire covers. The interiors contain anything from witches spells to healing with herbs and spices. You will see that some deal with the black arts and witchcraft, but they don't all. Some are used for evil, and some are just for fun and learning to heal (my daughter's Grimoire was of the last.

At any rate, so this one I am working on is actually made considering it could be used for a Halloween decoration! Put it next to that scary tabletop witch! Or next to that wicked punch you've concocted, and opened to a spell for making poisoned drinks!

Once I have it finished, I will put it on eBay, and I ask that you will go and look at it! Or consider buying it. It will make a bang up good Halloween decoration!
