Personal Grimoiring and the Swedish Black Books Tradition with Siri Vincent Plouff

Through making art we create the sacred, through recording our magic we  tell true lies. There are many rich traditions of grimoiring and keeping  magical records, and for good reason. Your magical record is one of the  most vital aspects of magical learning. Through keeping a magical  record, you’re able to see what worked, track your progress, and learn  how to live in the rhythm with the world around you. In this workshop,  Siri will teach you about magical record keeping within the Swedish  Black Books - or Svartkonstböcker - tradition. They will also share  techniques to awaken your own Black Book and make it a true conspirator  in your quest for magical and self knowledge. Please bring your own  grimoire for a guided consecration ritual.

This is a 90-120 minute foundational level lecture and workshop
