Each of the characters also resonated with the element they represented. Bonnie was burned by fire and had scars. Rachelle was a diver (water and the west) Sarah lost her Mother (by the powers of Mother and Earth) Nancy ended up going mentally insane (Air and the mind)
💐🌷🌺🪻🌹🌹🌹🌼🌻🌻🌸Great video! I listened to the whole series on Audible. So much more to the story. Really enjoyed all the information and hope to be coming back for more from you.
I had a daily practice back when I was trying to figure my practice out. I would read a whole lot, and everyday I would try out something new. Whether that be a new method of astral travel, or a new method of cleansing, etc. And I would try one thing every day. But now, I have a much better understanding of magick and my beliefs and how I like to practice. Certainly no shame to daily practices, I loved mine when I had it. However, I also think there’s something to be said about growth when you’re ready to leave your daily practice, and trust that you’ll know when magick is needed and how to go about it without the use of a daily practice. Just my two cents, would love to hear other thoughts
The first Tarot deck I bought was the Kawaii Tarot. It was cheap and I liked it back then, but now I'm not a big fan of it anymore. The symbols are extremely simple and minimalistic. Now I use the Waite Tarot most of the time. ⭐
As a shop owner I put the sticker over the isbn because employees scan the isbn instead of the price barcode and it won’t ring up on our point of sale. It’s annoying. I feel bad watching you get frustrated about it though. 🤦🏽♀️
Your shelf looks organized and clean. It looks like it can breathe again. You inspired me to go back through my books, too! I work with deities, so I tend to organize my books by what they want to teach me so with say Apollo - all my books on philosophy, tarot, art magic, sun magic, etc. goes on his shelf. Most of the other books that do not fit that strict category, or I just pulled naturally on my own interests goes on what I consider as a "general learning hub" so a few beginner books, intermediate books, etc go to live there. I used to have an elemental cube shelf that I had decorated at some point, so strictly elemental based books went on there. It was kinda hard to fit the Void books sometimes, but I made it work for the most part 😊 It was also cool to read through the comments too to see what other people's systems were. Thanks for all you do Hearth! ❤
Get some Zippo lighter fluid, a soft lint free cloth, and Q-tips. Use some fluid on a Q-tip and run it along the edge of the sticker furthest away from the edge of the cover of the book. wait a little and check if some of the sticker can be lifted. Repeat until the sticker comes off, and use the soft loth with a little fluid on it to remove any residue. You might want to check the cover of the book in a small area to make sure the lighter fluid does not harm the book. If you are uncomfortable with using lighter fluid then you can try using a hair dryer on medium and heat the sticker for about 40 seconds and check to see if the sticker has warmed and started to loosen. Once it starts to loosen peel slowly. when it get hart to peel then reheat. You can remove the residue by rubbing it with an eraser (rubber) or a soft cloth with a little Goo-Be-Gone.
I tend to organize my books by category then by author. Or at least I try 😅 Sometimes the categories do overlap, and in the case I typically put those books with others written by the same author. I do have books that I’ve been given my other practitioners in my family and those I am still deciding on a system aside from just being put together in the same at. I just moved and all of my books are packed but I’m hoping to get them unpacked soon!
I was going to share a picture of my book collection and it wouldn't let me😢. Love your collection and that Yellow shirt looks awesome on you. Blessings to you Hearth 💫💜
This year I tried a free app titled My Library which allows you to scan using your phone. It saves to your phone and then you can export the library to your laptop as an Excel spreadsheet. It sometimes gets the published date in the wrong format, so you need to correct the date to save. I also export the data frequently, as I don't trust phone data storage. May not be for everyone, but it's better than manual entry for folks on a budget.
What the What the What the what the WHAT????? Now I need one of those thingies too! Thank you, Horde Gremlin And then all the other stuff? Too much mind-blowingness in one vid!!!!!!! !
📚📗📖 I keep my “to be read in the next year” books on one shelf. I keep my most referenced books together in another spot. Then I have a section of favorite authors (Cunningham, Crowley, Dion Fortune, Gardner, Joseph Campbell, Pearson, R J Stewart, etc.). Finally, the rest go in alphabetical order, leaving a little space on each shelf for new books. That said, I have three piles of rarely used books in a corner, each stack is three feet high (the corner supports them). Trust me, your book collection will always expand to exceed your shelf space. 😸 Your Merlin’s Creatures book reminds me of The Runes of Elfland. Be careful adding things to your wall! Old walls sometimes strongly dislike intrusions.
Hi Hearth, I've just started watching but can I suggest a display cabinet....a cabinet of curiosities almost...for all your beautiful pieces that aren't books. 😊
Thank you so much for this video. I have tried to manually make a database of my book collection, it takes so long. I got one of those scanners recently but I have been afraid to start using it. It appears as if Goodreads worked well for you. Perhaps I will finally do this my self.
Great video. I got some great book ideas which have gone on my list of books to buy. Because books can be put into more than one topic and therefore difficult sometimes to decide exactly where to put it, I decided to use an tried and true organization system, the Dewey decimal system. I make labels with the DD# for each book. For a digital library catalogue, I use Library Thing's library catalogue called Tiny Cat (I live in Canada - not sure if it is worldwide or a Canadian site). It is free and they say you can load as many books as you want (my library is around 350). It is very easy to search for the books you are looking for. It helps me not duplicate books too (ha!). There have been many times I thought a book looked really good and I should get it only to find I already had it. Tiny cat search helps me find books on the shelf too since my books aren't arranged by topic. I love Tiny Cat.
I loved this video!!! Thank you for going over your organization of your book collection. When you realized there were books left out, I totally saw myself doing the same thing. Absolutely love all your content but the books are my favorite 📚📚📚📚📚
I would totally recommend a storage trolley for all of your extra books! They are generally used for storing art supplies but, they are just as useful for storing books. 📚
This is actually kind of nostalgic. I used to scan books in the back of a charity shop and had the same reaction when there were price stickers on the barcode 😂 Great video! 📚📖
For the pamphlets, you can get plastic type sheets they make for comic books to preserve them? Also loved The Spiderwick Chronicles and would love to have his field guide! I keep all my bookmarks together, I keep all my special editions together, and I organize books in no particular order which makes it so hard to find them sometimes…😂 but I have organized chaos, so I know where they are, but I don’t have as many books as you…so… that. 😂
Really enjoyed watching this process and hearing you talk about the different books. I too love National Trust and am a life member (a kind gift on marriage). I got a couple of fab books on leylines and ruins from one of their shops. I currently have books all over the place so need to do some of my own sorting!!
I love you so much my first book on witchcraft is witchcraft theory and practice' and got 5000 book of spells great books thanks so much for your videos I love you all ways ❤❤❤📘📘📘📘📕📚
Books are very useful in that I organize my bookshelf by its physical size, from big book to small ones and also colors from dark to bright or cold to warm. I use the principle of judging them by the cover because that is the most important part. Say if I need a hard covered book to use as a single use plate with a tissue on top then I know which size of the plate to get from which level really quickly or a pizza which is very urgent when you need a fitting book to put under you know, otherwise the grease and the cheese leaks on the sofa without the book plates, which is bad because the greasy cheese is the real sauce and i will resent the sofa if it gets it in lieu of me. Then I will have to conduct a meeting with the sofa to talk about its recent exhibiting of gluttonous behaviour in the living space, which sets an immoral precedence for its colleagues such as chair or floors, of which I have to make an example out of and discipline the sofa by putting it on probation for the next month and if it does it again i take real action against it such as a restraining order and so on. Sometimes I wonder if the book and the sofa conspires behind my back to get my sauce because at the end of each pizza session, I end up only getting so much of it and the real good sauce is stolen by the deviant criminals, that are the living room furnitures.
Not unlike some books, I'm also not great suited for children as well. Because in general I'm not suited at all. Reason being that I dislike wearing them. 🕴
Moreover about my reading habits, I rarely buy new books nowadays because I have this weird fetish about matching the color of my book and the color of my clothing because if I am reading a certain color of books that day, I only wear a matching color clothings so that it is correct. So when I go to a bookstore, I have to bring a lot of clothes in to try them out, which most of the time is not worth it because I also don't like bringing loads of clothings to a bookstore as that's like a hassle you know.
