Flowers for the Grimoire
Part Two: The Magick of Calendula
Another little printable for your grimoire! This time we are looking at the lovely zesty flower, Calendula, or common marigold.
I’ve sown a lot this year, and its been quite a slow grower… those floppy leaves however are doing their best in this dry weather, and I’ve been making sure to give them a good water so we can actually get to flowering point!
I’m going to press them this year, and then use their sun-like blooms to adorn my grimoire, and maybe make some very lovely specimen cards from them, so I can start my own pressed flower library.
If you are on the look out for more ideas about how to fill your grimoire, I cover it in my lovely little book The Handmade Grimoire… you can get it from anywhere that sells books, its full of brilliant tips and tricks and information about starting your own grimoire, and the back of it is packed with decorative papers you can tear out!

I bought your book and love it! I'm really not a crafter, but have been craving to write a grimoire like this. I'm about to dive in! Thank you.
I bought your wonderful book a year or so ago💚 I can’t remember where, so can’t leave a review on that platform. I have followed your work since lockdown I think 🤔 and love all you have shared. Sadly with rising cost in Australia & the world, I’ve had to let a lot of my online subscription go☹️ so I am thankful for your book 🥰 I have been making copies of the gorgeous papers you have generously included in your book. That way I can use them many times, in many of my books. Thank you 🥰
