I'm Effy Wild and I'm a journal artist, writer, teacher, and art witch, and Sweet Trash Journaling (what others might call "Elevated Junk Journaling") is one of my favourite things. The very first class I ever taught was in a simple composition notebook and the practice has grown and grown and grown from there!
This edition of Sweet Trash Journaling will focus on tracking and documenting any spiritual practice we may have or wish to have. This can easily be adapted to anything including sacred texts or other book journaling, meditation practice - really, anything you wish to engage with regularly, but the printables and other content I offer in this workshop will be specific to the care and feeding of a GRIMOIRE.
What's a grimoire?
Essentially, a grimoire is a workbook in which you record and document everything to do with your spiritual practice. Think messy. Think packed full of bits and bobs. Think photos and sketches and glued in worksheets and information you've gleaned from various sources transcribed in your own hand writing. Think junk journal. Think recipe book. Think "Smashbooking" information, herbal correspondences, scribbled notes in the margin.
If you've ever watched Practical Magic or Charmed, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about here, only our Sweet Trash Journal is smaller, more portable, and can be less conspicuous, though it can also be super flashy if that's your preference! You can also "add on" to the Sweet Trash Journal by gluing one journal to the other to create massive volumes!

This was recorded in 2024, but replays have all been added to the classroom!
And I hope to see you in there.
