Since childhood, actor, producer, and New York Times bestselling
author Hilarie Burton Morgan has felt compelled to record and keep,
to collect and catalogue life in all its strange wonder. It was a
fanciful habit with no clear goal. And then, when she became a
mother, the importance of all that collecting snapped into focus.
Before she could help these brand-new souls figure out who they
were, she had to go back and understand who she was. Which parts of
life were worth keeping and which were meant to be discarded? What
legacy did she want to leave? She dug through attics and basements,
scouring journals, trunks of letters, spellbooks, and trinket
boxes, trying to answer the question, What inheritance can I give
these children that is true and loving and lasting? What will stay
with them when I am gone? As she searched for and collected this
patchwork inheritance to bequeath, she realized what she was doing
was creating a Grimoire. Perhaps the word brings to mind witches
harboring secrets, and that’s not far off. But a grimoire was the
tangible collection of a lifetime of learning. A woman would record
what she’d been taught as a child and add to it throughout her
lifetime. A grimoire was a guide to keep you alive. Like the
grimoires of old, full of life-saving wisdom, these pages record
the things that have kept Hilarie alive, and just might help you
too: people, places, stories. And because it’s important to
infuse magic into daily life, Grimoire Girl also includes
bewitching illustrations and practical ways you can craft an altar,
use poetry spells, flower magic, and recipes for everyday
enchantment. There is magic in all of us. So, start your own look
inward and decide, What will make up your grimoire?Â
