The Handmade Grimoire with Laura Derbyshire

The White Witch Podcast

In this cozy, creative episode, I’m joined by the magical Laura Derbyshire — witch, writer, and creator of The Handmade Grimoire — to talk all things paper, spellcraft, and sacred storytelling.

Together, we explore:

✨ What makes a grimoire truly yours

🖋️ The art of crafting your magical book by hand

🌿 How to infuse intention, creativity, and spirit into every page

📜 Different ways to approach grimoire-keeping (even if you’re not a “neat” witch!)

🕯️ How working with your grimoire can become a spiritual practice of its own

🌑 Why it’s okay to tear things out, start over, or let your magic evolve

Laura shares her wisdom, process, and inspiration behind her own practice and her beautiful new book — a guide for witches, creatives, and anyone longing to build something sacred with their own hands.

Whether your grimoire is a leather-bound tome, a scrappy sketchbook, or a digital journal under the moonlight — this episode will inspire you to honour your magical voice and create something truly enchanting.
