Rootskeeping 301: Scrapbooking for Wizards
Credits: 2
Level: 3
Instructor: "Dean Meighen"
Class Description:

Gone are the days of taping some photos into a blank book. As a creative outlet, scrapbooking is a great way to express yourself, preserve a memory and not have to worry about your ability to sketch or paint.  But how can such a craft help an aspiring wizard learn and grow in The Craft?  Oh, in so many ways!

The craft of scrapbooking is not just a way to put down a record of things that have gone by, but a way of continuing the exploration of the subject of the page.  If you haven’t already started one, you will soon start a magickal journal.  But a scrapbook can be so much more than just a journal of thoughts.  It is a record of events, a creative outlet, an exercise in organizational ability and editing!  It is a wonderful source to track your development and a way to give voice to your inner-self.

In this course we will explore some of the nuts and bolts of scrapbooking. Tools, tips, and tricks will be examined as well as some basics that need to be considered before starting any scrapbook page, not the least of which is where you are going to put the page when you are finished!  At the end of this course, you will have at least two pages to start your own wizardly scrapbook.  And trust me, not so many years from now, you will enjoy reviewing those pages and seeing how far you have come! 

Class Objectives

This class will provide the student an opportunity to

  • discover the different types of scrapbooks available,
  • identify the general tools used in scrapbooking,
  • develop the basics of organization,
  • view some ways of looking at design and composition of a scrapbook page,
  • demonstrate bringing all the elements together into one cohesive unit,
  • demonstrate methods of protecting your art when finished, and
  • learn an alternative way to create and maintain a magical journal.

Required Materials:

Students will need access to a craft store that carries scrapbook supplies. They will need to purchase materials to create at least four pages and should also purchase or own a place to hold those pages (an album).  Cost will depend on the student’s design. It might be as little as $10 or as much as $40+! The student will need a camera or a scanner to send pictures of their finished product to the instructor.


Estimated Completion Time: 1 month
Prerequisites:

None 


Safety Precautions:

Scrapbooking uses sharp cutting tools like scissors and paper cutters and caution is advised. Also, some students might use permanent ink pens which will be permanent on more than just paper.  Small embellishments could be a choking hazard to small children and animals. Please use common sense when working with scrapbook supplies and watch out for paper cuts.

The long, dark months have always provided people with time to retire to their metaphoric caves and reflect upon the cycles of life. The word “holy” means “whole.” In this class, we will use ideas of “holiness” and “wholeness” as a way to help you search for wholeness of spirit and soul and contemplate your relationship with self, other beings, and the universe.

Note: Students will only be admitted to this class during the period around the winter solstice; for students in the Northern hemisphere, this means late November-January while in the Southern hemisphere it will mean late May-July.
