Why I created “The Intuitive Witch’s Coloring Grimoire”…

When I began working on The Intuitive Witch’s Coloring Grimoire, I was aiming to create more than a simple coloring book. Still, I didn’t expect how deeply personal the process would become, or how much of myself would be shaped and clarified along the way.

Although I immensely enjoyed the creation process, it was not effortless. The book emerged slowly, through iteration, frustration, patience, breath and love.

Creating with AI: not magic, but dialogue

When I started on this journey, my primary goal was to explore the publishing process through Amazon, utilizing tools like Canva, ChatGPT and Midjourney. I was eager to see how everything would come together. Along the way, I found myself driven by an overwhelming desire to express my creativity, which turned the project into a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and artistic growth.

As a result, a big part of this book was created in collaboration with AI – and I want to be honest about what that actually looked like. It wasn’t pressing a button and getting perfect images.

It was:

• writing prompts, refining them, rewriting them again

• getting images that were almost right, but not quite

• losing patience with tools, proportions, lines, or details

• closing everything, breathing, and starting again from scratch

• iterating endlessly until something finally felt right

There were days when I thought “Why is this so hard?”, and then moments when an image suddenly clicked – and I knew I couldn’t let it go.

AI became less of a shortcut and more of a conversation. A mirror. A way to test intuition against form.

Learning to pause instead of forcing

Some of the most important moments in creating this book came when I stopped pushing.

When prompts weren’t working, when editing tools felt clumsy, when nothing aligned – I learned to step away. To breathe. To trust that forcing clarity never works, creatively or spiritually.

Often, when I came back, I rewrote the prompt from a completely different place. Simpler. More intuitive. Less “trying to control the outcome.”

And that shift – away from perfection, toward presence – shaped the entire book. As you browse through the pages, you’ll discover the drawings embrace a delightful imperfection, beautifully reflecting spontaneity and creativity – instead of conforming to strict standards of perfection.

Choosing what truly belongs

As the illustrations evolved, so did the question: What actually belongs in this grimoire?

I didn’t want to include things just because they are traditionally “witchy.” I wanted everything to come from what I genuinely love and return to, again and again:

• crystals and their quiet, symbolic serenity

• layered meanings that unfold over time

• symbols that don’t explain themselves immediately

• imagery that invites contemplation rather than instruction

Each theme was chosen slowly, intentionally and often revised. I kept asking myself: Would I return to this page? Would it still speak to me in a year?

The most creatively alive I’ve ever felt

I can say this without exaggeration: I have never felt more creatively alive than while working on this book.

It asked me to slow down, to sit with uncertainty and to trust intuition over control. To choose meaning over speed, depth over perfection and presence over outcome.

I was thinking deeply about meaning, intuition, symbolism and restraint. About when to add, and when to leave space. About trusting that less explanation often creates more depth.

This book became a reflection of how I want to move through the world: intuitively, patiently and with care.

A labor of love, page by page

By the time The Intuitive Witch’s Coloring Grimoire was finished, every page carried a story:

• of iterations that didn’t work

• of images that almost made it, but didn’t

• of moments of doubt followed by clarity

• of choosing alignment over speed

Nothing here is accidental. And nothing is meant to be perfect.

It’s meant to be lived with. Colored slowly. Returned to. Reinterpreted.

Who I made this for

I created this book for people who:

• love depth, symbolism and quiet meaning

• appreciate the imperfect beauty of handmade things – even when Artificial Intelligence is part of the process

• crave creative rituals without rules

• feel drawn to witchcraft as language, not dogma

You don’t need to know how it was made to enjoy it – but I wanted you to know that it was made with intention, persistence and love.
