Grimoire ideas

About you:

How you got started in the craft

Your spiritual journey

Things you connect to (animals, elements, plants, ect)

Types of magic you do

Your natal chart

Your deities (if you have any)

Correspondences:

Remember, you don't need to write down correspondences you will never need! So instead, write about...

Crystals you have/want

Plants you can grow yourself/already have around you. Check your spice cabinet

And list things to use those for! So that would be herb bundles to burn, salves, recipes, and so on.

Other things you can use in magic that you already have

This would be things like sea shells, snail shells, grass, dirt, candles. Get creative!

Other witchcraft stuff:

Your sigils

Planets

The sun/moon +moon phases

Zodiac signs

The elements

Symbolism (animals, shapes, and whatever else you wish to add)

Connecting with Trees

Working with Trees

***Before working with trees, please be knowledgeable about them. There are toxic / poisonous trees that one should not touch or handle in any way. Start with widely-recognizable trees, such as pine or oak, if you are a novice.***

Trees have held special magical meanings in cultures around the world. They are gateways to working with Earth energy and Earth magic. Each type of tree has its own special meaning, so utilize a tree that resonates best with your intentions. Here are some ways to work with trees within your magical path:

🌳Learn about trees. Read books; do research online etc. Recognize and identify them by sight. Know their seeds, leaf shapes etc. Learn both the magical correspondences and the scientific / botanical facts about them.

🌳Visit a tree and offer water or a small gemstone at the roots to honor its spirit. Touch the tree and pray for its well-being. Then thank it for providing oxygen, food (if it has edible parts), a home for small creatures, and shade. Say goodbye and do not pick fresh leaves or twigs etc from it.

🌳Go forest bathing. (Safely) venture into a local forest or heavily-wooded park. Ask the trees to recharge you and fill you with restorative verdant energy. Observe the natural beauty, listen to the birds singing, breathe calmly...take it all in. Reverently walk through the area and thank the trees for the healing.

🌳Pray over a ribbon. Speak your wishes to it. Then ask a tree's permission to work with you. If you sense confirmation and acceptance, loosely tie the ribbon on a branch or twig to help bring your goals to fruition.

🌳Collect three small fallen twigs and pray over them. Whisper your intentions into them. Then stake them into the earth to help anchor the energy in the material world and to manifest your desires.

🌳Sit at the foot of a tree and meditate, daydream, read, or have a picnic. Thank the tree for its shade and company when done.

🌳Collect fallen acorns, pinecones, or seeds from the foot of a tree. Place them on your altar and utilize them in spells and rituals.

🌳Plant a small tree if you have the outdoor space. Speak kind words to the plant and tend to it with care as it grows.

🌳Work with a twig to use as a magic wand. Bless it and wash it with blessed water first. Kiss the wand when done consecrating it (do NOT handle toxic trees or place them near your mouth).

🌳Utilize a tree stump as an altar table. Pray over the damaged, fallen, or chopped tree stump (do NOT purposely chop down a tree for this...find a fallen one that you have encountered by happenstance). Ask the tree its permission to give it a second life as an altar table. Place gemstones upon it and bless it.

🌳Hold a twig upright in each hand. Cross your arms over your chest. Close your eyes and think of your goals, your dreams, or simply meditate. Imagine lines of energy flowing through the twigs, up into the sky and down towards the earth. Envision your success and happiness. Hold that space and feel empowered. When finished, place the twigs in the shape of an X on the ground.

🌳Be a protector of trees. Join a tree-planting group or environmental protection & preservation society. Donate to public botanical gardens etc. as well.

I hope that these suggestions are helpful!

[a-very-large-pile-of-hats]

nah that checks out

[invaderxan]

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Reblog to save a life?

Sharing because it’s actually a verified and sourced thing and not one of those dumbass fake tip posts.

💌Spell Envelopes💌

Y’all this is seriously a game changer!! 

As a college student, I’m super broke and haven’t wanted to buy sachets for spells, but I have a solution! Just use an envelope instead! You can get a whole box for like $3 (or you probs already have some) and they work just like a sachet: you put your herbs, pieces of paper, little crystals, etc. inside.  

You can also decorate them with designs, colors, and sigils that correspond to the spell you’re doing!  The one in this picture is a love spell I made for a friend! Art isn’t your thing? Just use stickers! Washi tape! 

You can carry them around easily and discreetly too.  You could even mail a spell to a friend! And add a layer of enchantment to bless your postal delivery person while they’re carrying the spell :)

✨✨

Addition:  As the lovely @crystal-w0lf added to the comments, you can also bury them for offerings or protection spells!!!

[mentalcentral]

it’s scary to question your identity, especially if you thought you already had it figured out. it’s ok to rediscover yourself, no matter how old you are.

“Who still uses Tumblr”

I love tumblr. It’s my hideaway, no one cares for who you are, what you look like. No ones bothering anyone else. Everyone minds their business. No clout chasing people. Understandable as to why not many people use it, not everyone built for this.

ADHD GRIMOIRING

As an ADHD witch, I’ve started three different grimoires that’s didn’t work and one that did (and still does) so I compiled a list some tips if you, like me, just can’t seem to do the whole ‘grimoire’ thing the way you think you should

DONT PICK A FORMAT YOU CANT REALISTICALLY MAINTAIN.

If you can’t spend hours getting out your paint and scissors and collage supplies and glue, don’t use it. It’s a surefire way to lose interest and fall out of love with your book. It should not be a chore to work in it.

DONT PLAN EVERYTHING OUT AHEAD OF TIME.

It’s great to keep a running list of topics you want to include, but if you block off pages and spreads through the entire book, you’ll hit a rut when you don’t want to finish a page you started and you will (again) fall out of love with your book

IF YOU WANT ORGANIZATION, MAKE AN INDEX AT THE BACK.

Tables of contents are great, but can’t anticipate your writing. Put an index at the back so you have the rest of the book to play around, but maintain that organization

KEEP A SEPARATE NOTEBOOK

By keeping a separate notebook to jot down notes, sketch out page ideas, draft spells, etc, you have a space to make mistakes, but most importanly you have a place to go when you lack the motivation/the executive dysfunction is off the charts to actually Work On Your Grimoire

IGNORE THE CALL OF SOCIAL MEDIA

This is really more general than and ADHD-specific tip, but try not to think of your book in terms of “how will this look during my grimoire tour on YouTube.” That will just trip you up and make your day sad. Trust me.

REMEMBER: THINGS CHANGE

What has been the biggest help to me when I was struggling with my grimoire was the idea that your aesthetic, your beliefs, your general magical interests will change, and that’s a good thing! Give yourself room to grow in your book—it takes a lot of the pressure off, and (bonus) it makes for a wonderful little time capsule so you can see how far you’ve come

I guess “to conclude,” make sure that your book makes you happy, if nothing else. I hope you found any of these helpful, and...wash your hands + drink water.

my favorite thing ever,,,,, and emo is NOT DEAD. DEFINITELY NOT

[gay-idiot-pyromaniac]

if you use music to cope with anxiety, depression or to help with your ADHD (like me) reblog, I'm trying to prove a point to my teacher

[virgil-in-the-bathroom-deactiva]

adhd, anxiety, and depression are all different for everyone.

If someone uses music to cope, let them. If it’s too loud for you to even think, politely ask them to turn the volume down a bit.

It won’t kill to be nice

[gardeninglovers]

zero light plants

[blackwoolncrown]

THIS IS SUCH A SPECIFIC AND SUPER NECESSARY POST.

[lionesshathor]

Spider plants are among the best natural air filters you can put in a flowerpot. They don’t just produce oxygen, they clean out other gases and toxins and whatever else is floating around the room.

Also they’re easy as fuck to grow more of because they reproduce by putting little mini plants out on stalks. Clip one off, stick it in a pot and you’re good!

[braincoins]

Spider plants are safe to have around cats, too!

[ithelpstodream]

Men are using a powerful hashtag to fight back against emotional abuse

According to NCADV, 4 in 10 people have experienced some kind of coercive control from an intimate partner. Sadly, #MaybeSheDoesntHitYou is raising much-needed awareness for a widespread problem.

[faded-doll-hi]

This is disgusting. It really is. I hope that people gain awareness of this issue and their own situation and I really hope that we all find better.

[acruelgentleman-deactivated2018]

I appreciate the hell out of the women reblogging this. As a survivor of such emotional abuse, I know it’s vital for men to step forward and talk about their experiences. The old “man up” narrative needs to die. 

[misshorrorotaku-deactivated2024]

It disgusts me that there are people in this world who will look at this and say it’s not abuse because the victim was a man, or they’ll try and say it doesn’t deserve to be recognized because physical abuse is “worse.”

[bizarrolord-deactivated20241123]

In my personal experience, emotional abuse tended to be worse because at least I knew when physical abuse was happening and not have to guess at when someone was actually being decent to me.

[enbycourse]

Abuse towards men in relationships is far too normalized, especially in straight relationships.

Ladies, don’t hit your man. Don’t cut him off front his friends because of your own jealousy issues. Don’t go through his phone. Don’t tell him he can’t leave you. That’s abuse.

[fiive-second-cookies]

HELLO is it not normal to constantly have a song playing in the background of your head?????? like, behind your thoughts, a song is always on?? is that not a normal thing??????

[bitchassmcshipper69]
