Really fucked up that you can just inherit complexes from your mother and be fully aware that they're complexes from your mother but still do all that shit

Grimoire ideas that aren't research

While my grimoire is dedicated to research and documentation and I love that for it, I totally get how a load of writing isn't for every practitioner. I didn't want to leave you guys out so here are some grimoire ideas that aren't related to research.

_________________

Pen test/paint test page

make a spell page or prayer page in the style of collage/black out poetry

make a zine of the holidays/your preferred tools/deities/spirits ect.

make collage of your deities/spirits or local wildlife

tape grid/dump

sticker dump

sigil dump

If you're handy with a needle and thread, turn those sigils into patches for your clothes

Tape in an envelope to store excess thread or make a page of thread colour correspondences

if you enjoy cooking, make a list of flavour combos and their magical properties including dish uses, colour schemes, aromas, general vibes ect.

Rip off the labels of your candles, herbs and spices and stick them in your grimoire for future reference

design your own insignia (you don't have to be in a coven)

stick in pictures of local haunted attractions/spiritual places and (optionally) write about them

make a collage of you ideal work space or meditation spot

Plan/design your ritual outfit

make a charging station for small objects then design a large one for yourself (can be conceptual or literal)
