Grimoire/Book of shadows Page Ideas for Beginners (And for advanced too)
👉What is witchcraft personally meaning to you?
👉Which element are you drawn towards the most? What feelings come up when you are near to that element?
👉Types of Witchcraft: do you want to practice alone or in community? Do you wanna be a religious or a secular witch? To pinpoint your interests you can build up quite a nice starter kit of practice you can go with in the beginning phase.
👉 Type of spells: wardings, protection, banishing, attraction spells, etc. I’m an ecclectic witch and this means I do various spell methods, I couldn’t put a label on my craft as a multiple-passionated person.
👉 Ethics: don’t let others influence you in this particular segment. You might find likeminded people along your journey, yet, it isn’t others job to tell you what you should think of the world around you. Are you pro or anti-something? What are your own personal boundaries? What are your red-yellow-green lamps? 😊
👉 Personal correspondences: plants, crystals, etc. ~ customize it to your surroundings and taste, as a localized practice will help you to save tons of money. You don’t have to break the bank to have a nice put together craft – tools are just tools, you are who makes them sacred.
👉Terminologies: paganism, witchcraft, cultural appropriation vs. appreciation, open vs. closed practices etc. there are many, do your research on them.
👉Research results you vanna revisit later, even links can come here, just don’t forget to put the last visiting date so later if you do not find it online you will not be that scared. Sometimes pages are getting lost in the time or the creator stops being active. Be prepared to have loooong period of time with researching informations
👉 Having a problematic authors’ list is highly recommended. There are some truly Nazi and horrible people out there claiming they have all the kowledge and the truth with them. Don’t fall for that kind of rhetoric. Also, radicalism on the left too is overtly problematic of a behaviour. Callout/Cancel culture must be stopped ~ mobbing people oniline is such an immature, delulu thinking that shouldn’t be considered normal. Activism out tof emphaty is another kind of pasta, to be honest, and must be tooo differeciated from harrassing someone for basically no reason. Agree to disagree and scroll further, you can block if this thing is one of the can’t get over it type.
👉 Witching on the go-list: as someone who loves to forage, and have some experience in collecting my tools from nature, I love to put some lists before I go to a hike trip or outdoors of what to I want to bring home for a later spellwork. I try to bring in return safe for animals biodegradable options of offerings to the spirits of that particular land.
👉 Have a section for each season you have in your area. Jot down your experiences and observations of how nature behaves, what transformations happening, which plants attracts your attention, etc.
👉 Dream logs: I frequently forget my dreams if I have any – on those rare occasions I try to brainstorm them onto paper so later I can go back to get inspiration from them. Once I had a dream that was such a good one, I turned it into a short poem and got into an antology print 💕 Awsoooome.
