31 Days of Spiritual Journaling
Prompts for spiritual journals, grimoires, books of shadows… I hope this can provide inspiration! Please tag me or, tag the post “31 days of spiritual journaling”. I would love to see them!
How did you come to your path? (your spiritual journey)
Teach/Describe one of your key spiritual practices. (mindfulness, meditation, grounding, prayer, ritual…….)
Discuss a plant or place that is important to you spiritually. Why is it meaningful to you?
Record a recipe relating to a holiday you celebrate. How do you use this food/drink/mixture?
Delve into your relationship with a deity, or why you don’t honor deities.
Teach/Describe a craft or skill that‘s tied to your spirituality.
What do you do when it is hard to continue your spiritual practice or feel connected spiritually?
Discuss offerings. What does that look like for you?
Engage with the theme of “sacrifice” What does that mean to you?
Delve into “Afterlife” or “Ancestors”. How do those ideas play out in your worldview? In your spiritual practice?
Have you had experiences meeting or working with other pagans/witches? Elaborate!
Discuss imagery or symbols that are important to you. What are they? Why are they important? How do you use them?
Make a ‘beginners guide’ or ‘field guide’ for an important element of your practice (stones, weather, herbs, gardening, tarot, camping…)
Engage with the theme of “love” What does that mean to you?
Take notes on a book, article, video, or guide about something you’d like to do soon.
Did you have experience being pagan/witchy in school? Advice for kids who grow up in a pagan/witchy home?
What are your core values? Challenge yourself to list them and explain your choices. (Need help? get started by looking at formalized lists like Catholicism’s 7 Heavenly Virtues, the Wiccan Rede, The Nine Noble Virtues, the 7 Principles of Unitarian Universalism…)
Create a page just for Gratitude Journaling. Does “gratitude” have a role in your practice?
Record quotes that are deeply meaningful for you.
Has there been a time your beliefs (pagan, pre-pagan, other…) have been deeply challenged? What was that like? What did you learn?
Are there any songs you find spiritually meaningful currently?
How would you describe yourself? Perhaps attempt a self-portrait. How have your self-views impacted or been changed by your spirituality?
Describe an intensely spiritual experience you’ve had.
Advice to New Pagans/Witches: What is a mistake you made, or a unnecessary challenge you faced, which you wish you’d been able to avoid?
What does the theme of “courage” mean in your path?
What is your dream home, future-self, or vacation? Can you identify aspects of your spirituality that impact that dream of yours?
Record a dream. Do you find any meaning or significance in it?
Do you have any experiences with tarot/runes/divination? What are your beliefs around that? If you enjoy divinatory work, do you have a theory regarding how/why it works?
If someone was to honor you as their ancestor, what would be a meaningful and loving way for them to do that?
