🎃 50 (Witchy) Things to Do With a Notebook 👻

I’ve got an ongoing list of things to do with a blank notebook or journal (because I can’t stop buying them), and I’ve pulled out the ones that I think might be of interest to magical, witchy, or pagan types. Hopefully, if you guys find yourselves stuck in front of that first blank page, there’ll be something here to inspire you!

Some of these examples have links or descriptions to further elaborate on what I pictured when I put them on the list, but don’t feel boxed in by any of these! Always feel free to think outside of the box.

🎃 Magical Journal YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS :’))  👻 Dream Journal 🎃 Psychic Journal  [1][2] Keep a record of your insights, premonitions and predictions. Be sure to make a note of when you’re right! 👻 Prayer/Chant Journal Even if you don’t write your own, having the ones you enjoy all in one place makes a great reference. 🎃 Meditation Journal [1][2] Journaling can be a form of meditation in and of itself, but you can also keep track of your meditation experiences or just log when you do it. If you’re doing guided meditations, you can list which ones you used as well. 👻 Test Spellbook [1] 🎃 Divination Journal Keep track of your readings, done and received, as well as any other progress  👻 Book of Shadows 🎃 “Rough Draft” Book of Shadows Work out your BOS before committing it into a larger, more expensive book 👻 Ritual Record Apparently if you do them, you might want to keep track of them. 🎃 Gratitude Journal [1] 👻 Messages from Deity 🎃 Letters to Deity 👻 Manifestation Journal [1][2] 🎃 Reading List(s) You can make your own list of books you want to read for your path, or copy down the suggestions of others. 👻 Nature Journal [1] 🎃 Research Journal Make note of your questions, goals, and sources! 👻 Genealogy/Ancestor Journal [1][2][3] 🎃 Gardening Journal [1][2][3] 👻 Personal Almanac Make a personal, customized version of the magical almanacs or planners that get released every year.  🎃 Collect Truth Write down the things you agree with. why do you agree? Decide what’s true, or what feels true. If you can, include things that you don’t actually agree with, but you still think are true – that’s a fun thing to contemplate.  👻 Collect Lies I actually started keeping track of the false beliefs I’d either told myself or had been told, and perhaps a little more tricky – things I see others telling each other that I don’t agree with. Feel free to talk about why you have decided these are lies. And look back every now and then to see if you still agree with yourself. 🎃 Formulas Write down your favourite (or even experimental!) recipes for oils, incenses, inks, or whatever else you’ve got going in the cauldron so that you don’t forget how to make them. 👻 Your Personal “Bible” [1][2] 🎃 Sigil Codebook [1] 👻 Sigil Logbook Log sigils you’ve made or found for future reference. 🎃 Personal Symbol Log [1] 👻 Affirmation Journal [1][2] 🎃 Recipe Book Invaluable for a kitchen witch, especially if you’re keeping track of the magical effects of certain recipes! 👻 Book Exercise Journal Almost every book and every course suggests keeping a journal for it to record your progress, do the assignments, et cetera. 🎃 Spelled Book Turn each page into a spell! Rip it out or otherwise engage with the page to use it. 👻 Spirit Dossiers If you work with spirits, keep profiles of their personalities, likes, dislikes, interactions with them, et cetera. 🎃 Charger Book Imbue pages with a magical signature, leave objects on page to charge them. 👻 Book of Spreads I’ve got two spread books – one book has my own spreads, and one book has spreads from other people that I’ve liked. It’s beyond helpful to keep track of these somewhere in case you ever want to use them again, or share them with a friend! 🎃 Good Advice from Other Witches 👻 Altar Photobook Include pictures of your altars for reference, or other altars you loved! 🎃 Correspondences List This is especially useful if you’re trying to develop your own personal correspondences! 👻 Book of Hours [1][2] 🎃 Spellbook  👻 Spirit Grimoire Pick a spirit, or group of spirits, and create a grimoire for them 🎃 Shrine Book Make a scrapbook shrine for your gods. 👻 Book Notes Journal Keep notes on the witchy/pagan/etc books you read so you can remember what your thoughts, insights, and problems with them! 🎃 Witchy Transcript In Dedicant: A Witch’s Circle of Fire, Thuri Calafia talks about her witchy transcript: “All the spiritual work I’d done, the meditations I’d used, the rituals I’d written, the books I’d read, everything I could think of pertaining to my spiritual path.” She goes into more detail about what to include in her book, but take the idea and run with it! 👻 Tarot Journal  🎃 Magical Travel Guide Map out your land, neighborhood, et cetera. Make notes of the sacred sites, where spirits live, your local witchy stores, places you do ritual, which grocery store sells fresh basil, where you found the wood you used for your wand, crossroads, and other places of interest. 👻 Astral Mapping Similar to the above, but for those of y’all who go Over There. 🎃 Good Ideas I keep a notebook of magical concepts and ideas I find in fiction that I want to figure out how to recreate in real life. 👻 Aesthetic Scrapbook If you’re developing a magical aesthetic [1][2], then keep a book devoted to that! 🎃 Shadow Work Journal [1][2] 👻 (Witchy) Things To Do With A Blank Notebook Keep your own list! When you’re not sure what to do with your next blank notebook, see what stands out on the list and try it out!  🔮

Because, honestly, I do not journal enough. So many amazing ideas here.

I’ve had this blog for a while now and I thought it was about time I showed off my Book of Shadows! I’m quite artsy and I remember images better than I do words, so my BOS is full of pictures and doodles to help me remember things better and it makes me want to go back to my work and read over what I’ve written, because a bunch of words mean NOTHING to me and my BOS would be pretty pointless if I didn’t have those images. This book is actually a flower pressing book and since I’m a green/earth witch I though this would be a perfect book for my favourite things about the craft. That’s why I have thin sheets of tracing paper over each page, which is very useful for protecting my work, especially because I use felt tips and paints. Right now my Book of Shadows contains pages about chakras, meditation, rites, spells, important tips, elemental healing, small and easy spells and rituals, moon cycles and colours and their significance. I really love my little BOS and I’m glad I’ve finally made the time to post about it and show you all some of my favourite parts of the craft. Soon I’ll be creating a couple of pages on crystals and plants, I haven’t done this yet because they’re my main focus within the craft and there is just so much I want to right down about them. If you’re struggling to read some of the pages in the pictures above and want information on the topics I have in my BOS feel free to tell me which page you’re interested in and I’ll gladly type up the information! I know this was a long post but I hope it was worth it and helped some of you out, or just gave some of you a good read. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me talk about my little book that I love so much😁🌱⭐️

Mermaid Dust!

Hi people! Tonight i bring to you this little DIY for getting beautiful Mermaid Dust done!

💙Mermaid Dust correspondences are:

As is strongly related to water, is useful for emotions, relationships, healing, psychic abilities, exorcism and purification. It can be used for love, luck and protection too! Also, it works perfectly fine as an extra boost for any spell.

💙This is how you make it:

✨ You’ll need sugar (love, luck, healing, purification), mint (exorcism, protection, healing), eggshell powder (protection) and glitter on the color of your choice (for making it more “personal” to you. I use turquoise.) and crystals of your choice (optional)

~I recommend aquamarine, sodalite, emerald, citrine, pink quartz, amethyst, green quartz, tourmaline, hematite and/or clear quartz.

✨The amount of each thing i use is approximately the following, but you can use as much as you want and give it your own texture!

~¾ Sugar.

~2/4 Eggshell powder.

~2/4 Mint.

~¼ Glitter.

✨Then, put it all together and stir to mix it!

✨Once that you have something like this, put it on a jar or any type of container that you prefer, and use some crystals to charge it!

✨Here i’m using two pieces of aquamarine, one sodalite, two tourmaline, one pink quartz and one citrine.

✨Now, here comes something important. I leave it for a whole lunar cycle, from full moon ‘till the next one (or you can do it from the very start of the cycle, on new moon, ‘till the next new moon, choose based on your correspondences of which type of moon energy you want the dust to keep), on a closed wooden box with amethyst and clear quartz, so it can be properly charged. Another good idea is that, on a full moon night, you leave it outside surrounded by the gems you want it to be charged with.

✨At the end of the cycle, you can say a little chant of your choice when taking the dust out of the box or taking it inside home again or out of the windowsill… you understand my point lol.

💙Extra: As this is not safe to eat. If you want to make some eatable mermaid dust, i recommend using colored sugar (you can easily make it with white sugar and food colorant). Put it in some container, then put that inside your container with mermaid dust or surround your sugar container with a circle of mermaid dust (be careful not to mix it!) and leave it for a night, preferably on full moon. Next day you’ll have some dealicious mermaid sugar/dust for any healing spell, love spell, or any type you want to do!

You can make as much as you want of this, and is useful for almost everything! i really like it ♥

Well, hope you enjoyed this DIY!!!♥

Book of Shadows

Some new pages I just added to my Book of Shadows

[honeyalchemist]

And we’re back! This week we’re finishing up with tasseomancy and starting with pendulums! We’re also going to add more to our basic knowledge well within our grimoires!

Experimenting with different ways of recording spells and formulas/parts of my practice I don’t intend to pass on. Rough, but they’ll shape up once I have more time to piddle with my art stuff. My grimoire is often leafed through by my friends looking for bits to add to their own books and I’m often sidetracked and not able to grab it back in time (plus it’s just so rude to me) so this seemed like a nice and visually appealing solution to that problem ☺

The script is Condensed Elvish, which I found from @huntwitch

Working on my new Grimoire, I finally started to work on my new Wu Xing page spread! The first one in my Basics Grimoire was kinda brief and I wanted to make a longer one, with more correspondences and uses that I’ve learned, I love how it looks this far!

[vvitchella]

I’m finally done with this page of my bos 😢

Tarot symbols for journaling

100% admitting that I got inspiration from others on these.

[fleurdefoudre]

If you’ve noticed the resounding silence around here, it’s because I’ve been moving my practice to a paper journal, specifically a bullet journal, which has been super interesting to set up and do.  I kinda love it, though.  With that in mind, I’m considering what I want to do with this blog, and it might just be a place to put opinion stuff and new spreads and etc.

But just putting up an ‘I Aen’t Ded’ message! and some shots of my shiny new journal

[honeyalchemist]

Agh, I’m so bad at this! I nearly forgot to post today but here I am, doing it at 9 pm :’) Can someone start reminding me on Sunday nights to post? Please?

This week, we’re finishing up with Tarot and starting up with a new form of divination: Tasseomancy! We’re also going back to scrying, making sigils, and spells.
