I’ve been building a little browser-based digital grimoire / webgrimoire for my site, and it’s finally at the point where I want to let other people try it.
https://shrine404.neocities.org/grimoire
It’s still in beta, so im basically just asking people to poke around, play with it, and tell me what works, what feels clunky, and what you’d want added.
It's not a productivity app so don't go in expecting that. I wanted it to feel personal, decorative, a little old-web, a little devotional lol..
I worked really hard on this so if you can give me feedback and maybe reblog I'd be so happy. Again it is FREEEEE.
What it can do right now:
☾ create entries for different sections like spells, materia / correspondences, dreams, lore, links, journals, divination / omens, and more
☾ has an altar / webshrine area where you can make little devotional pages with things like:
shrine images
candles
offerings
blinkies / extra shrine images
shrine frames / styles
relics / decorative bits
“now playing” style details
guestbook / shrine personality features
☾ has a practitioner / about area so you can personalize it with your own path, signs, beliefs, deities, tools, icon, etc.
☾ includes writing tools so entries can be more than just plain text — invocation blocks, prayer cards, omen / warning boxes, poetry formatting, ritual steps, foldaway notes, dividers, and other little text charms
☾ lets entries link to each other, so it can work more like a tiny personal web or wiki instead of just isolated notes
☾ has optional ritual metadata / seals for entries, but they can also be turned off if they don’t fit the page
☾ has backup / export options all grouped together, including a full HTML export option
☾ has different palette / theme options in settings, including lighter and darker modes for readability / vibe
☾ has a header image option and other little personalization settings
A few important notes before using it:
𖹭 it is still a beta
there may still be bugs, odd save issues, awkward layout moments, or parts that need smoothing out
𖹭 it currently saves in your browser storage
so if you use it a lot, please export backups regularly
𖹭 it’s meant to be a little expressive and decorative
so some features lean more “digital shrine / personal archive / weird old web object” than “minimal serious app”
If you try it, I’d especially love feedback on:
✴︎ anything confusing or unintuitive
✴︎ bugs / things not saving properly
✴︎ sections or features you wish existed
✴︎ readability / accessibility issues
✴︎ whether the altar / shrine side feels fun enough
✴︎ whether the writing tools feel useful or too much
✴︎ anything that feels especially charming, broken, annoying, inspiring, messy, or missing
Basically: if you use it and have thoughts, I want them.
This is my weird little beta grimoire child and I’m trying to make it genuinely beautiful and fun to use, not just functional.
Also, if you like strange personal websites / old web things / occult tools / shrine pages / browser toys, you may enjoy it just for that alone.
On one hand, I'm really trying to see menstruation in a more divine way. Or even as a blood sacrifice. Sacrifice of the first born, sometimes. Moon cycle. Body cycle. Something to value. And to see the uterine blood as something sacred.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I have endometriosis. And my cramps can make me faint. Other times they make my muscles lock & spasm & I quite literally look like I'm possessed or like I'm getting exorcised.
The BS-Free Witchcraft Podcast: 89. What Makes Wicca Wicca?
One of the biggest things I think a lot of older witches take for granted is that people understand what makes Wicca, well, Wicca. While we’ve discussed the history before, and last month talked about the weird anti-Wicca backlash, I think there are a lot of misconceptions about how this incredibly diverse religion is practiced. Frankly, just the fact that it is largely an orthopraxic religion and not an orthodoxic one is a concept a lot of folks raised in predominantly Christian frameworks struggle with. So let’s talk about it.

Libations are the pouring out of some kind of liquid like alcohol or oil in an offering type of ritual.
Offerings of libations could be made for a god or spirit or for the dead. Pouring one out for the homies basically.
Anyways a lot of everyday ritual in the ancient world involved pouring out stuff and killing things. I do not envy the people whose jobs it were to wash the altars at the temples.
If you’re designing a religion for a fantasy series or something, worshipers pouring wine all over something is in fact a pretty normal thing to do. There’s written instances of this sort of thing happening in the Bible too so it’s not limited to polytheistic religions either.
the gods love you and are always waiting for you, if you want to come back, in your own terms. they understand our lives are difficult, while they may not experience it directly, they know how much pain and grief there is in the world, and how much we have to put up with sometimes. they understand you may not always be in your best shape and you don't have the energy or motivation sometimes. they don't either sometimes!
rest is important. take care of yourself first any way you can, and when you come back to them, they will be waiting to see you again
