About grimoires

I have seen a few witchblr post about using your own alphabet, and so I wanted to tell you the application FontForge is a free tool for creating your own fonts. If you have knowledge of graphic design, you can do really professional looking fonts, but if you’re a nob like me you can still create something both usable and good looking like this:

The developer(s) seem very kind people and work hard for having this tool free and open, and you can find very useful tutorials on youtube. Plus, you can add both symbols and letters with accent marks:

This is the working panel. What I did was using the straight line and the curve line and work with that, but you also have more tools, so you can experiment (in my case i didn’t want to spend a lot of time and wanted something that looked more like handwrite than a computer font, but that’s up to you!)

The only important thing is that you have to draw closed figures (you can’t just use one line). 

After you have the font done you can just save it for later edit and and add it to your writting software of preference. I don’t remember how it is done as I used a youtube tutorial, but I do remember it took less than 5 mins, bcause you only have to save+upload.

Magick Alphabet Trouble?

*this is all based in personal experience and opinions

So you want to write a grimoire/journal written in cool runes. Maybe you’re a closeted witch in a strict, religious household, someone is nosy with your things, or some horrible combination.

You’ve already found the main big ones, perhaps The Elder Futhark runes. They all look so cool, right?

They’re also a huge pain in the ass to write.

That’s why I like the Moon Alphabet, and I personally use it.

It’s great because...

if you have messy handwriting, it doesn’t really matter.

it’s also a type of braille for those with lost eyesight

once mastered, you can write down a lot VERY quickly

even if you haven’t memorized ALL the letters and stuff, you can still kind of piece together what you remember when you read it back.

it’s generic looking enough to where you can twist it to look more like the theme of your writing (cute and soft, scratchy and wild, etc.)

My stickers came in, I should have read the dimensions before I ordered them but whatever. They still look fantastic so I’m totally fine the size.

Working on my grimoire. This notebook is for sketching things I want to put in my grimoire, so it isn't the finished product.
