The Ultimate Grimoire Guide

So! I have been seeing a ton of grimoire ideas and thought I’d stuff them all together. A lot of ideas are from @manifestationsofasort, @banebite, and @pigeonflavouredcake. Check them out! They have a ton of cool stuff there.

What Do I Use For My Grimoire?

You can use anything for a grimoire! For a physical one, journals, binders, and notebooks are good. For digital ones, Notion, Tumblr, Docs, and even just your file folder are great.

hope you’re well! would you happen to know any ways of getting of someone/forcing them to leave quickly? I’ve tried giving this person the money to get out but they just spend it and continue being a thorn in my side.

If I understand you correctly, you live with the target, right ? This will do the job.

Mark an egg with a cross and hide it under their bed for one night. The following day, retrieve it, cook it, and make sure you feed it to them. A home baked cake is innocuous enough. Save the shell.

Combine the eggshell with the following in a mortar and pestle and grind everything into a thin powder : sea salt, nettle leaves, blackberry leaves, a pinch of crossroads dirt (I’d recommend graveyard dirt for extra banishing oomph), and a whole wasp’s nest. If you can add a taglock of them, like a lock of hair, even better.

Procure yourself a cord, anoint it with oil, and roll it into your powder. Wait for your target to leave the house and, as soon as they do, stand at the entrance holding the cord and a pair of scissors. Say : « The nest of discord between us / The sting of the thorn between us / As sky from sea, as sea from land, as land from sky / So, now, are you from I / So I separate, severe, and divide / Be gone, [Name], go your own way / And I shall go mine. ». Cut the cord. Bury one part at the threshold of your property and throw the second part in running water, ideally in a river making sure it is flowing away from you.

Over the next few days, whenever you feel like it, sprinkle a bit of the powder into your target’s shoes. Keep at it until they are gone out of your life for good.

About Ubi: Incubi/Succubi II

The first, more introductory post can be accessed here. This post contains answers to questions people have sent concerning Ubi. While much of this applies to all Ubi, this was written specifically from experience with Lowborn Ubi; I tried to mention where it more specifically pertained to Lowborn Ubi. This was written in conjunction/verification with @swimminginscales.

Starting off, what’s the ubi’s culture like? Where does the culture originate? Don’t they have families? Do they live in a community or are they solitary individuals?

Lowborn Ubi have a very accepting culture, where they encourage care and comfort with your own body and the bodies of others. I would say it originates from their need to eat sexual energy; in doing so, they have become very accepting of all body types, genders, etc. They can raise families or be on their own, they vary in it just like us. Some still live with their family, others live alone in an apartment, etc.

It was mentioned ubi can control some aspects of their bodies, such as dick size, can they do anything else?

Skilled Ubi are capable of completely shapeshifting their entire bodies. So dick or vag size/shape, tit size/shape, height, weight, etc.

How energy depleting can sex with them be?

Most Ubi that are not starving are fully capable of controlling how much energy they take during a session. You can even ask them to limit their intake for a session if you still need energy for the rest of the day.

Are ubi good companions for individuals with “low spoons” or less energy?

I would say no, because they drain energy. However, a common phenomena that I have seen occur in multiple people is that as their body adjusts to regularly being drained, their body starts producing more energy to compensate, making the individual more energetic than before. When this happens, the body also uses the regular energy drain to flush out bad energy, releasing blockages and cleansing your energy for you, which can result in a cleaner energy overall. BUT AGAIN, there is no 100% guarantee that it will work out that way for all people with low spoons.

And what are some effects their presence has? Like when they are interacting with humans to obtain sustenance? Enhanced anything? Can Ubis increase your own sexual stamina and ability? What sort of sensations can you expect when engaging with an Ubi while awake?

Their presence and energy alone can make some people horny. A lot of people experience feeling “fullness” in their crotch or root or sacral chakras. It’s common to be wayyyy more horny/into it when fucking with an Ubi, and for the sex to last much, much longer than would be possible without Ubi. The entire thing, especially the finish, tends to be much more intense and pleasurable in general. Depending on how much energy your Ubi took, you could be KO or still be energetic enough to do work. Generally the more energy you allow your Ubi to take, the more intense the session will be.

How often would an ubi seek out sex from their partner?

A 100% or near 100% Ubi could go literally the entire day of sex, with breaks just to eat, use the bathroom, etc. This is not an exaggeration. Because of this, Ubi prefer to be called rather than doing the initiating because they always want to initiate, and understand that a single partner will not be capable of providing this kind of energy, which is why Ubi often have multiple partners to get laid from.

What’s the most popular kink that ubis have?

It really varies from Ubi to Ubi. Some are totally vanilla, while others are kinky as fuck. There are some kinks that don’t exist in the human world, too.

Do they get STDs?

Yes, Ubis can get stds. However, I do not think they are able to pick up human STDs as they are not human [needs verification]. Additionally, the lowborn realms are extremely advanced in their medicine, so I’m quite certain that they have found the cures/treatments to all if not most STDs. [also needs verification].

Can they extract sex energy from porn videos or pictures of hot anime tiddies or by just being a voyeur, I suppose?

Yes they can, however, the energy from internet porn is extremely minimal. Being a voyeur on other entities having sex would provide more energy, but it would be the equivalent of a “snack”; they couldn’t sustain themselves off of it.

Is there any sex act that the overall majority is morally against or are they fine with everything? Does one need to be a certain age to contact an ubi or is that a general rule of thumb like rated R ratings?

They are morally against ANY SORT OF sexual activities with children that are not Ubi and non-consensual sex, because that is not considered sex. Ubi feed of of pleasure, happiness, and love, not fear. [This mainly pertains to Lowborn Ubi, please be extremely cautious with Hellborn Ubi because Hell is a bad, bad place.]

The reason there is an exception within their own community is because Ubi children do feed on sexual energy; Ubi need it to stay healthy. Ubi are not born already “grown”, they begin as babies just like us. They usually don’t need sexual energy from the get-go; they start with “normal” energy to live on, and gradually begin to crave and need sexual energy as they age, although they are still very young when it starts to happen (our equivalent of 8-10 years old). However, any Ubi with a decent brain (99.99% of Lowborn Ubi) knows that it is socially unacceptable for any other species to interact with their children this way, AND they think it’s unacceptable in other species as well. Thus, the Ubi children are only “fed” by their parents/guardians.

YES it’s gross but it is literally their food. Ya gotta understand that they’re not human, and that this is their real food that they do need to survive.

Any decent adult Ubi (99.99% of Lowborn Ubi), will REFUSE any sort of activities with a non-Ubi minor. However, there are of course underage Ubi who may attempt to get with other underaged entities, just like how underage humans already make attempts to get with each other in high school.

In all honesty if you try to call an Ubi and you’re underaged, they’ll probably show up just to yell at you for being stupid, then leave.

Please just. Don’t be disgusting, wait until you are 18 to get with an Ubi.

Do they ever have the sex together for food?

Yes, though they generally prefer non-Ubi as then they can drink more energy; they don’t need to “share”. Also, Ubi don’t produce or release as much sexual energy than a non-ubi/non sex energy consuming entity.

Do they use sex toys?

It can vary of course, but usually…What kind of Ubi doesn’t have some sort of collection of sex toys?

Incubi/ Succubi

SPECIES: Incubus/ Succubus

GENERAL INFO: Incubi and succubi are entities which feed off of sexual energy (energy from both build-up to and from the actual sexual act). Canonically, they are demonic beings who manifest physically and cause sexual dreams while they feed on humans. An incubus is a male-presenting or male-leaning entity, and a succubus is a female-presenting or female-leaning entity.

Due to the fact that they require large quantities of sexual energy to feed, ubi are a non-monogamous species and they cannot sustain themselves off of solely one partner.

PREFACE: This gnosis relates specifically to demonic ubi (succubi and incubi). While there might be some distinctions between lowborn and hellborn ubi regarding temperament and cultures, the information here can be generalized and applied to both.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

Ubi are skilled shapeshifters. They are incredibly adept at changing their appearance through a combination of both shapeshifting and the use of adaptive glamours in order to appeal to a variety of individuals. This is most helpful during feeding, where eliciting arousal is an important part of the process. Having said this, many ubis will have a preferred form in which they are most comfortable. This is their “natural” form, and it tends to be aesthetically pleasing in general.

The process of shapeshifting for ubis is incredibly complex, and it partially relies on their partner(s) expectations or desires being projected onto their glamour.

It is worth noting that ubi will have a preference towards manifesting as a specific gender, and although they might choose to change this too from time to time (as is convenient for them), categorization as either succubus or incubus is done based on their preferred form of manifestation and/or which gender they lean towards.

ENERGY DESCRIPTION:

Ubis tend to have incredibly pleasant energy with dark undertones to it. There is a sense of ecstatic arousal which is derived from their presence, particularly when they are actively feeding.

Hellborn ubi tend to have darker and higher, richer notes to their energies, with a warmth beneath this.

On the other hand, lowborn ubi tend to have a more grounded sense to their energy.

Both of them have a clearly demonic-derived energy strain which makes their energies heavy and almost physically tangible. This makes them well-adapted to their feeding needs.

PERSONALITY:

Personality-wise, there is great variation among individuals and it is difficult to give a generalized overview of their traits, as each entity is unique.

For the most part, however, ubi can be very charming and put people at ease- this is an adaptive behaviour that allows them to feed much more easily.

Having said this, it is worth noting that hellborn ubi tend to be more territorial of romantic partners, as well as in general, and may have stronger temperaments than their lowborn counterparts. They are typically much more intense about their feelings, with a proud, Noble streak that might make them appear difficult at times (although it is incredibly rewarding to work with them).

Lowborn ubis tend to be more relaxed and more emotionally-savvy in comparison, with a greater understanding and kinship of human values in general.

LIFE:

Ubi are born through sexual reproduction- however, this requires that there is intent on the ubi’s part to reproduce (otherwise, the sexual energy will be consumed).

They are born naturally and reach maturity quite quickly in comparison to other entities and demonic beings. This is to their benefit as it makes it easier to obtain the sexual energies they require for feeding.

When developing, they are typically able to feed passively and don’t require energy consumption from sexual acts- ambient feeding is enough. Additionally, if really hard-pressed for energy, they can make do with other types (non-sexual energies), although in the long-term this can cause malnourishment and, ultimately, death.

SOCIETY:

Ubi societies are incredibly complex and varied depending on their location.

Typically, lowborn ubi tend to be more prosocial in their behaviours and their societies tend to be more expansive, interactive with outsiders, and welcoming.

Hellborn ubis tend to have a more militarized focus.

Again, however, it is important to note that societal standards will be greatly different depending on each ubi community that you encounter.

servantofthefates

Hello, Diana! I hope you're having a wonderful day today! I wanted to know if you would be able to talk about runes some more? Since seeing them in your videos, I've become quite interested in them.

RUNECASTING 101

What is it?

Runecasting is a form of divination that uses runes, which are an ancient Germanic alphabet that has always been entwined with magic.

The word rune came from the Old Norse “runa” which can be translated as “secret”, “whisper” or “mystery”.

Why are runes effective?

Even before people adapted runes as a writing system, their ancestors have used these symbols as talismans, carving them into weapons and shields.

Simultaneously, they were used for communing with the old gods and determining their will.

How many runes are there?

Twenty four. As with tarot cards, each has associated messages. Also like tarot cards, they are read with reversals, except for several of them that look the same when reversed and therefore maintain their original meanings.

Recently, people added a 25th piece. A blank one they fondly call “Odin’s rune”. Its meaning is simply that the future is yet unwritten, and one can make any dream happen.

Which rune set should I get?

The very first ones were made of wood. In my family, we create our first set ourselves — we cut a branch into small pieces, and carve the symbols into them.

Nowadays, wooden runes have somewhat been overshadowed by runestones, which are made of crystals, because of New Agers’ belief in their powers.

Metal is another popular material. Because of its durability, this is the type I have in my charm set. For personal use, I prefer wooden ones.

Whichever set you purchase, it will come with a pouch.

How do I use them?

Step 1: Invoke your deities or your higher self, then ask a question.

Step 2: Shuffle the runes by mixing them inside their pouch.

Step 3: When you feel ready, grab a handful and cast them onto a surface.

Step 4: Interpret each rune alone, and then together, to get your answer.

You can also draw a rune one by one, and give them positions, as in a tarot spread. I personally never do this, because runes are meant to form themselves into a message. Giving them a spread would be restricting their freedom.

Or you can simply pull a single rune, as if you are doing a daily tarot draw.

Are they better than tarot?

Given that there are only 25 runes, while there are 78 tarot cards, of course the latter can give more detailed messages.

If you are only after meditation or reflection, runes would serve you well.

I use them with tarot. This way, I can benefit from the runes’ preciseness without forgoing tarot’s specificness. This is what I do in my Pick a Card readings.

What does each rune mean?

As with tarot cards, runes have a wealth of meanings. But these few keywords should be enough for beginners.

🌊Sea Divination🌊

Materials 🔮

1. A bowl

2. A small stick of driftwood

3. Ocean water

General Steps 🔮

1. Sharpen one end of the stick into a point (this will be the end to pay attention to)

2. Fill the bowl with ocean water

For finding lost objects 🔮

1. Hold the bowl in your hands

2. Envision what you are looking for and direct your energy into the bowl of water

3. Drop the driftwood into the center of your bowl

4. Watch the direction the wood spins or the side of the bowl the wood drifts to and follow it much like you would with a pendulum until the item is found

For yes or no questions🔮

1. Hold the bowl in your hands and focus your energy into the water

2. Drop the driftwood into the center of the bowl

3. First ask the drift wood to show you yes

4. Take note about which direction it points in or which side of the bowl it floats to

5. Repeat those steps for no

6. Ask your question and watch the wood

7. The direction it lands on is your answer

If the wood refuses to spin try another piece or gently swish the water around to charge with more energy.

This works for all types of witches but the materials used here are ocean based. To make it more personal to your craft switch up the materials to reflect your practice.

Salt dough and crushed flower petal runes…

Basic recipe from @lazywitchling.

lazywitchling

There’s a reason this salt dough recipe is the first thing in my grimoire. Very few tools have been quite as versatile as this. I have made offering bowls, a measuring spoon, a deity statue, runes… and I could go on.

Salt dough is wonderful for witchery because you make it yourself, it’s cheap af, you can make it with things you steal from the kitchen while you’re stealing McCormack herbs (don’t lie, you know you’ve done it), and it’s salt based which is like the witchiest of witch things.

The small discs on the page are my latest idea, which is outlined in the second note on the page. I mixed dried herbs into the salt dough, formed discs, let it dry, and now I’ve got these portable little magic herb discs. The ones on the page are basil and powdered sugar for drawing wealth at work. But the possibilities are endless. If you can make an herb sachet or powder, you can probably also make it a salt dough disc.

Witch tip: set these out on a dish to dry by your window to give it all that good sun and moonlight.
