@theitsybitsywitchling to answer your question, a Bonding Journal is basically a log or diary of your daily (or otherwise like me that forgets to bring it with her everywhere) experiences and learnings with your spirit/ entity companions. They can be anywhere from learning what their favorite food is if it wasn’t told to you already to what has so-n-so taught you regarding your magical practice this day. Or even something as trivial as “omg my bffs moved and hid the candies I was saving for later! ”

This not only helps you learn more about them, but help them know more about you because you’re all in it for the long haul unless your companions have nothing more to teach you and then you find them new homes for others to learn from them (aka “rehoming”). I’ve sat with my guys and did anything from tarot to sigil work to casting with my Keep so these are things you want to have because, in the long run, you could end up with many companions and forget things. I’m always forgetting so I flip back and be like “oh yeah! XD Good times~!”

I hope this helps explains things. I actually keep one of these, a divination book just for tarot readings and other messages I get, and a Book of Shadows. You can bunch it all in one of you like, but you will find a system that works best for you and your keep.
