Although I do have a grimoire, I use a journal to track my day-to-day practices that I do not usually include in my grimoire. A witch’s journal is a great place to record your feelings and discover any repeating symbols that you may not have noticed if you hadn’t written them down. It is a great way to look through and see how much your craft has grown.
Things you could include:
- Dreams and visions with any interpretations you have
- Day-to-day magickal practice
- Symbols that may seem important
- Astral protection experiences
- Meditation journeys
- A list of books you read and any important magickal teachings you learned from them
- Progress of any castings or “spell tracking”
- Magick Workings
- Events and decisions in your life that affect your magickal workings
- Magickal goals and plans
- Maintenance and home cleaning/cleansing
- Daily rituals or habits
- Astrological events and any symbols or visions you may have received that are connect to the event
Things to include in each entry:
- The moon phases
- Weather
- Date
- Emotion
- Position of the moon in the zodiac
- Season
- Time
Another short post but I hope it may inspire some people.
May the moon light your path
