Okay, so I’ve been getting really into witchcraft lately. I mean, REALLY into it. I decided I wanted to make my own little “witchcraft book” – you know, like a personal grimoire. I didn’t really know where to start, though, so it was a bit of a journey. Here’s how it went down:
Finding the Right Book
First, I needed the actual book. I didn’t want anything fancy, just something simple. I went to a few craft stores, looked at some journals… Finally, I found this plain, brown-covered notebook at a local bookstore. It was perfect! It felt right, kind of earthy and simple, you know?
Gathering My Thoughts (and Supplies!)
Next, I had to figure out what to actually put in the book. I spent a few days just brainstorming. I made a big list of things I wanted to include:
- Moon phases and their meanings.
- Herbs and their properties (like, for protection or love spells).
- Some basic spells I wanted to try.
- My favorite crystals and what they’re good for.
- Maybe some divination stuff, like tarot card meanings.
After my listing, I got my colour pens, I had glue, and I printed out a few pictures and diagrams I wanted to include.
Putting It All Together
This was the fun part! I started by writing out the moon phases and their corresponding energies. I even drew little moon pictures next to each one. Then, I moved on to herbs. I wrote down their names, what they’re used for, and any precautions (like, “don’t use this if you’re pregnant,” that kind of thing). I also glued in some small dried leaves and flowers next to the descriptions.
For the spells, I only included ones that felt right to me. Nothing too complicated, just simple things for protection, self-love, and attracting good vibes. I made sure to write down every step clearly, like a recipe.
I dedicated a section to crystals, with their properties and how to cleanse them. And I even added a few pages for tarot card notes, although I’m still learning about that.
It’s a Work in Progress!
My witchcraft book is definitely not finished. It’s something I’ll keep adding to as I learn and grow. It’s kind of like a magical diary, a place to keep all my witchy knowledge and experiments. It’s already become one of my most treasured possessions! It’s super personal, and it feels really powerful to have all this information in one place, written in my own hand.
