Now I know what to do with my blank notebooks. ✨

Witchy books that aren’t grimoires

🌱 Herbal- a book on herbs, describing their culinary, medicinal, and magical properties

✨Spell book- a collection of spells

😴 Dream journal- a place to write down and interpret the dreams you have

🔮 Book of prophecies- a place where you write down your predictions for the future.

🦁 Bestiary- a book on the magical creatures and spirits that you’ve encountered or find interesting

🦅 Volucrary- a book on the symbolic meanings and magical correspondences of birds. Like a bestiary but with more bird and less beast.

📚 Witchy inventory- a list, with descriptions, of all the magical items you possess and any enchantments they may have

🌞 Almanac- these are books you can buy with tide tables, astrological events, and important dates for the next year. They’re incredibly useful if you’re interested in biodynamic gardening or if you spend a lot of time outdoors.

The "true" things you need to read about if you want to start practicing witchcraft

● Read about it's History - also depends on where you live. Start on your roots. Search and study about your country's tradition, culture and ancient practices before going to other non-close beliefs, that interests you.

● Types of practices - Be careful on diving to some closed practices. I do not encourage this but since it can't be helped, just be mindful of what you're doing. Research! Every practice has do's and don'ts. Learn to respect the "authenticity" of these practices.

● Study a bit of science - science and magick co-exist. Dont just mix anything with everything. Study what herbs and plants are safe to use for kitchen witchery or making oils and other stuffs. Study what crystals can be poisonous when mixed with water etc. Also study a little bit about the science of energies and frequency as this will be fundamental with meditation. Lastly, study the possible reactions of raw materials to be used in doing witchy stuffs before doing anything else. Remember, better safe than sorry.

This 3 topics are what I recommend based on my experience in the practice for 6 years (still counting)...

I suggested this, because this topics will help you to cover the basics of the practice. I consider this as base study before actually studying the fundamentals. Now, if you don't agree, i respect that, just don't impose your bullshit on meh. 🥴

Online Grimiore

This is an online BOS for babywitches, and myself. In this I’ll be expalining it in a way I would’ve wanted it explained when I was starting out. I’m still a baby witch, so I of course don’t have all the answers, but what I do know about, I’ll write here.

This Grimiore/BOS will be divided into Sects, each will have a “page” (post) dedicated to a topic or thing. I may touch base with something on one page but make another page dedicated to that thing specifically later if it hasn’t been written yet.

Sect 1, The Basics

• Page 1, Cleansing
