Beginning Tips for a Witchy Notebook

I get a lot of asks about how I started my notebook whenever I post pictures of it! I do have a background in scrapbooking/collage/art, which is reflected in my witchy notebook. I’ve been a self-identified practicing witch for about a year now, but many of the practices in my craft have been in my life for years.

Some people call them Book of Shadows, grimoire, or simply just a “witchy notebook.” Here are some tips that helped me when I was beginning my notebook. Lengthy post with pictures!

Notebook? Binder? E-grimoire?

There are lots of ways to keep all your witchy information together. You can keep your grimoire on the notes of your phone, documents on your laptop, Canva/other graphic design website, loose leaf papers or in a binder, or a regular bound notebook. Don’t place too much pressure on yourself! Whatever feels right is right.

Start with what you like (but stay open to what you don’t know!)

Your notebook won’t have the same authentic magic if you fill it with things that you don’t actually care about! While my first notebook contains some aspects of witchcraft that I don’t practice now, they were still important to me at the time. Your notebook is a visual representation of your journey, so don’t be afraid to fill it with your current obsession with crystals or a one specific tarot card. 

These are some really great tags for exploring topics when you don’t know where to start!

witchy 101

And some simple ideas for your first entries:

your birth chart

what you want to use magic for

a collage page of your witch aesthetic (or ideal aesthetic)

a wish list

your favorite crystals

a simple moon calendar (full/new moons of the year, month, or just information about the phases)

your favorite colors, seasons, places in nature etc

record information about the chakras/energy points in the body

list of your favorite witchy movies and tv shows

draw teacups and fill them with drawings of your favorite blends

drawings of your ideal familiars (animal companions)

A couple witchy things that you may not have heard about but are super cool to incorporate into your craft:

sigils (visual symbols charged with an intent)

incantations (short spells that sometimes rhyme)

Don’t knock Pinterest.

I personally like to have very organized and planned out pages. I’ve resorted to Pinterest *many* times to get graphic ideas for lunar calendars, zodiac wheels and other witchy things that require a lot of information in a condensed graphic. Pinterest has great inspiration for those special, planed out spreads.

Separate or keep it altogether. 

Some people like to keep everything in one notebook/binder, others like to separate their topics or layouts into different notebooks. I started a bullet journal for more planned out pages, but my general notebook is a leuchtturm1917 with dotted grids where I have reference pages and personal entries.

Here are some pages of my notebook that I’m especially proud of.

Ultimately, your notebook is a reflection of YOU. It doesn’t have to be super witchy, covered in cobwebs with etched pentagrams. It can be a simple composition notebook or a super frilly lace journal. Be true to yourself and your notebook will never lead you astray. Best of luck and feel free to message me!

🔥 Burnable Spellboxes 🔥

For spells, rituals or offerings!

I just made some offering boxes to put into the wickercreature at Castlefest, so I wanted to share some ideas! I had this idea for a while and finally found some time and energy to make some.

What you need:

🔥 Pretty patterned paper (I got some paper blocks from the dollar store)

🔥 Spell ingredients/Offerings (anything goes as long as it burns)

🔥 Cord/wool/linnen ribbon (remember: natural fibers)

🔥 Optional: pretty flowers for the top!

What you do:

Find a favourite tutorial for an origami box online. I used this one. And fold your pretty papers into a box. If you want, decorate the box a bit more. I made three: one for the Goddess Baduhenna, one for Nehalennia and one for the Horned God. I designed bindrunes for them and put them on the bottom of the boxes.

I got some fresh flowers from my garden and wrote down some poems (and made my own) to dedicate to the Gods. Then I added some herbs, lots of Marjoram as a taglock (my name means Marjoram) and even a bit of my favourite perfume. I wanted to make it as personal as possible.

Now simply close them and tie them shut. I used wool in the colours that matched the deities I’m making them for. I also tied some pretty flower to the top!

And there it is! Now my boxes are ready to be sacrificed! Of course you can substitute any offerings by spell ingredients to make it into a spellbox! Have fun, and as always, feel free to tag me when you make these! 🌙

a reading about a friend in distress

card one: four of wands

card two: the empress

card three: nine of wands

card four: knight of swords

card five: seven of cups

card six: ace of wands

wands are dominant in this reading. the four jumped out when i was asking desperately what would happen. a reminder that guides the entire reading that a good ending is not impossible, that with hard work we will reach a point where we look back on this period of distress and worry and celebrate that we got her through it. the empress is worried, caring, wanting to help. wanting too much to help, almost. a caring that goes so far that it results in hurting yourself. you can’t take care of everyone and also yourself, my dear. you must care for yourself too. the nine is us now, preparing for the worst that might be coming. stress over how to help, stress over what she might do, stress over knowing what to do and what not to do. accept that this is a period of anticipation and make preparations that will lessen the harm to come. preparing means taking action. Take action. The knight wants you to take action. it’s not enough to sit by and worry. it might also signify an opposition to offered help, a pressing against it for the presumed comfort of indulging in old demons. don’t let that happen. fight against them. be wary of the seven of cups, don’t let not knowing what the best thing is stop you in your tracks. just do something, even if it doesn’t end up being the perfect help it’s better than no help at all. at least try. at least do something. the ace of wands is our friend, her at the end of this. reaching a new beginning. a lighthouse alone where there needs be no lighthouse, it may feel like an uncomfortable start but the ace leads into the four. only a few steps before getting to the moment of celebration. to bring this new beginning to fruit will require work, a changing of attitudes, a new connection, something new coming in. maybe talking to someone. things can get better. don’t let things stop you. work for a better future and it will manifest. you can not do nothing and expect for new beginnings to come to you unbidden. 

“WHY are you STALKING me?” tarot “spread”

It’s not really a spread, more of a method. But anyway, here it is!

First off, try to figure your stalker card out. Meditate with it, freewrite based on it, read the LWB, check out how others have interpreted the same card, ask a friend, etc… When you’re sick of all that and you want more depth, then move on to the next step!

Take that bloody irritating card and tell it what you want (I like to sob-scream “But what do you meeeeaaannnn?” at it, personally), then shuffle it back into your deck - FACE UP. Shuffle it in real good. Don’t peek while shuffling, though, you don’t want to see where the card is until you’re totally done with shuffling.

When you’re through with that, flip through the deck and find the card - super easy cause it’s the only backwards card in the deck - and pull it out AND the 2 cards on either side of it.

The card behind your stalker shows underlying issues that caused the card to show up. Then show up again. And again. It’ll give you the knowledge about why, and knowledge is power.

The card in front of your stalker gives you the action to take, what the card needs from you so it can stop trying to deliver it’s message. It’s your first step to freedom!

Where the stalker ended up in the deck before you pulled it and the surrounding cards out also comes into play. If it was near the top of the deck, it is mostly in relation to practical, real-world tangible life. The farther you have to dig to find it, the more likely it is the card is speaking to you on a deeper, spiritual level.

Hopefully this will help y'all with any stalker card issues you might come across! I’d love to know if this works for you, so feel free to shoot me a message or tag me if you use it!

Hello everyone! As promised, I am here with a new 30-day challenge. It’s focused on introspection and geared towards self-exploration. But wait, there’s more! It’s designed for witches who are just starting out in their exploration of witchcraft. 

You can do this challenge regardless of your length of time practicing, but it’s likely to be most useful for people who still feel that they’re just getting started. I wanted to create this so that witches could answer it as they begin their Craft, then (hopefully) look back on it later and see how (and if) things have changed because of their magical work! 

it would be really great if those of you doing this would tag the posts with #rootsofcraft so I and other witches can read the responses easily, compare, and learn more about how diverse our community can be. As noted, I designed this to be highly introspective, and I do hope the questions inspire a lot of thought!

In a few days, once I’ve typed it up, I’ll be posting a second challenge, called Fruits of Your Craft, designed for those who consider themselves more experienced witches. 

Neither of these are really confined to any skill level or number of years/months spent practicing; it’s just a matter of how you, personally, feel about yourself. Do you feel that you’re beginning, or more experienced? So, feel free to do this, or the next one, based on that rather than the amount of time spent. 

Enjoy, and I look forward to reading responses to the questions!

Me, a swamp hag in a kitty cat night gown and rainbow socks: throw water in a jar with nails and a poppet and shake it as a hex. Put a penny above your door to attract money in your house. Use your local herbs and stones to do what ya want. Wind chimes attract spirits and bottles trap in negativity thrown your way. Throw dried chilis in the foot steps of your enemy to make them hotfooted and paranoid. Sigil and emoticon spells are fun and worked for me so eh whatever. Fuck circles, do whatever, folk magic is easy and quick

Elistist “trad” witch: Um ExCuSe Me?!? NO!! you have to have a circle and call the corners and your gods and goddesses! If has to take time, a lot of time!!!! and you have to do it exacyly like this *holds up instructions* and wear certain robes! Use only these crystals and herbs do NOT use or substitute anything else!!! Doing anything different is bad and fake!!!!! You have to only use our type of magic or youre wrong!!

Also me: another fun magic is to get some rocks and throw them to release certain feelings about something

* starts throwing stones and rocks at the elitists*

Leafeon - An incantation to help your plants heal and grow.

*Inspired by the Pokémon Leafeon*

Needed:  - The plant/s you are trying to help grow - Water in whatever you use to water the plants - This incantation

Steps:  - Gather your supplies.  - If you can do this in sunlight, that’s even better!  - Hold your water in one hand. - Put your other hand on the pot of the plant.  - Focus your intent on healing and aiding the plant in healthy growth.  - Say/think while focusing energy into both the pot and the plant:  “ This little plant needs to grow,  Through the dirt may this water flow, Imbue it with healing properties,  So that it may grow properly.  May it grow uninhibited,  and its beauty be elicited. Let it grow with strengthened will,  Until it’s space is filled. I speak this spell with heart and mind, So bring to me what I seek to find.”  - Water your plants as you would normally, or as is nessicary for your plants.  - Aesa <3  This is my original spell, do not repost on any platform without my explicit permission. Reblogging is okay, Reposting is not.  Do not advertise on this post. 

Ways to Strengthen Your Magic

Every now and then, magic can fade. In order to keep it strong and healthy, you have to exercise it. Of course there will always be times when something else is more important than your craft, but there is always a little something you can do to keep it going.

-Whisper an incantation over your lil’ cup of tea.

-Pray to your deities as you fall asleep at night.

-Carry a tiny crystal in your pocket.

-Scribble a quick happiness sigil on your arm before school or work.

-Give your pets some treats you have bewitched.

-Recite affirmations when you get ready to go somewhere in the mirror.

-Light a stick of incense while you’re cleaning or just sitting around.

-Add little thoughts to your grimoire.

-Sleep with your tarot cards.

-Play some witchy music.

-Set out a couple jars to collect rain water.

-Cleanse your home while cleaning.

-Set aside at least one day a month to devote entirely to your craft.
