Pick an intention, such as Money, and write down anything that corresponds to that (colors, herbs, moon phases or zodiac signs, crystals, incense, etc) this way the next time you want to do a spell for Money, you can just flip to your cheat sheet and be done. My advice is to make “cheat sheets” for each of your intentions. Intention Cheat Sheets.When you want to write a spell, nothing sucks more than having to flip back and forth all over your grimoire to find the information you need. However, if you write spells a lot, you may want spell writing notes in the front, while correspondences would be better in the back. I personally like having everything divided into matching sections. However the best way to organize your grimoire would be whatever works best for you. This post details my own personal Grimoire Index. Topics you’d like to learn about has a HUGE list of topics here Sabbats, Esbats and any Holidays you celebrate

I used to dream of having a huge, Charmed-like Grimoire, and now I prefer the small, sloppy, scrap book, messy-writing kind of grimoire. And if you make mistakes, try to work with them and turn them into something else instead of scrapping your book to start over. Don’t let that pesky perfectionism hold you back. You can always create another grimoire later. Take note of any mistakes or things you want to change. If you’re worried about it being perfect, starting “planning” pages in a cheap journal. We all want our books to be “perfect” but after writing about six grimoires I’ve learned that grimoires really don’t ever become “permanent” because our preferences change as we grow. Either way works perfectly fine.Ī quick note for those who suffer from the perfectionist complex: don’t sweat it. Other people prefer straight to the point text. Some people like decorating with flowers and ribbons and pictures and stickers. This way I knew exactly what pages were going where. I found it useful to “plan” out the book before I started writing in all the information. Put all your information in your book in anyway that you desire. This is completely optional, but it can also be a fun “witchy” way to bond with your grimoire. It’s also completely natural to change up your organization style later on. If you’re a perfectionist like me, this might take a bit. Gather the information that you would like to put into your grimoire (this can sometimes take a very long time, it took me years), although if the “write as you go” method is more comfortable for you, then go ahead. That being said, here are the basic steps I followed when making my “permanent” grimoire. Many new witches get excited to have a “fancy” grimoire and then become terrified of “messing up” in it which results in that book never being used. Most of the time (unless you’ve already done one or two grimoires before and you know exactly what you’ll be putting in this grimoire), that book will sit on a shelf and collect dust. I recommend that if you are starting a grimoire or are a relatively new witch, don’t even bother buying a nice, expensive, fancy journal. Computer Folder/Flash Drive/Memory Card I’ve actually seen someone tape composition notebooks together to get a “thick” book. “Memory Keeping” or “Journal” Grimoire: This is a grimoire that serves to be a personal record of thoughts and feelings pertaining to spiritual activity in your life. They are filled with spiritual images, quotes and writings to serve as a sort of “bible.”

“Inspirational” Grimoire: These are often called inspiration journals.

Often more portable than a standard grimoire. “Practical” Grimoire: This is a grimoire that can serve a practical purpose, such as a recipe or spell book. “Textbook” Grimoire: This is a grimoire that is set up to serve as a reference book, a book strictly for spiritual or magickal information. These are not the only “kinds” of grimoires, merely suggestions. These are my own personal “styles” of grimoires that I have made over the years. There is no limit as to what a Grimoire can or cannot be, as each one is as unique as the witch who wrote it.Ī grimoire is used to document, or keep track of, any magickal information that is relevant to the practitioner.It serves to log everything you need to know in your own personal craft. (UPDATED 3/22/18 All updates are marked)Īs my own personal definition, a Grimoire is simply any book used by a witch in his/her/their own personal practice. Be warned, this will be a long post! As always, this is merely my opinion, my word is not law. A while back I made a post about how I organize my Grimoire/Book of Shadows and for a long time since then I’ve wanted to a sort of 101 for creating a Grimoire/Book of Shadows.
