With the year coming to a close, now is as good a time as any to start a new grimoire or book of shadows. Maybe it’s your first, maybe it’s your 10th. But there’s just something nice about starting a new magical journal around New Years.
This post is going to be similar to my “Great Big Wichy Video Starter Kit For Beginners” in that it is essentially a YouTube playlist, a curated list of the videos that helped me the most.
This is not a sponsored post, these videos are not mine, and I have no connection or affiliation with the creators of these videos. If you find contrasting opinions in these videos, don’t stress, just decide which you like better and keep that one with you. Also, if you change your mind later, that’s okay too! This is part of growing.
You can use anything from journals, to binders, to planners, to sketchbooks, but if you can’t seem to find the perfect one in any stores, you can make one yourself!

You should consider how you will express yourself in your book. Writing? Drawing? Painting? Making collages? All of the above?
HearthWitch has a pretty solid explanation of the differences between the two

You might also want something more specific, like a dream journal, or a bullet journal for weekly and monthly intention setting. You can be as specific or as general as you want!
How do you begin? An “About Me” page with your natal or solar chart? Maybe your personal rules you’ve set for yourself?

In the video in the above link, Harmony tackles some misconceptions and FAQ’s, as well as some interesting ways to protect your book from prying eyes.
Keep at it, silly! Keep going until it’s full, as long as it makes you happy.
