Grimoire/Bos Prompts or Research Topics for the Witch that Doesn’t Know What To Do Next

(Pt. 1/ ?) 

Okay so, I've been working on gathering information for a couple of years now. (On and off for 4 years probably a little less because I procrastinate), and just now I've gotten an official book to put all of my information in since prior to that I just had loose leafs of paper that I'd stash away at random, and google docs filled with information (which I recommend. It helped me let go of the stress of messing up and helps when you need to edit and add information. I still use my doc as a way to add stuff and as an on-the-go grimoire).

I've practically stuffed this grimoire with everything I've gathered and refined, and this has lead me to reach an impasse where I don't quite know what to do next. Not a lot of BoS or Grimoire prompts are geared towards people that have the basics written down, but don’t know what to do next, so I'll make a short list of stuff I've brainstormed.

Note: These prompts aren't all going to be specific things to do research on, a lot of it is inspired by Molly Roberts on YouTube because I love prompts and ideas that may not be necessarily witchy, but can be when in the context of where it is. These prompts and research topics also are not mine by any means and I’ll reiterate it often because I want people to make these ideas their own. 

- What being a witch means to you. This can include why you decided to use witch as a label for yourself, your specific practice, why you got into it, how it affects your life and it's importance, etc.

- how your religion (or if non-religious, any of your beliefs or theories you support) works alongside your craft. Do you feel a need to separate the two? Do you treat them like they're always together? Are there any specific scenarios where you use the two hand-in-hand? Talk about it.

- Entity and/or spirit Guide! Make a section dedicated to entities and spirits in your area, how you (or others) found them, if you think you know what/who they are, or if you aren't sure what it could be. This can open up great opportunities for you to study new things. I myself have been planning on doing it since my town has a lot of ghosts, and I've had plenty of interactions with entities that I don't know of (ex. some seem like the fair folk, but due to the origins of people that lived in my town it's unlikely, or they have one trait that reminds me of an entity I know of but the rest of their traits are nothing like it).

- energy/magic map. This can be used in multiple ways! Map out the energy and vibes you feel when you're in other places, or map out the energy you felt during a spell/ritual, or maybe even there's a song that just speaks to you and you want to show the flow of energy the song makes you feel. How you show this flow is up to you and your experience! Maybe you have synesthesia and you want to explore how that mixes with your experience with the flow of energy in music ( or just in general) go for it!

- any personal ideas or concepts. This might be candle etiquette, or maybe you personally don't say the name of certain entities or deities for specific reasons. Maybe there's something you do that you don't see a lot of people mention in media. Write it down! You never know when you'll come across something and go "...wait a minute" and then you can flip through your Grimoire/BoS and go "oh! Right, that's just a personal belief/uncommon concept so that might be why it isn't in here." Now. This does not mean stealing from other cultures and claiming you believed in it all along. And it doesn't mean disrespecting any basic rules of etiquette.

- if there's items you see and you have an inexplicable pull to, document it! Talk about the energies they had. What they were and looked like. If you bought it or not. This can help you in the future when it comes to incorporating items. Sometimes I find out that an item I bought because its "vibes were interesting" can actually be repurposed and I always feel proud afterwards because my intuition knew all along.

- do certain places or situations make you feel a little bit more magical than you usually do? Make a list of those places (and if you want to add a description of them!) Sometimes when I'm not feeling 100% with my craft just visiting those places makes me feel better.

- Information about where you’re from or where you currently live, and how this place applies to your practice. I’ve seen at least one or two people do this with their grimoire’s and it’s a great idea. It doesn’t have to be an extensive history either, for me, I just focused on the state I live in and I added basic information that I felt belonged there. I also included some common folklore of the area.  

- - - 

I'll add on more as I brainstorm them. These ideas and concepts are not mine and a lot have probably been done already. Have fun with them! Reblog with more ideas (I'll definitely reblog ones with ideas I like)

in which Din is force-sensitive, Padmé is a force ghost and Din desperately needs political advice from his mother-in-law

[lorrainestea]

I would do ANYTHING to see Din and Bo getting married in Pirates of the Caribbean style.

Imagine:

*Mandalorians vs Gideon’s troopers*

Din: Bo, will you marry me?

Bo-Katan: I don’t think now is the best time!

Din: Now may be the only time! *grabs her arm and looks in her eyes*

Din: I love you. I’ve made my choice. What’s yours?

Bo-Katan: *turns away from him* Armorer! Marry us!

The armorer, smashing the Imps with her hammer: I’M A LITTLE BUSY AT THE MOMENT!

[idkbishsss]

Din getting lesbians(+Boba Fett) to help him get Grogu back: Gay rights! Yeah, gay rights!

Meets Luke Skywalker on the ships

Din:I’m gay-

Sometimes I just want to abandon everything and

Move to the empty town to live with a cute artsy boyfriend and his brothers helping them murder people and makinf art

OR

Take a job as a nanny in a remote part of a country to take care and love an adorable manchild living in the walls

OR

Go camping to the Lake and stay there forever in the cabin with the huge teddy bear of a husband (who sometimes murders people, but it's not important)

Lil crow hc I've had in mind for a while

Kaz, pointing at his broken cane: So.

Kaz: who broke it?

the rest of the crows: *absolute and utter silence*

Kaz: I'm not mad, I just want to know

Inej, immediately: I did it. I broke i-

Kaz: No. No, you didnt.

Kaz: Jesper?

Jesper: Don't look at me, look at Matthias

Matthias: WHAT

Matthias: I didn't break it

Jesper: huh, that's weird... how'd you even know it was broken then, huh?

Matthias: because it's sitting right in front of us AND THE DEMJIN SAID IT'S BROKEN

Jesper: suspicious.

Matthias: the only thing suspicious is why Kaz is actually asking us instead of manipulating us into confessing.

The Crows: *absolutely silent*

Kuwei, piping up from literally nowhere: If- if it matters, probably not but um, Wylan was the last one to touch it.

Wylan: liar. I don't touch Kaz's things, I dont have a fucking death wish.

Kuwei: oh really? Then what were you doing by his room earlier?

Wylan: I was practicing self defence with Jes's guns and KAZ IS THE ONLY ONE PARANOID ENOUGH TO HAVE A BULLETPROOF ROOM.

Jesper: to be fair, Wy has terrible aim, he needs the bulletproof room.

Wylan: YEAH, everyone knows that, Kuwei.

Inej: alright alright, let's not fight, I broke it, so I'll pay for it, Kaz.

Kaz:

Kaz: no.

Kaz: who broke it?

Jesper, lowering his voice: Kaz

Jesper: Nina has been awfully quiet

Nina: oh wow, REALLY JES

Jesper: yeah really

Nina: I thought we were fucking friends, Jes.

*cue the commotion as Matthias very loudly takes Nina's side and Wylan takes Jesper's side*

*everyone starts arguing*

Kaz: I broke it.

Kaz: A splinter from the wood poked my hand so I broke it over my knee and didn't regret a second.

Kaz: but I predict that 10 minutes from now they'll be at each others throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

Kaz: I'm bored and I need entertainment.

“You asshole.” He digs the spoon back into the broth, nearly spilling it himself. “It’s always—fucking—dignity this and honor that.” Sanji lets go of the bowl to grab Zoro by the chin and jerks his head around to face him. Zoro’s eyes widen in shock, and one hand twitches up, but for once, he’s not fast enough.

“Why don’t you prioritize—” Sanji shoves the spoonful of broth into his barely-open mouth, and later, he’ll feel bad about the way the utensil knocks against his teeth. “—staying alive for once?!”

I've been busy setting up my new Witch Journal for 2024 and starting tomorrow I can finally engage with it on a daily basis again.

The 2023 one kinda got abandoned because I had too much going on in my private life and I had to take a much needed break.

I've changed it up a little bit, but I was able to re-use page ideas from 2023 as well.

I'm especially excited about the Weekly Practice and Weekly Journal Pages. They should help me to actually write about my craft - and if I manage to do to, I have something to publish about my personal practice as well.

literally so much happened in this episode and it was all amazing but i have to scream about my favourite nitearmor moments because they’ve got me going INSANE

- the armorer going “lady kryze your reinforcements have arrived” over the fucking mandalorian comms in her bedroom voice as she leads a fleet to save her

- the two of them meeting up in the sky side by side and sharing A Look before bo katan whips out the darksaber and they fly into battle

- the twin shots of them each absolutely decking the imps mid-air bo with the darksaber the armorer with her hammer

- the armorer handing bo katan the flame to light the giant forge HER FORGE the one she’s been DREAMING about for decades and there’s that split second of them gazing at each other holding the flame together

- that ending shot of them both standing side by side in front of the forge as the crowd cheers and then din flies off leaving them to rule mandalore together as wives

Grimoire/BoS prompts for the Witch that Doesn't Know What to do Next

Part 4/4

Might revisit this series later on in life, but for now I think I've written down enough stuff. I hope some of my ideas can help!

- In-journal altar spaces. Perfect if you can't have a physical altar, or even for brainstorming ideas. Take pictures/make drawings in order to form the perfect altar space for you!

- Favorite myths, creation stories, etc. You can either list them and talk about why you like them, or you can even go as far as to rewrite them in your book!

- Mundane daily rituals. List some everyday "rituals" you do (ex. brushing your teeth daily), and see if you can find a way to make it feel magical or special.

- Magical Exercises. Especially if you've read a lot of books, you more than likely have encountered a lot of these. Why not record them in their own category so you can use them when you're stumped?

- Meditating Activities. The act of creation can feel meditating, go ahead and put those things in your BoS/Grimoire so you can recall those meditative states. My favorite thing is to tear up scrap papers and collage it in my grimoire.

- YouTube Channels, blogs, etc. frequently visited. Do you notice that you gravitate a lot to specific places in order to get your information? Jot it down! Whenever you're stuck you can always look at your list of trusted places. Likewise, you can go back to them and compare sources in order to broaden your understanding of topics.
