50 ideas for a Grimoire

I collected these ideas (and others) from different sources. What you see here is what I think would be interesting to put in my Grimoire (because apparently people need to be told these things).

1 ) decorations ; a personalized cover (with a picture of the moon, a pentagram, your patronus or something else, or maybe just a nice flowery design or leather cover), using a glitter pen and stickers, pressing flowers between the pages, drawing, taping photos and other visual ideas.

2 ) protection sigil on the reverse of the cover (so people won’t read it without your authorization)

3 ) your craft name and your reason for choosing it

4 ) how you define your path, can include coven rules, the tradition(s) you follow and/or a personal set of magickal rules

5 ) wheel of the year / rituals you observe as the year passes

6 ) dedication to one or several deities you worship (or alternatively, what your relationship with deities is like, whether it’s a specific deity or deities in general)

7 ) on that note, myths and information regarding gods, godesses and deities that could be useful for you

8 ) moon phases, their correspondences and what they’re good and bad for

9 ) elements and their correspondences (including the minor arcana of tarot)

10 ) recipes. not just kitchen witchcraft recipes, but also potions, beauty and cleaning products, natural remedies, powders, salts for a bath, oils, etc.

11 ) herbs/plants/flowers and their correspondences

12 ) runes and their meaning

13 ) crystals and crystal grids

14 ) spells, of course

15 ) divination (tarot spreads and cheatsheet, pendulum, scrying, astrology, etc.)

16 ) a pendulum board

17 ) dream diary

18 ) ancestors ; where they are from, specific people you wish to honour, family tree, pictures, location of graves, etc.

19 ) familiars

20 ) tools in your practice

21 ) list of charges, wards, sigils, spells, wards and enchanted items you have currently active

25 ) chakras

26 ) myths, myhtological creatures and legends

27 ) folk tales from your zone
