Are you keeping a journal or grimoire in your praxis?
Maintaining a journal or grimoire within modern magick acts as a foundational tool for personal growth and the evolution of one’s magical practice in several key ways:
-
Documentation of Progress: It allows practitioners to document their journey, recording spells, rituals, outcomes, and reflections. This historical record can serve as a guide for future practices, highlighting what has been effective and what might need adjustment.
-
Reflection and Insight: Regularly writing in a grimoire encourages deep reflection on one’s practices, experiences, and the lessons learned from them. This introspection can lead to greater self-awareness and insights, fostering personal growth and a deeper understanding of the magical arts.
-
Clarification of Intentions: The act of writing helps clarify thoughts and intentions, making one’s magical goals more defined and attainable. This clarity enhances the focus and direction of one’s practice.
-
Enhanced Learning: Keeping a detailed record aids in the learning process, allowing practitioners to revisit and study past workings, understand patterns, and refine their skills over time.
-
Magical Experimentation: A journal or grimoire serves as a safe space to plan, theorize, and record the results of magical experiments. This encourages creativity, innovation, and the development of a personalized magical practice.
-
Spiritual Development: Beyond the practical aspects, maintaining a grimoire can be a deeply spiritual practice, connecting practitioners to their higher selves, deities, spirits, or the universe. This connection is essential for personal growth within the realms of magick.
-
Legacy and Tradition: For some, a grimoire is not just a personal tool but a legacy to pass down through generations or share within a community, contributing to the evolution of magick as a collective practice.
In essence, the practice of keeping a journal or grimoire is a multifaceted tool that supports the practitioner’s journey through the realms of magick, offering a structured way to evolve their practice while fostering personal growth and self-discovery.

I maintain 3 journals and what could be called a grimoire.
1. My Dream Journal for recording first thing when I wake up. It also includes any thoughts I have about them.
2. A Synchronicity Journal that goes in my pocket for events I encounter that seem related to workings or randomly improbable. I also use this to record Randonautica results.
3. The Grimoire is specific documentation on workings to and eventually their results. I DO keep a record in the last 10 pages of expected results and look for that in my Working Journal. It also includes prayers and poetic works.
3. My Working Journal is where I document and plan my day to day praxis. It includes a calendar function, planetary data, daily meditation results, daily operation of divination tools, Variations planned and discovered, planned rituals. All of these items are contemplated with pen in hand at the end of the day.
I figure one day my daughters will have a hell of a bonfire or a loooot of reading to do.
