Grimoire Ideas📖✨

   since i’m starting to work on getting my own Grimoire better organized and figuring out what i think fits best in it for me, i feel like i should log some ideas that have helped me in my journey in hopes that it could help someone else just starting out. but just remember that your Grimoire is your own and personal to you and you alone so you don’t need to put everything in if it doesn’t vibe well with you or doesn’t fit into your craft. your book should hold things that are personal to you and your craft and what you believe and you don’t need to have every bit of knowledge in your book.

            ***correspondences =things such as 》elements, colors, symbolism, planets, astrology, anatomy, ect. really anything else important tied to something.

   obviously you can pick and choose whatever works best for yourself and your craft, and i don’t even have some of these in my own book but still thought they would be helpful to include for witches like me who are just starting out who need ideas of what their books can hold! i’ll probably start posting more about my grimorire and how i keep it organized as well!

   if you think i’ve missed anything feel free to add on more ideas to pass on to your fellow baby witches!

Eggshell powder

How to make it

This is not the only method, only my personal method.

You will need:

hardboiled eggs

mortar and pestle

an oven and wax paper (optional)

patience

How to turn shells into powder

peel the eggs and remove the membrane (it takes some time but it makes the grinding easier)

if you want to make the powder right away, put the shells on a tray lined with wax paper in the oven at th5 for 5-10 minutes. It’s enough to dry the shells. Potential salmonella has been killed in the boiling process. If you have more time you can let the shells air dry.

Now to the grinding! As you can see in the first picture, my powder is not consistent. That’s because I tried a few methods.

Here I put a bit too many pieces. On the left you can see a fine-ish powder but overall there is too much eggshell to make a fine powder easily (I started to feel pain in my hand and I didn’t want to awaken my tendinitis). It’s the coarse layer in my jar.

If you want a fine powder (like the top layer in the jar in the first picture), you will need to grind the shells a little piece at a time and empty your mortar every 5-ish pieces for the finest result. In the end, it’s quicker and easier than trying to crush too many pieces at a time.

*this is the result of my experiments, a coarse eggshell powder is totally fine too (pun intended).

Let’s Talk Poppets & Spell Dolls!👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽

hollywood has massively misrepresented poppets and spell dolls as a form of evil/baneful magick (the Voodoo Doll), however, this is often far from the truth about poppet magick!

the use of poppets and spell dolls is a sympathetic form of magick which ties a magick focus or object with a soul, to an inanimate object. people use rag dolls, ceramics, photos, paper cut outs, and even animals as poppets for humans.

however i use ceramic figures! usually when i make a poppet it is used to protect or nurture a loved figure in my life. i place crystals near the poppet depending on what the person represented by the doll needs, carry the poppet in my company for lonelier friends, or i may even do spellwork involving the doll for bigger issues.

to bind a poppet to a person, use hair, belongings (scraps of clothing belonging to your subject can be stuffed inside of stitched dolls, as can topical herbs), or even just the initials or birthdate of the person will do. i paint these details on the back of the poppet.

remember if you use a poppet to do any sort of magick on a friend, it is best to ask the friend first! otherwise using a poppet may end up being controlling or an unwanted magickal intervention.

heres how i make my ceramic dolls:

I use a cheap air-drying clay called “DAS”. You can use as much or little as you like, just be aware the the bigger you make your poppet, the longer it will take to dry.

Roll your clay roughly into a potato shaped ball, and working quickly (air-drying clay dries and becomes difficult to work with fast!) snip along the dotted lines pictured above! when you pull the sniped sectors away from eachother, you should get a ugly looking body-ish shape with a bulbous head. but with some pinching and squeezing, the body will quickly become prettier.

Once you have squeezed the clay into shape, you should end up with some very simple silhouetted human shapes. I smooth the clay out using my fingers (not with any water) on the front and the back of the poppet. In 24-48 hours the poppets should be fully dry and ready for painting.

i paint the skin of the doll whatever colour i want and then give it a heart, sigils, a face, a belly button, and the name and birthdate of the person represented by the poppet on the back. i also make a few plain ones at a time so i always have some ready to use. (the paint i use is water-based acrylic paint).

i hope this is helpful to some people! i put a little extra effort into this post. don’t forget that you don’t have to make people shaped poppets! if you’re making a poppet for an animal, they would be super cute as animal shaped <3

🦉 Familiars & Allies 🦉

(also my long-ass I'M BACK! post)

Okay so what are Familiars & Allies??

Familiar - is a specific, individual creature with whom you have established a psychic bond with. A familiar's presence may be sufficient to spark and enhance your magic. Basically, familiars are creatures who can realistically live with you.

A familiar may be considered an animal ally but allies transcend the boundaries of familiars.

Animal Allies - a form of spiritual relationship: because the relationship may occur entirely in the realm of the spirit, any animal may be approached. The presiding spirit of the animal may also be approached, rather than any individual creature.

Also a person may have as many familiars and/or allies as needed!!

And now onto the spells!!

Animal Communication Spell :

(this spell uses Eve Oil as it assists and enhances communication with animals)

Place apple blossoms, dried pomegranate seeds, and snake root in a bottle.

Cover with sweet almond and jojoba oil.

Dress candles with Eve Oil to accompany visualization as well as actual physical communication.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Familiar Consecration Spell :

(for cementing and/or formalising the psychic bond between you and your familiar)

Cast a circle large enough to hold you, your familiar and any magical tools that you wish simultaneously to consecrate.

Burn frankincense on the periphery of the circle.

Sit within the circle, with your familiar, until you feel that it’s time to come out.

Repeat as needed.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Animal Ally Invitation Spell:

Choose a focal image for your altar, something that represents your ally for you. Use a toy, a photograph, or an image. It is more crucial that it resonates strongly for you than that it be a literal depiction.

Surround it with objects or images that would normally be used to lure this creature. Make the invitation as strong as possible.

If you can find candles in the shape of your desired ally or its food, add them to the altar.

Grind cinnamon and frankincense together and burn them as a spirit-summoning incense.

In addition to #2, offer literal food. Alternatively, burn images of appropriate food.

Relax. Let your eyes go slightly out of focus and await visitations.

Try this for up to thirty minutes a day, until you receive results.

Your response may still occur during your dreams so have paper and pen by your bedside to record any significant dreams.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Animal Spiritual Dedication Ritual:

A specific animal is chosen to be dedicated to a specific deity.

Purify the animal with juniper incense.

Sprinkle it with wine.

Decorate the animal with ribbons in colors associated with the specific spirit.

The animal is returned home or to its flock. It is now left alone to enjoy life as a gesture of sacrificial devotion.
