Witchcraft: Topic Ideas for Your Book of Shadows/Grimoire

Please remember that these are just a small number of ideas! This isn't an end-all-be-all. Your magical journals should be personal to you and you alone. Additionally, your book of shadows/grimoire should always grow and change as you do. If you no longer resonate with something or find new information, add, take away, or archive pages! There is absolutely no shame in doing so. Most importantly, have fun!

Original title: “Ravenswood” by Janet Louise Roberts (1971)

love how Jonathan dead said “if Mina doesn’t survive me I want all of my worldly possessions to go to these other four dudes in my vampire-hunting boy band whom I met a week ago.”

that, my friends, is shared trauma at its finest.

Hey. Don’t cry. I went to Plushie’s You Gave Away Island and they were all there, happy, and having a great time!!!

God they cut off all the internet and cellular networks in Gaza
