In a few months, I’m going on a cruise to Mexico. I was wondering what kind of spells I could do while on the ship, and ported in Mexico. What are some rituals that y’all do around water, especially if you worship a deity which has control or is related to the water?

Grimoire?
Journaling has been a major downfall of mine, especially when it comes to the craft.
I would write in my journal and feel as though I wasn’t doing it right. I only reflected on my day and see how could I incorporate it spiritually, but eventually I’ve disconnected.
One day, I decided I wanted more of a grimoire, so I started journaling my daily tarot pulls. While I felt it helped, the feeling of something missing lingered and my poor journal waited for my return.
Recently, I was cleaning my room and spotted my journal. I instantly felt bad because being a writer myself, I felt disappointed at my lack of creativity. I wanted to write about the craft, but what?
I was reading about academic journaling in my journalism class, and a idea sparked in the middle of my chapter.
Typically in academic journals, it’s recording any to all information that’s being researched. It starts with an idea/hypothesis/thesis, and your journaling goes from there. Anything you learn or think about, it’s recorded and eventually developed from new research.
I looked at all of the tabs on my laptop of things I’m researching regarding the craft, and I knew that any to all information should be recorded.
It makes me wonder, are academic journals inspired from grimoires of the past? Breaking down the science of your studies?
I feel more than ready now to continue in my old journal with new, fresh information, and also the start of something new.
I recently researched dream magic, that eventually turned into a web of ideas. I’ll give a list of how I started with one topic that lead into many, a perfect start for my grimoire:
Dream Magic
Illusion Magic
Sensory Illusion
Optical Illusion
Light Spectrum
Radio Waves
Electrical Impulses
Energy Work
Mindfulness
Crown Chakra
Mirage
Crystal Ball
Crystal Scrying
Obsidian
Black Mirrors
I started with one topic, dream magic. In my research, I started noticing key words that lead into more research to where everything above is recorded in my journal/grimoire.
I’ve always thought of grimoires as books full of old spells that’ll change the reality around me in an instant just by reading the words outloud.
It never dawned on me that a grimoire is a book of personal research. The information may not be useful to many, but to the user it’s a powerful tool because they understand the whats, whys, and hows of the information recorded.
Journal is the Witches modern term for grimoire, and scientists use a similar concept in their academic journaling.
Knowledge is power, and that is what we create in our journals. It starts with an idea that goes down a rabbit hole of discoveries, connections, and even new ideas.
How do you write your words of power?

Witch Tip
While writing in your journal/grimoire, pulling tarot during the process can also be a part of your research by using spirit to bring depth into your information.

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.
