while it can definitely be a fun and motivating way to get in touch with your craft, your grimoire does not have to be full of watercolors or biologically correct doodles of herbs. for a long time i was ripping pages out of my grimoire because they didn’t look perfect, rebloggable - and it kept me from the grimoire’s true purpose, to record information for later reference and use. your grimoire is yours for the making. it can be a word document, a collection of quick notes on the backs of receipts, a notebook previously used for science class, a full-scale art book. as long as it helps you learn and grow closer to your practice, it is the perfect grimoire.
i think the only thing wrong with some of us is that we’re being robbed of traditional jobs like woodworking artisans and witch doctors and being forced to like… write a cv and breathe stale air conditioner air when we should be barefoot hauling oranges from an orchard…
Here's the thing about shows like South Park and Family Guy that make their money off of being edgy and offensive. They fundamentally reduce their viewers' capacity for empathy. If I found a joke funny, and you found it offensive, you're just too sensitive. This is directly related to the ride of the alt right and the election of trump. In this essay I will

You know, I just had a very interesting meditation. I was trying to get to my responsibilities by making nice with a certain angel, but he refused to come talk to me. Said that I needed a change of heart first, basically. So I decided to talk to myself. Something I don’t do as often as I probably should. And I taught myself a lesson. If you’re like me, and don’t even know what you are, who you are, or what your purpose is, then think about this. Why worry about those things when you need to just be yourself. Stop worrying if you have a greater purpose, that will come to you when it’s time. Stop worrying about who or what you are, just be who you wanna be and live the life you want to live. If you have responsibilities like I do, don’t view them as a chore, view them as a chance to make the world a better place. No matter how small it may be. Learning who and what you are is a life long process, and even if you already know, it’ll take that lifetime to fully understand it and why. Your journey is your own, make it what you want it to be. Love yourself, quirks and all. And be yourself, because in the end the only persons happiness that matters most is your own. It’s not about what you are, it’s about who you are and wanna be.

My sigils are basically just a variant of the Witch’s Sigil Wheel. I’ve just added my own flare to it. If you don’t know what that is, it’s this thing, you kind find pictures of it on google pretty easy.
The first thing you’re gonna want to do is come up with your phrase. This will set the sigils intention. We’re gonna use the phrase “The Earth keeps me safe” for this example. Once you’ve got that figured out, pick out the words that are most important to you. We’re going to use “Earth” and “Safe” as our keywords.
(note: traditionally letters that are doubled are taken out, and only single appearing letters make the points.)
Next thing you’re gonna do, is draw lines from one letter to the next. You’ll be making separate lines for each word. Feel free to curve some of these lines, but i think it looks like a mountain or a crystal so we’re gonna keep it c:
And then the next word.
This is really starting to look like a crystal in my eyes! Now it’s time to add some flare. One thing I like to do is add circles around letters that have multiple points on them. And I add crossing lines to any other line that doesn’t have an angle or connection.
To really long lines, I like to add another line parallel to it.
The last part, make it personal! Add some sort of your own flare to it.
I played around with the crystal idea that I was getting, and added things to make it look sparkling and an arrow in the middle to represent protection.
Lastly I like to keep my sigils in circles, but feel free to skip this step and call it done! Here’s what I came up with!
If you make one, please reblog with a picture! I’d love to see ^u^ Hopefully this helps.
