In this lesson, we will introduce the magickal diary...how it works, what's it used for, how do we write it, and how do we read it.
Well, think of it as a learning tool. This way, you can learn about yourself, and about your Magick. In a way, you are teaching yourself...you're the author, and the reader, and only you can read it and write it. The Magickal diary can be written in your book of shadows (The book you keep your spells in (spell book)), or a special book - a diary. In the diary, we write our experiances with magick so that we can look back on what we did, and learn from it. When we write in it, on the first page of the paper, we write the following:
- The spell/ritual/excercise 's title,
- The whole process,
- and leave a spece for the rating of the spell so you can rate it based on its results when the spell is cast and has taken effect. If it hasen't taken any effect (not worked), you just write ''not working'' in it, or if you want to cast it again sometime, write ''try again'' instead of the rating.
On the other page of the paper, wite the correspondences that were present at the time and place the spell was cast. for example:
- Moon stage,
- Date,
- Time,
- Day,
- Place,
- Anyone present,
- Mood,
- Tools you used, ect...
Under the whole thing, write your thoughts on the spell, and if it worked or not and your thoughts on the results of the spell. When you've written everything, and want to look back on it, you can see which correspondences suit you best, wat kind of spells suit you best, which elements you work best with, and so on.
It's a VERY big bonus if you write your magickal diary to look back into things later. It's never to
late to start one...very experianced witches still use the diaries after 30 years of practice, to look back on what spells they did and to even create a spell to brake a spell they did a long time ago, to rid of its effect. So you can see that the diary brings a lot of good things to your workings and you can learn so very much from it. I suggest you start making one
Blessed be!
