“I hope one day we can forgive each other for not being what we wanted each other to be”

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.

Witch tip: When you pick up candles from the dollar store, go for ones that come in sealable containers! Once the candle is used up, you can wash out the glass and use it to store herbs in a neat, decorative way 🌷
