Prompts for spiritual journals, grimoires, books of shadows… I hope this can provide inspiration! Please tag me or, tag the post “31 days of spiritual journaling”. I would love to see them!
- What do you believe?
- How did you come to your path? (your spiritual journey)
- Teach/Describe one of your key spiritual practices. (mindfulness, meditation, grounding, prayer, ritual…….)
- Discuss a plant or place that is important to you spiritually. Why is it meaningful to you?
- Record a recipe relating to a holiday you celebrate. How do you use this food/drink/mixture?
- Delve into your relationship with a deity, or why you don’t honor deities.
- Teach/Describe a craft or skill that‘s tied to your spirituality.
- Recommend 3 books!
- What do you do when it is hard to continue your spiritual practice or feel connected spiritually?
- Discuss offerings. What does that look like for you?
- Engage with the theme of “sacrifice” What does that mean to you?
- Delve into “Afterlife” or “Ancestors”. How do those ideas play out in your worldview? In your spiritual practice?
- Have you had experiences meeting or working with other pagans/witches? Elaborate!
- Discuss imagery or symbols that are important to you. What are they? Why are they important? How do you use them?
- Make a ‘beginners guide’ or ‘field guide’ for an important element of your practice (stones, weather, herbs, gardening, tarot, camping…)
- Engage with the theme of “love” What does that mean to you?
- Take notes on a book, article, video, or guide about something you’d like to do soon.
- Did you have experience being pagan/witchy in school? Advice for kids who grow up in a pagan/witchy home?
- What are your core values? Challenge yourself to list them and explain your choices. (Need help? get started by looking at formalized lists like Catholicism’s 7 Heavenly Virtues, the Wiccan Rede, The Nine Noble Virtues, the 7 Principles of Unitarian Universalism…)
- Create a page just for Gratitude Journaling. Does “gratitude” have a role in your practice?
- Record quotes that are deeply meaningful for you.
- Has there been a time your beliefs (pagan, pre-pagan, other…) have been deeply challenged? What was that like? What did you learn?
- Are there any songs you find spiritually meaningful currently?
- How would you describe yourself? Perhaps attempt a self-portrait. How have your self-views impacted or been changed by your spirituality?
- Describe an intensely spiritual experience you’ve had.
- Advice to New Pagans/Witches: What is a mistake you made, or a unnecessary challenge you faced, which you wish you’d been able to avoid?
- What does the theme of “courage” mean in your path?
- What is your dream home, future-self, or vacation? Can you identify aspects of your spirituality that impact that dream of yours?
- Record a dream. Do you find any meaning or significance in it?
- Do you have any experiences with tarot/runes/divination? What are your beliefs around that? If you enjoy divinatory work, do you have a theory regarding how/why it works?
- If someone was to honor you as their ancestor, what would be a meaningful and loving way for them to do that?
