🍁A table of contents is a wonderful idea and can be a great help, but it really is up to you.
🍁Try and plan what you’re going to write down and when.
🍁You can write down every idea you have in a notebook aside first to organise and plan if you want (this is what I do but I do consider myself a little bit of a perfecionist haha)
🍁You can print out photos, dry out flowers and herbs, add stickers, doodle and more to decorate your Grimoire if you’d like. It makes it more personal, but in the end the most important thing is that you understand it.
🍁And remember that it is your Grimoire, try not to compare it to anyone else’s and remember that witchcraft is all about personalization. If you do not have a Grimoire that’s okay too, this is your craft and your rules♡

The word was created by the controversial occultist Alister Crowley (1875-1947) who founded the religion Thelema which later became known as Wicca.
One reason he added a ‘k’ was to separate between entertainment magic and witchcraft magick.
Many thing the distinction isn’t necessary but there are other reasons Crowley did this.
Crowley’s philosophy of Thelema meant that he also used the word magick to describe any act that brings someone closer to what he called their ‘True Will’; their purpose in life.
Will is different than want
I can make a post about Crowley and True Will in the future
EDIT: I have made a post about True Will, just click the link.
In 1886 (about 11 years from 1875) Crowley’s father, a devout Christian and preacher, passed. Crowley, a formerly devoted follower of Christianity out of respect for his father, began to turn his back on the Christian religion, pointing out irregularities in the Bible. His mother, also a Christian, because of this called him “The Beast.”
When Crowley created the word ‘magick’ he lengthened a five letter word to six letters, the number six being sacred in many beliefs. Interestingly, according to Genesis, God created man on the 6th day. In the Bible, Revelation 13:18, God assigned the number 666 to man and to the Beast.
Revelation 13:18
“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
The letter K is also the 11th number of the alphabet. This number has huge significance to Crowley and he often wrote about its importance: “Firstly”, 11 is the number of Magick in itself” along with his well-known phrase “Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law” which has eleven words and eleven syllables.
Some people refrain from using ‘magick’ due to Crowleys reputation and the several stories surrounding his life, others use ‘magik’ or ‘majick’ or variations of said word. But there is no right or wrong here and you can use ‘magick’ or not, it’s all up to the witch at hand. I just use it to differentiate magick and magic.
