Pages In My Grimoire That Just Make Sense: Basic Information Pages

The next few pages in my grimoire are filled with fun and fascinating info! I’ve included simple breakdowns of different types of witches and witchcraft, along with a mix of magical legends and stories—from local lore to worldwide wonders. These tales are especially special to me because I originally put them together for my son, as a magical way to bond and spark his imagination. It’s such a heartwarming way to welcome your little ones into your world of witchcraft! I’ve also added some of the traditional rules and witch laws I was taught growing up—whether I stick to them or not is a different story! Let’s take a closer look at each page and see what enchantment they hold.

Types of Witches and Witchcraft

There are sooo many kinds of magic, witches, and ways to practice the craft—it’s truly a beautifully diverse world! You might be a Solitary Witch, walking your magical path alone, or maybe you're drawn to the community of a Coven Witch or the deep-rooted traditions of a Hereditary Witch. There are Green Witches and Herbal Witches, Forest Witches and Hedge Witches, Swamp Witches and Sea Witches—each deeply connected to nature in their own way.

The types of magic are just as varied: Elemental Magic, Cosmic Magic, Plant Magic, Light and Dark Magic, Voodoo, Hoodoo, Glamour Magic, Crystal Work, Energy Healing, Divination, and Fortune Reading, to name just a few. Some witches cast spells for good, some for shadow work, some for self-growth, and others to help the world around them.

From curious baby witches just starting out to experienced High Priestesses, the paths are endless. Some follow structured traditions like Wicca, while others create their own rules entirely. When choosing your path, there are no limits—you can blend practices, stick to one tradition, or carve out something uniquely your own. It’s your magic, your journey.

Legends and Stories

One of my favorite sections in my grimoire is dedicated to magical legends and folklore—from my home state of Michigan to stories across the U.S., and even mystical tales from around the world. These pages are a little slice of storytelling magic, perfect for sharing with fellow witches, friends, or family during a cozy evening by candlelight.

Michigan alone is full of enchantment—tales of haunted lighthouses, the mysterious Dogman of the north woods, and spirits said to linger around old mining towns. Across the U.S., I’ve collected stories of Appalachian granny magic, New Orleans voodoo queens, and desert witches of the Southwest. And globally? The magical lore never ends—think forest spirits of Japan, Norse seiðr magic, African rootwork traditions, and ancient Celtic fae tales.

These stories aren’t just fun—they’re powerful connections to the energy and traditions of the land and people who came before us. Whether you're looking for inspiration, history, or a bedtime tale to pass down to your little ones, this section is a great way to keep the magic alive in your family and your circle.

Basic Magical Information

In this next section of my grimoire, I’ve gathered pages devoted to the laws, powers, and guiding principles of the craft. Think of it as the "code of magic"—not strict rules, but gentle reminders and intentions to help keep us grounded and growing on our path.

One of my favorite examples to include is the Thirteen Goals of a Witch. While I don’t follow each one every single day (and that’s okay!), I find that having goals or intentions is such a powerful part of being a witch. They offer direction, reflection, and a sense of purpose when the path gets murky.

I’ve also set aside pages for my personal pagan history—stories passed down through family, along with research I’ve done over the years. These pages are where I dive into the roots of witchcraft across cultures and time, exploring the lives, legends, and lessons of witches from all over the world. You will also find a growing list of books I want to read (or already loved), topics I’m curious about, and pages filled with spells, chants, and magical artwork—some hand-drawn, some printed, all chosen with intention. This part of my grimoire feels especially personal, like a living record of where I’ve been, what I’m learning, and the magic I want to carry forward.

The first few pages of your grimoire are truly just about you—your craft, your history, your life, your dreams. This is your sacred space to explore who you are as a witch, what calls to your spirit, and how you want to grow. Whether you're writing down personal goals, family traditions, magical musings, or simply what inspires you, let it be beautiful, let it be yours.

Take your time. Breathe intention into every word, every sketch, every page. Your grimoire is more than just a book—it’s a living, evolving part of your magical journey. Treat it with care, love, and reverence. This time you spend with it is sacred.
