Witchcraft: Topic Ideas For Your Book Of Shadows/Grimoire

Witchcraft: Topic Ideas for Your Book of Shadows/Grimoire

Please remember that these are just a small number of ideas! This isn't an end-all-be-all. Your magical journals should be personal to you and you alone. Additionally, your book of shadows/grimoire should always grow and change as you do. If you no longer resonate with something or find new information, add, take away, or archive pages! There is absolutely no shame in doing so. Most importantly, have fun!

ASMR: It is the year 12,000. You have strayed far from your family’s encampment while foraging for nutrients, and you stumble upon a peculiar structure in the wilderness. It is overgrown with strange, stunted plants, and as you approach, a hologram is activated. The ghostly image of an ancient votary of the atomic priesthood appears before you and delivers a pre-recorded message in a language that is at once alien to you, and strangely familiar… you have stumbled across one of the Great Old Ones nuclear waste disposal sites, from before the world moved on…

[Script is the summary of the proposed long-time nuclear waste warning messages from the Sandia report, aimed at protecting humanity from the threat of nuclear waste for at least 10,000 years, even after civilization collapse]
