How to Start a Wicca Mirror Journal

While learning any new craft it's a great idea to make note of your progress, as well as feelings and thoughts acquired throughout. Starting a mirror journal while practicing Wicca will help you as you move along your journey. It is also one of the first things recommended by practitioners.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Journal
• Wicca Books/Guides

1. Find yourself a journal. It doesn't matter what kind - a nice leather journal or spiral notebook. The instrument itself doesn't matter; what you write inside does. Use this journal only for this purpose.
2. Write down everything you feel, think, experience, note, learn, rituals performed, etc. Self-knowledge is an important concept in Wicca and recording everything that happens along your journey is essential to that.
3. Make note of areas of confusion or failures (if you wrote about a ritual that you performed) or anything that you need to work on.
4. Set a time during each day to write in your book. Find one that works for you (ie. early morning, late evening). Try and write everyday.
