THE grimoire ORACLE CARD || THE MODERN GODDESS ORACLE DECK

Learning through experience.

A grimoire is a book with all kinds of magical information recorded in it. A grimoire can include favorite spells and rituals, journal entries, tarot spreads, recipes, photos, poems, drawings, quotes, and more.

Basically, you can put anything you want in your grimoire. There are literally no rules here.

When the Grimoire card shows up, it could be a sign to get out in the world and learn through experience. What can you do today to expand your knowledge?

Stop Googling things and start learning through doing. All the information you read online or in a book came from someone else being brave and bold enough to try something new and risk failure.

Go out and find mentors to help you along. Ask questions, even if you’re pretty sure they’re dumb questions. Sign up for a class. Get an internship or volunteer in a field you’ve been curious to learn more about. The drawback to learning by doing is you might fall on your face in front of other people, but what do you care, Goddess? Let them laugh. Let them roll their eyes. And honestly, they’re probably too wrapped up in their own lives to worry about judging you.

Enjoy the rush of learning a new skill and expanding your knowledge. It doesn’t matter how old you are or how impractical the skill is. Sometimes the process of learning is the reward in itself. You have a growth-mindset, Goddess, and that will always keep life interesting.

Practical Magic for the Modern Goddess

You have a few options when creating a grimoire. You can buy one at the bookstore. There are several awesome published grimoires you can choose from. You can also create one from a plain old fifty cent notebook.

If you’re new to magic, you might want to start with a published grimoire, but over time, you’ll probably feel called to create your own to record all the magic you’ve discovered through your experiences.

The most powerful rituals are often the ones you create because they will resonate deeply with you. Don’t ever be afraid to make up your own way of doing spells. It’s really fun and you’ll probably get great results.
