omg this is the answer i have been looking for…i could never imagine putting together a mix of journals and after watching, i am so inspired in having separate journals for my tarot card readings, and a separate one as reference and studying. thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@aurorasky4619]

i love this! i have 2 main witchcraft journals, the first is my "fancy" book of shadows that i try to make look nice and then i have my "messy" book of shadows where i take notes on things i learn and make lists and sigils & stuff

[@RachelleinTheory]

I love this hahaha. You have to have somewhere to be messy!

[@marianamasbooks]

OH WOW. I just discovered your channel today (through your 2023 Hobonichi weeks video) and I love your videos!! I love how you plan and the systems, methods and planners you use. That was enough for me to subscribe, but then I went to your channel and discovered the tarot + planning content and… yeah, favorite planning channel 😍 I’m currently binging your past videos haha

[@RachelleinTheory]

YAY thank you for subscribing and for the good vibes ♥️♥️

[@paperstorycraft]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that leaves a few blank pages in the front. I don’t have a dedicated journal yet but I’m definitely thinking of making a dream journal.

[@Voltergeist]

Hellenic polytheist here! Wonderful journal! I keep devotional notebooks and stuff dedicated to the gods in one section of my traveler's and other things like tarot journaling in another, alongside other field notes like for herbs and tinctures, etc...! Thanks for sharing! I feel inspired to do a video tour now too...Maybe some day when I'm more open about it. I've been loving your videos.

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thank you so much for this comment

[@tiantuatara]

This is great! I have a spiritual diary/notebook. I used to use the Witches Datebook when I ran my group because everybody could get on the same page for ritual dates. I'm mostly solitary these days and my practice is more sporadic. I like the idea of making your own calendar to make it easier to track from moon to moon. Oh yeah - I'm Wiccan.

[@MsLina135]

Cahier is French for notebook or like a workbook. Pronounced “kah-YAY” 😊

[@RachelleinTheory]

Ka-yay! I’ll remember that. Thanks for commenting!

[@theminnesotawitch]

I'm a witchy folk pagan!! 😍 loved this setup- my system is: -grimoire: potions notebook from the archer and olive halloween collection (B5) -witchy planner: erin condren vertical with a cover from cocoa paper planner -my bullet journal for notes from leuchturrm and then I have two A&O notebooks for deity work! ☺️✨

[@RachelleinTheory]

Nice!!

[@IchigoSpaz]

I am thinking of turning my 2023 A&O sub box journal into a tarot/grimoire bujo. It seems perfect for it. You are correct that there isn’t much out there for us, so I truly appreciate your video!

[@giovannam925]

I have like 3 journals that I would like to be all in one. Still looking but I guess I can make my own but what a chore! lol

[@MarisaMcCall]

I love this! My current grimoire is in a B6 Stalogy but I love the idea of having the different booklets in a TN setup :) Maybe after I finish this current one, that's the direction I go too. I have TONS of stuff in Standard TN size from when that was my main planner. Thanks for the walkthrough and the inspiration!

[@Vercopaanir]

I don’t currently have a dedicated spiritual notebook, but I do a daily (ish) tarot pull and make note of it in my bullet journal ahead of my daily log!

[@RootedMystic]

i just found you yesterday (through a friend), and am pretty much devouring most of your videos but this (so far) is absolutely my fave. thanks tons for recording and sharing all of this!!! ✨

[@RachelleinTheory]

Omg I'm so glad that someone recommended me to you, I'm so honored! Thanks for commenting and enjoy the vids

[@rbevans4648]

Congratulations on following the path of your truth, and thank you for sharing your spiritual planner, or at least portions of it. Most of my spirituality stuff is just in my journals, but it would be great to be more organized with it. What you are doing with your planner is inspiring! I will be thinking on how I might implement a spiritual planner.Thanks for posting this.

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm so happy that it could inspire you. Honestly, organizing all of it is a real challenge sometimes but worth it :) Have a great day!

[@yvonne4828]

Love this video and sharing your resources. Thanks for sharing this side of your planning and learning.

[@shainajohnson9355]

You mentioned thia video in a different video and i said "show me that witchy sh*t" now im here

[@shainajohnson9355]

Omg getting further into the video and I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED

[@RachelleinTheory]

YES you found it 😂

[@RoopaDudleyPaintings]

To me, Tarot is more of a journey and psychological state that gives us self-awareness. Imagery is there to trigger deep rooted feelings and recognize them - in other words giving form to an otherwise abstract concept to gain wisdom and understanding. The more iconic and symbolic the Tarot, the better the insights. Having said that, people practice faith for spiritual reasons. Yes, the traditional religions are not in fashion now, however, some of the best Tarot Decks can be self-transcendence oriented. They can unlock hidden and profound meanings that otherwise would have remained unexplored. I love Paul Foster Case's Tarot Book for that reason.

[@WhaleTank]

Thank you for sharing this. This is something very personal and vulnerable to share. I am not a spiritual person, but like to learn about different perspectives. I never knew that less dominate spiritualities may lack in tailored notebooks or planners. Have you ever considered turning some of your designs into printables?

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thank you for commenting!! I have considered it. Maybe some day!

[@LeaverWild]

Love. This. Video. ❤❤❤ So good to see a spiritual journal based on a very personal spiritual path. I have a similar one, but you don’t see them much on SM. TYFS! 🙏🏽

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thank you Betty!!! I'm so glad you liked the video. I'm happy to share and will definitely do more

[@annelyle5474]

I have a whole bunch of journals and notebooks for my spiritual practice, most of them A5 hard-bound notebooks, but also a B6 traveller's notebook with inserts for my 2022 monthly and sabbat readings, 5-year deck diary, etc. I'm not always good at keeping up with them, but I hope to do better in 2023!

[@chapter48creative]

Thank you so much for sharing. ❤ Right now I’m using a Nanami B6 Slim for most of my tarot and “magic writing”. I have a 2023 A6 Hobonichi I plan to move into for everything I do daily (a single card pull, gratitude, etc) and then keep my magic writing in the Nanami.

[@rakisk8r]

Couldn't love this more. Thank you!!

[@yourwildlifecoaching429]

That's for doing this! I've had the Magic of i before but didn't use it--it just didn't work for me as an actual planner for work/productivity. I've been using a Clever Fox for the past two years and that's worked well (ish), but didn't help me make any progress or keep track of my spiritual stuff. I've decided this year that I'm going to use two planners -- the Clever Fox for my work and "external" stuff, and another one for my spiritual and internal stuff--so I'm going back to the magic of i for that. For a while I was keeping track of tarot readings in an Archer & Olive notebook and gluing in photocopies of the cards and kind of art journaling them...but I found I never looked back at the spreads. What I'm doing now is just writing them down in a totally not pretty way in a Stalogy, and then going back over them and highlighting important things and action items. This way I can quickly look at it and pull out stuff that I want to follow up on.

[@RachelleinTheory]

That’s a great idea with the stalogy. I might have to try that too! Thank you for sharing :)

[@nekopug]

I love that you posted this! I also use a travelers notebook for my spiritual stuff (witchy Taoist). Would love to see more of your craft!

[@icefireobsidian7490]

You might want to look at an A5 choose to do planner cover if your low on space. You can have two hardcover A5 books in there comfortably. I like your idea I tried a ring binder and I hated it for spiritual stuff and I went back to hard cover books but honestly I need other note books etc for my studies.

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thanks for the rec!

[@konagirl780]

This is an excellent Book of Shadows based on your life. Keep up the great work; it’s (and you are) inspiring!

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thank you so much! 🥺

[@dianarose2683]

I love this idea!! I tend to keep a ton of notebooks and this fixes that. I’ve been keeping a digital BOS for the last couple of years and it’s helped a lot but I miss having a physical

[@badpoetry33]

Incredible…!!! Can you share what info you used for your ancient Greek religion studies? It’s something that is really speaking to me… I’ve always loved the classics and studied ancient Greek and the pantheon. I would love to check it out, and curious what you got out of your journey and if you found any particularly helpful materials. Thank you!

[@angelize6822]

Thank you for sharing this! I feel the same way how there's no planner that fits this niche market. I've been using a traveller style notebook with 3 inserts (one for spells, another for spreads, and the last as a grimoire). I also use a Leuchtturn 1917 dot grid notebook to journal my tarot readings and Sabbats rituals. With regards to the MWOBS course, would you mind doing a video to give a review...of course not giving it all away, but maybe just share your experience so far, the pros/cons, etc? Thanks!

[@turningcursive2255]

Found your channel yesterday and love it! I keep travelers notebook for my witchy journals and planners- I do tarot so frequently that I moved that book into my regular journal/personal travelers notebook- love the idea of a sigil workbook! Planners are fun and not to send you down a rabbit hole- but have you heard of the zettlekasten/ notecard method? That’s what I use to track correspondences, crystals, herbs, etc.

[@RachelleinTheory]

Oh no... it's too late... i'm already falling down the rabbit hole 😂 I've never heard of it but I will certainly be learning about it now! Thanks for commenting and watching :)

[@CaffeinatedMomster]

I love how organized this is!

[@deniseholmes7958]

Haven't been doing tarot readings for a while, but seeing how you keep track of your readings and other study elements is inspiring. I used to write reading notes on little pieces of paper and keep them in my box of most-used tarot cards but that wasn't very useful. Thanks for the inspiration! And for the idea of putting a 'year reading' in your Hobo Cousin.

[@RachelleinTheory]

You are so welcome! Glad you got something out of this :)

[@thepositivevibesartist]

Thank you for sharing what I know is very personal. I’ve been an eclectic witch since 1980 & in 1998 discovered that there are witches in my paternal line. I just finished The Ancestral Tarot. It’s one of the best tarot books I’ve ever read. I recommend 78 Degrees of Wisdom & also Forest of Souls, both excellent tarot books by Rachel Pollack. I’m using a journaling g system very similar to yours. I’m moving into a Hobonichi Cousin for the first time in 2023. I wanted a catch-all planner/ journal & I’m planning on tracking my spiritual practice in it.

[@RachelleinTheory]

The hobonichi cousin will be such a great planner for that. So glad you liked ancestral tarot and I definitely want to read some Rachel pollack! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. ♥️

[@becomingbonnie]

I need a planner like this is my life! 🤩

[@kelseygs8]

Love this planner set up! You've inspired me to set up one of my own!

[@pointeplusplus]

I identify with a non-traditional religion: Atheopaganism =] I'm still shaping my organizational system but right now it's a combination of digital, a 3 ring binder for more refererce-y material, and a loose leaf stack with binder rings (and covers) for more active writing. I really like the ability to move pages around or to add/remove pages. I'm that person that sometimes prints things instead of rewriting them. I like the freedom of being able to do that and have the option of writing it out later or rewrite something if I really mess up. Maybe I just need all of those options to not feel anxiety 😅

[@RachelleinTheory]

I feel you! I also have digital tarot journals and reference material haha. You sometimes just need a lot!

[@secondcupASMR]

First off, I just have to say that when I first started watching you a few months ago, I was like 😳😳😳 because we are THE. SAME. when it comes to planning preferences and philosophy BUT ALSO all the witchy stuff! So…umm…hi new friend! I love what you’ve done with this system! I’ve only tried one astrological planner but it didn’t really hit the mark for me. But it did give me an idea that I will share with you in case you can use it-what about getting a personal-planner and mark in the moons and major astrological events? If you can stand their one available font, that is 😅 Personally I’ve settled on subscribing to a Google calendar with the astrological dates on it and just writing them down in my Hobonichi as they come up. Can’t wait to see this system evolve for you! 🖤

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thank you 🥺 This is so sweet. I do subscribe to a moon phase calendar on my GCal, would love to get an astrological one. Thank you so much for watching and commenting

[@MercyCuenca]

I love this, I said it on my "Sister Vibes!" list!

[@MercyCuenca]

In my mind it's a HUGE set of binders/books with sub-sections, similar to chapters. In reality I have loose papers with chicken scratch, memorabilia, pictures and who knows how many journals with purely random notations & some standard work. I truly love this and plan to try it!

[@Katiedora122]

Laughing to myself because I unintentionally got the exact same notebook and decided to use it as my tarot journal on a whim LOL! My interest is more on the intellectual side vs spiritual, if that makes sense, so I'm not really journaling personal stuff but I did want a place to compile all my notes. So I have a space at the beginning for general tarot info that I find interesting, a space at the end for some spreads that I like using, and then the rest of the notebook has two pages dedicated to each card and its meanings (and I used the sticker sheet from Writual Planner for a visual). But I was just looking around for some more inspiration and I knew you have a video, so apparently I was already more inspired than I realized 🤣

[@RachelleinTheory]

Hahah that's amazing 😂 I always want to do something like that on an individual deck basis, like with each deck! That would be a lot of work, but I think pretty fun.

[@thecaitlynhowarth]

I love this idea! I have been trying and trying to get all of my stuff organized but I hate the idea of one notebook being all jumbled. I might have to explore ways to make me one of these! I love this cover too, so simple and gets the job done!

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thank you Caitlyn!

[@karenbota3118]

I was so happy to see this. I’ve been watching your planning videos and something you mentioned along the way made me think you were practicing this spirituality. I’ve come back to it after a time away, and am wondering: is there a way to incorporate it into a regular journal so the craft isn’t so separate?

[@kikiwylde]

Oooh I love this. Last year I combined my spiritual planning and goal planning together but I think it would be worthwhile changing it up again next year

[@RachelleinTheory]

Omg, spiritual and goal planning does sound intense though.... I bet that planner packed a punch!

[@Adventuresover40]

I have been wanting to keep a journal and have been struggling with it. The TN setup might be something that will work for me. I have one and a few notebooks and am going to give it a try. I have been recently looking into moon phases and have some books I just got about them. Thanks for sharing. I can imagine how hard that must of been.

[@RachelleinTheory]

Thanks Priscilla

[@aliciavilas5411]

Great idea. You inspired me to create a spiritual planner/journal. 🧡

[@RachelleinTheory]

Yay omg!

[@melissasnyder5268]

Same….so excited

[@Karen_Tries]

Ah this makes me think that I would totally get a new travelers journal just for my sigils and tarot reading and spells and other witchy things - 1 insert per subject! ❤❤great idea- why didn’t I think of that when I already have a travel journal and bullet journal?! 😂😂 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@buysellplan]

I just discovered your channel and love it! New subscriber🎉 I love the idea of a spiritual journal. This is something I’m just getting into so the timing of this video was perfect. Would love to see more content on this!

[@RachelleinTheory]

Welcome welcome!! It will certainly come :)

[@fknhippieschick]

I am noew to tarot and just found a deck that called to me. I am now looking into ways to journal my path. I am not sure how or where to start. I was looking into premade ones but they didn't feel right. So I am thinking I might need to just make my own. Do you have any sugestions of what I should make sure to cover in the journal?

[@JayleePlanz]

I was using happy planner for my tarot , then I went to making my own inside a a5 stalogy...and now Im in between a hobonichi or a moleskine lol. Great video!

[@RachelleinTheory]

amazing how tarot can be put in so many planners haha. thanks!

[@hannahlouise8036]

What’s your opinion on the MWOBS course? Would love to know!

[@RachelleinTheory]

I really like it! The real magic is in the worksheets, which if done correctly really hammer the lessons into you. Sabrina's practice and teaching is very spirit focused, but is otherwise practice-agnostic with a slight focus on North American craft. There's also a whole module on belief and cosmology, which I'd never seen before from other spiritual teachers. It helps you really examine what you believe and how you believe it, and what effect that has on your spiritual practice. It is a steep price point though. For MWOBS I got a good discount for being the starting cohort and for TWOBS (her tarot course) I waited until she had a sale so that I could afford it. She's closing out one of the most valuable aspects of the courses though, which is the live calls every month. (The community forum is still there but live calls are not.) I'm not sure how her pricing model will change with the live class calls gone, and of course it's possible she may offer a new version with modified benefits. So if you're thinking about buying, I would wait and see if it fits into your budget. (You get access to all the prerecorded live calls of course, but there's nothing like being able to ask your specific questions and get your specific answers.) I hope this helps!

[@asaliearthwork]

Thanks for sharing!

[@frostglow]

If you're still curious about how to pronounce 'cahier', it's French. So you'd pronounce it kinda like 'kai-yay' 😆❤

[@thesavvyrose5453]

What size is the cover for this journal? Been debating getting a traveler's journal but the regular size seems like it'd be difficult to find journals to fit. Yours seems to have plenty of room but idk if that's just cause you found fitting journals or your using a different size!

[@RachelleinTheory]

I think I mention this in the video, but I basically searched Amazon for a traveler's notebook cover that was made for the Moleskine Cahier notebooks in A5. So, it's not from Traveler's Company.

[@barbararivera2380]

:)

[@HeidiBidels]

Cahier is the French word for notebook and is pronounced "ka-yay" :)
