Greetings,
I too feel it is basically a persons choice how they wish to use and keep a Magickal Journal or Magickal Diary. I use two separate forms. I type my Ritual Workings, Meditations, and Magickal Practices on the computer, then I print them and use the hole puncher for holes. I place all my Daily Ritual Practices in a Black Binder and place the Date, Time, and Grade of my Workings on a White Label on the outside of the Binder.
For more personal Thoughts, Meditations, Views, and Quotes, I use Black Cloth covered Books that can be puchased with blank pages within. I may take notes throughout the day of insightful ideas or have a moment of clarity that an understanding becomes so clear I crystalize it by writting the thought down. Then, as others have stated, I recopy it into the Book. My Present Book is called "Book of the Morning" since I have been placing many insightful and inspired thoughts within its pages. It reminds me of the Morning Star rising in the East, as a Thought arising from the Darkness of my Unconscios Mind.
Hey, and Thanks to all who have shared their particular ideas on Keeping a Magickal Journal, I am glad there is still an interest in this practice. I have noticed from many Practitioners in other places they say they have quit keping a Magickal Journal. I personally like to keep them because I can review my Past experiences, learn how I have grown, or discover how I may improve a Ritual Technique.
Respectfully, Helel (Joseph)
