Christian Witchcraft: How to Create Your Own 'Witch's Bible' in 4 Steps
While witches of other traditions work with Books of Shadows and grimoires, Christian Witches can create their very own Witch's Bible. Here's how...
What Is a Witch’s Bible?
Glad you asked! Let’s explore what it is and, if you’re inspired, how to create your own and what to record in it.
A Witch’s Bible is a book of witchcraft you create to house your magickal and mystical notes, secrets and workings. While you’ll hear this type of book referred to as a ‘grimoire’ or ‘Book of Shadows’, I call mine a Witch’s Bible.
It could be that the word ‘bible’ suits me as a Christian Witch because my subconscious understands well the value of a bible, so it’s easy to apply the principle to witchcraft.
You could create more than one Witch’s Bible and have each focused on a specific area of your magickal life. I have an entire book devoted to Kabbalah, for instance.
If you choose to create one or more, your Witch’s Bible contains:
Spells and all correspondences, including ingredients, incantations, when to cast, etc.
Your Spirit Team of ancestors, guides, angels and even animal familiars or helpers you work with. This is the cast of beings you work with beyond the 3D world to effect change and ascend.
Divination methods to include Tarot, oracle cards, pendulums, tea leaves, cowrie shells, bones and other methods of divination, how you use them and your best kept secrets along with notes and drawings.
Rituals for moon cycles, the equinoxes and solstices, coming of age rituals, baby blessings, house blessings, weddings/partnerings and more.
Herbs, plants, flowers, essential oils and all natural items are also recorded in your Witch’s Bible. Witches use limitless items from nature for healing, spell work, cleansing and purification, rituals, teas and more. Record your natural substances, what they’re used for and notes and drawings (if desired).
Meditation, visioning, prayers and daily spiritual practices that ascend you as a witch and your magick, rituals and spell work. Write out daily spiritual protocols, breath work sequences, tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), mantras, and all that lifts your consciousness to the highest planes before, during and after your formal spell work and rituals.
Sigils and notes, steps and ideas on sigil magick.
People you love and hold dear and your highest dreams for them.
Anything else you desire to record, keep notes on, draw out, or keep track of related to your magick, witchcraft and rituals.
How To Create Your Witch’s Bible in 4 Steps
Now that we’ve talked about what a Witch’s Bible is, if you desire to create your own, here are guiding steps (not to be followed as rule or law. Witches don’t abide rules.) These are simply ideas, inspiration, and starting points or jumping off places to fan the flames of your OWN MAGICK that lives inside YOU. Nothing outside of yourself holds the answers for you.
Step 1 - Set your intention.
What do you intend to accomplish with this particular Witch’s Bible? Ideas of intentions:
to be a better spell crafter
to be a better spell caster
to observe and note the timeline of your spells and when they manifest
to get better at ritual creation
to manifest a new home, lover, great wealth, expand your business, etc.
to heal a bodily issue
to create a Coven
to introduce new magickal practices that you’re unfamiliar with, such as the Feast of the Dead Ritual
to make sure your subconscious understands that you are a full blown witch/wizard/warlock
Step 2 - Allow the PERFECT notebook, journal, sketch book to appear before you.
It’s important that you don’t go looking for your Witch’s Bible. It must come to you. Trust that it will appear in front of you. This is a magickal book, that will be full of magick. It aligns that you would allow it to come to you by magickal means. When it appears, you’ll instantly know it. Take action and procure it (especially if it’s a little pricey). The Universe could be signaling to you to invest more in your magick for outstanding results, and drawing you further out of any lack or limitation in the mind when it comes to magick and witchcraft. This path requires investment.
Of course, keep within reasonable financial resource usage for you. Just keep in mind that magickal tools, items and implements will now be a line item in your financial spending plan.
FYI, I have more than one Witch’s Bible. They all cost more than I was expecting, yet I bought them anyway and never regretted the investment. Besides, you’ll have this book for decades.
Step 3 - Cleanse, clear, purify, consecrate, dedicate and bind your Witch’s Bible.
When it appears in front of you, here are steps you can take with your new Witch’s Bible:
Cleansed and cleared - run it through the smoke of palo santo or sage. Open the book and be sure the pages are also cleansed with the smoke.
Purified - perform purification rites over your Witch’s Bible of incantations that clear ANY and ALL energies from any person, store, manufacturing facility, truck or mode of transport it has been on, boxes, shipping containers and more. FREE it of ANY and ALL energies in this purification rite. For me, purification is a deeper cleansing and clearing.
Consecrated and dedicated - you now consecrate your Witch’s Bible for the purpose of your witchcraft, spell work, rituals and magick. Consecration and dedication make the purpose of your Witch’s Bible clear to you, it and the Universe. It is a consecrated and dedicated tool for your magickal purposes, and thus will be imbued with energy.
Bound - to you. Bind the book to you. You could use a binding ritual with cords, rope or ribbon, or you could bind it with a bit of your blood in the book. However you choose to bind it, it will answer and respond to no one except you. To go steps further, you could cast cloaking spells on it so that no find it or read it.
Your intuition will lead you through these steps, or modify the steps, or add other steps. Or, you can join us in the Christian Witches Mystery School for detailed discussion of how to do this, and ideas from many other Christian Witches.
Step 4 - Make filling it a ritual.
This is the fun part! Set aside times that you will fill your Witch’s Bible. Moon cycles are perfect, since you may be conducting rituals anyway. You can fill your Witch’s Bible as you go through the steps of your moon cycle rituals.
Use purple pens or dragon’s blood ink if desired. Write in a magickal hand writing style that amplifies your magick.
Draw in it for clarity and to make it visually interesting, unique and evocative. Your Witch’s Bible can inspire you to more magick! Place items in it that are of special note, such as:
dried leaves, herbs, flowers, etc.
ribbon or cords you use for binding magick
greetings cards you receive
anything special you’d like to keep in it
