How to Create a Witch Bullet Journal: A Complete Guide

A bullet journal is a powerful and customizable tool for organization, creativity, and self-discovery. For witches, it can become a sacred space for tracking spiritual practices, exploring magical correspondences, and documenting your journey. Whether you’re an experienced witch or just starting out, a witchy bullet journal is a fantastic way to blend your practice with daily life.

Here’s everything you need to know about creating a witch bullet journal!

What Is a Bullet Journal?

A bullet journal (or “BuJo”) is a flexible, self-designed planner and notebook system created by Ryder Carroll. Instead of relying on pre-made planners, you build layouts (called spreads) to suit your needs.

For witches, this can include space for mundane tasks like meal planning alongside magical elements like moon phase tracking, tarot pulls, and spell planning.

Payoff: A bullet journal helps you stay organized while channeling your creative energy into a personal, magical grimoire tailored to your needs.

How to Start Your Witch Bullet Journal

Choose Your Journal
- Notebook: Look for one with dotted or grid pages. Popular choices include Leuchtturm1917, Archer & Olive, or Moleskine.
- Magical Aesthetic: Consider colors or designs that resonate with your practice, like a black cover with silver foiling or moon-themed designs.
- My actual journals:
  - Gilded Rosettes Journal – I love the look and feel of this journal, it feels magical and use for this special occasions
  - My Daily Journal – I have about a million of these journals laying around that I use for so many things. I love the size of this journal and I do like having a little strap so I can stuff things into it without my papers falling out.
  - My Big Journal – This is the journal I use when I know I want to create bigger spreads or capture a lot of information. It’s a little bigger than I like for daily journaling, but I appreciate the extra size (I keep my wheel of the year and full moon calendars specifically in here so they don’t have to spread across multiple pages). I also use this for any online course I take.
Gather Your Supplies
- Pens and markers in magical colors (black, gold, silver, etc.).
  - My actual pens and markers:
    - Gel Pens – I do love these pens, there’s a ton of color options and they make my inner child (3rd grade specifically) very happy.
    - Colorful Highlighters – These are bright and easy to use, I typically use them for my headers or just to decorate
    - Desk Organizer – This is where I stuff all of my pens and markers and I like that it spins just for fun 🙂
- Stickers, washi tape, and stencils for decorative elements.
- A ruler for clean lines in spreads.
Set Your Intentions
- Write a short blessing or intention on the first page to dedicate your bullet journal to your spiritual practice.
Learn Basic BuJo Symbols
The bullet journal method uses symbols to keep things simple. For example:
- Task: A dot (•) for things to do.
- Event: A circle (○) for magical or mundane events.
- Note: A dash (–) for ideas or notes.
  Modify these symbols with a witchy twist if you’d like!

How to Structure Your Witch Bullet Journal

Bullet journals are built on modules like these:

Index
- The first few pages should be your index, where you’ll track your layouts and their page numbers.
Future Log
- Use this section to mark upcoming moon phases, Sabbats, retrogrades, or magical goals for the year.
Monthly Log
- Combine mundane and magical plans, such as appointments, spell timings, or rituals.
Daily Log
- A space for to-dos, reminders, and reflections. Add space to document magical insights or mini tarot readings.
Collections
- These are thematic spreads (like “Crystal Correspondences” or “Tarot Pulls”) that enhance your magical practice.
