Reading Journals!? Why You Really Should!!
Tumblr media
I'm writing this to promote the concept of reading journals in general for occultists! 
It often seems like, while a lot of us read a ton, we don't engage enough with what we read. It's very important to think critically about the information we consume.
Keeping records of it can be helpful for that. While not everyone's going to vibe with it, I do recommend giving it a try for most witches, diviners, wizards, etc... you might like it. Keeping a reading journal? It has some advantages IMHO.
I found it works very well for keeping track of my reading goals. It also helped me engage more with what I was reading. I think this produced an altogether more interesting experience when reading fiction, too.
I learned more when reading nonfiction, and it helped prep reviews for this very website, too. It's kind of hard recently, because of health issues, but I want to keep a daily reading habit as best I can. I might change up my journaling format, though, which I'll discuss towards the end of this article.
Tumblr media
To begin, you need a journal. Any blank notebook will work. A lot of people swear by dot grid journals. I use those for most other things. For my reading journal, I bought a pre-printed one called Kunitsa, and there are others on the market, too.
Beyond that, you only need a pen. I use a lot of highlighters and other color in my reading journal, to make tracking things more fun. Next, you're going to want to include a table of contents for your reading journal if possible. In fact, I recommend doing that for all journals, but that's another story entirely. If you pick a pre-printed reading journal like mine, choose one with such a feature.
If you're a DIYer, leave a few blank pages at the beginning of your notebook for the table of contents. Usually four or five pages will do for a table of contents, depending on the size of the journal itself. Including a table of contents can also help get past those first-page jitters if it's a blank book.
A reading journal can include an inventory of your library. My own library is digital because I have to cross the Atlantic on a frequent basis. Those with physical books might find it useful to catalogue everything, particularly favorites.
This could even include where it's stashed. Given that I could easily print a list of mine, my journal doesn't have this, but yours could. You could also organize your library based on the criteria of your choice. I do this digitally, and it can be great to be able to pull out a list of (for example) all the Tarot books I own, favorites, etc..
Tumblr media
Keep track of your reading goals! This is the big one, of course. I try to read at least thirty minutes per day, and I log each day I meet that goal. A reading journal can include a simple daily reading tracker like mine, or variations on that.
Some people might track how many pages they've read, or even chapters, for example. You can, of course, include your To Be Read list, adding to it and crossing out as needed.
Keep track of books, authors and topics. You'll want to include a page or two for each book you read, with meaningful quotations and your own thoughts. Some people get quite elaborate with this, including diagrams, images, and such.
I stick to quoting the parts I found important, then adding my own notes. If you buy a reading journal, choose one formatted for both fiction and nonfiction. These little "spreads" on each book help a ton if you want to prepare reviews later on, or just to keep track of what you’ve read for the future.
Tumblr media
The reading journal I've been using has a section for borrowed books. Since all my books are Kindle, and I don't typically borrow books, I repurposed this for my review schedule. You can create your own spread for that kind of thing if you're doing a DIY approach, which would be even better.
Because I didn't see a use for the first two pages of the notebook, I turned them into a little pocket using washi tape. I figure that if necessary, I can include extra trackers/etc on my own paper in the pocket. I haven't done that yet, but I probably will in the new year. Currently, the pocket only contains some unused stickers.
You could, of course, get much more complicated with a reading journal! It's all up to you. I plan to use a similar setup next time around, but doing it myself in a (larger) dot grid notebook. The preprinted version of a reading journal worked well to get me started. Now that I've got the basics figured out, I want to customize things more.
All and all, I know most occultists love journaling. At least, many of us do. But why don't more of us journal about what we read? Dedicating a notebook just for a reading journal worked great for me, and might work for you, too.
I'd look into different options (preprinted, blank notebooks, digital) before getting started. Don't be afraid to mess up, like with any new notebook. It can become a way of looking deeper into what you're reading, though.

January 13th, 2023 | For the first time ever since I started bullet journaling (2015 if you believe it!), I started a new bujo on January 1st and I changed my layout. I needed a fresh start from my former system. Also very happy that I found my next journal, an A5 Leuchtturm in light grey! I'm obsessed and can't wait to write again in such a notebook – first and last time I kept my daily journal in one was in 2018-2019 already!

gather your supplies: first things first, gather your bullet journaling essentials. you'll need a quality notebook, pens, markers, stickers, washi tape, and any other decorative elements that inspire you. choose supplies that reflect your personal style and aesthetic preferences.
set up your key and index: start by creating a key and index page to help you navigate your bullet journal. use symbols to denote different tasks, events, and notes, and allocate space for indexing your entries. this will make it easier to find information quickly and stay organized.
plan your layouts: before diving into your bullet journal, plan out your layouts for the month, week, and daily spreads. experiment with different formats, including traditional calendars, habit trackers, mood boards, and goal-setting pages. let your creativity flow as you design each layout to suit your needs and preferences.
add decorative elements: now comes the fun part - adding decorative elements to your bullet journal. use colorful pens, markers, and stickers to embellish your pages and bring them to life. experiment with hand-lettering, doodles, and illustrations to add personality and flair to your spreads.
incorporate inspirational quotes: inject some motivation and positivity into your bullet journal by incorporating inspirational quotes and affirmations. choose quotes that resonate with you and place them strategically throughout your journal to uplift and inspire you on your journey.
experiment with themes: consider incorporating themes into your bullet journal to add cohesiveness and visual appeal. whether it's based on seasons, holidays, or your favorite colors and motifs, themes can tie your spreads together and create a cohesive aesthetic.
stay organized: while creativity is key, don't forget the primary purpose of your bullet journal - to help you stay organized and productive. use signifiers, color-coding, and page layouts to streamline your planning process and keep track of your tasks, events, and goals.
reflect and adapt: regularly take time to reflect on your bullet journaling journey and adapt your layouts and techniques as needed. Pay attention to what works well for you and what doesn't, and don't be afraid to experiment and try new approaches.
