How to Use This Grimoire — A Practical Guide for 2026

This site does three things:

1. Tracks cosmic timing (planetary days, hours, moon phases)
2. Provides correspondences (herbs, stones, colors, deities, elements)
3. Explains how to use both (grimoire articles with practical instructions)

That’s it. Everything here exists to support those three functions.

The Basic Workflow

Step 1: Know What You Want

Before you look at timing or correspondences, clarify your intent:

• “I need a new job” → Career, success, visibility
• “I want to end a toxic pattern” → Banishing, boundaries, reduction
• “I need clarity on a decision” → Divination, wisdom, insight

Write it down in one sentence. Specific intent = specific tools.

Step 2: Check the Timing

Go to Tools and check:

Planetary Day Tracker

• What planet rules today?
• What energies does it channel?
• Does it match your intent?

Planetary Hours Calculator

• What planetary hour is active now?
• When is the next favorable hour for your work?
• Can you wait, or do you need to work with what’s available?

Moon Phase Guide

• Is the moon waxing (growth) or waning (reduction)?
• What zodiac sign is the moon in?
• Is the moon void-of-course? (Avoid casting during void periods)

Timing isn’t about perfection.
It’s about awareness.

If every timing factor is wrong, you can still cast—you just stack the deck against yourself. Better to wait a few hours or days for alignment.

Step 3: Choose Your Correspondences

Correspondences are the ingredients of your spell.

Planet → Intention:

• Sun → Success, vitality, authority
• Moon → Intuition, emotions, cycles
• Mars → Action, conflict, courage
• Mercury → Communication, travel, thought
• Jupiter → Expansion, luck, wisdom
• Venus → Love, beauty, harmony
• Saturn → Discipline, boundaries, structure

Element → Energy Type:

• Fire → Passion, transformation, will
• Water → Emotion, intuition, flow
• Air → Thought, communication, change
• Earth → Grounding, stability, manifestation
• Spirit → Unity, transcendence, connection

Physical Tools: Browse the grimoire data for:

• Herbs associated with your planet/intent
• Stones that channel the right energy
• Colors to wear or use in your space
• Deities to invoke (optional but powerful)

You don’t need everything. Pick 2-3 items that resonate and are available to you.

Step 4: Cast Your Spell

There’s no single “right way” to cast. Here’s a simple structure:

Basic Spell Template:

1. Prepare your space — Clean, quiet, undisturbed
2. State your intent clearly — Out loud or written down
3. Engage your correspondences — Light a candle, hold a stone, burn an herb
4. Focus your will — Visualize the outcome as already real
5. Release it — Let it go; don’t obsess over results
6. Take physical action — Magic works best with mundane support

A spell is a focused intention + aligned timing + symbolic action.
You can complicate it, but that’s the core.

Step 5: Learn and Adjust

After you cast:

• Record what you did — Date, time, correspondences, intent
• Note the results — What happened? How long did it take?
• Refine your approach — What worked? What felt off?

Magic improves with iteration. You get better at sensing timing, choosing correspondences, and crafting clear intent.

What This Site Is NOT

Let’s be clear about what we don’t do:

• ❌ We don’t sell courses or memberships

This is a resource library. Use what helps. Ignore what doesn’t.

Common Questions

Q: Do I need to believe in planets as literal gods?
A: No. You can treat them as archetypal forces, psychological patterns, or cosmic frequencies. The system works regardless of your metaphysics.

Q: Can I mix this with other traditions?
A: Yes. These are modular tools. Use them alongside Wicca, Chaos Magic, Hoodoo, Golden Dawn, or any other practice.

Q: What if I can’t get the exact timing or correspondences?
A: Work with what you have. A spell cast with available tools and strong intent beats a “perfect” spell you never actually do.

Q: Is this site complete?
A: No. It’s actively being improved. Tools will get better. More articles will be added. Check back regularly.
