ALTERNATIVES TO TAROT

Grimoire Prompts

Here’s a few ideas if you’re stuck on what you want to do!

Pendulum board

Crystal grid

Your favourite song, turned into a spell

Pressed flowers

Photographs of nature

Your handprint, with all the things that make you ‘you’ written inside

Pouch to hold incense 

Black mirror page (Using some reflective black material)

Create your own alphabet

A letter to yourself in the future or in the past

Create an altar in your grimoire

Smells of witchcraft you love

Magical moments in your life

Dream diary

Drawings of places you have seen in meditation/ astral travel

Photos of your pets

List of reasons why you are glad to be a witch

Write a letter to a deity, or if you don’t believe in deity, to an ancestor 

Colour palette tabs found from paint shops

A pie chart of significant things in your practise

Unorthodox correspondences; (examples: Socks for protection and comfort, Blue tack for creativity, doritos for enjoyment)

What would your followers leave as offerings for you if you were a deity?

Make a tarot card out of old newspaper pictures 

Write a spell using the most ridiculous objects you can think off

Create a mythical creature that would be your familiar

If you’re worldbuilding and making up a religion, remember that making yourself small and kneeling down in front of something to pray quietly is very much a Christian thing.

Personally I like the Ancient Greeks’ method of prayer which was to go up a mountain, stand up with your arms outstretched real big, and scream compliments at Apollo until he listened to you
