Journal Prompts

To help get you started on your path of spiritual growth, I'm including a list of journal prompts. The intent of a prompt is to spark your interest and get you writing. So, you can either write on each and every topic I list, you can browse through to see if you want to write on one of them, you can go over the ideas and see if one inspires you to write on something different or you can ignore them and come up with your own ideas to write on. Whatever you decide is fine with me, I'm just here to provide a springboard for you to start with, or help you out if you get stuck.

I personally find journaling to be important in spiritual growth. One reason is because you may discover something about yourself you didn't realize, another is because it helps keep a record of your spiritual progress. Another essay will be written about rituals, however I do recommend keeping a record of your rituals and what worked or felt right and what didn't. By doing this your experience will help you design workings that will work for you, rather than doing something because it's easier to do what someone wrote. Thinking and growing with experience is a key part of spiritual growth for most Pagans, what ever form that takes.

Now, here is a starter list of prompts. I will try to get back into this one and add more as time goes on, but here's something to start you out with.

1. What do you think the divine looks like (assuming they are a physical form)?
2. What element (earth, air, fire, water) do you find yourself most closely associated with?
3. What is your favorite color and why?
4. Do you identify with any specific religion?
5. What does religious tolerance mean to you?
6. Who have you found to be most inspirational to your personal growth and why?
7. Do you have a daily routine? If so, what is included in it?
8. Describe yourself with complete honesty.
9. What is your favorite animal and why?
10. Do you believe in magic?
