Long story short: what do you want to put into it?
It is your book, to do with as you will. Put in whatever you think you will want / need to know, that reflects your style of practicing, etc.
In a tl;dr version of all those links, and a modified version of [this post], here’s some ideas on things you can put into a grimoire (based mostly around informational purposes).
This list is not complete / extensive / ; moreso, it has a lot of different suggestions to give you some ideas of things you can put in.
- about you as a witch
- these could be in the format of journal pages
- what you want out of witchcraft, information about your natal / birth chart if you like astrology, any notes of things you do day to day, etc.
- terminology of terms within witchcraft and magic
- spell timing, such as Sabbats and esbats, moon phases, days of the week, time of the day, etc.
- correspondences for herbs, essential oils, crystals / minerals, colors, the four elements, planetary associations, etc.
- substitutions for particular items like herbs, crystals, etc.

- what channeling energy means, and how to do it
- what it means to charge / enchant objects, and methods to do it

- information on any deities you work with / wish to work with
- offering ideas for any deities you work with
- invocations for any deities you work with
- rituals / dedications / prayers to any deities you work with
- information on any spirits you work with / wish to work with
- offering ideas for any spirits you work with (i.e. the fae, elemental spirits like sylphs and salamanders, etc.)
- information on the history of witchcraft
- information on familiars and working with animals in magic
- information on varieties of magic
- examples: energy work, candle magic, crystal magic / crystal grids, sachet magic, knot magic, kitchen magic / tea magic, bath magic, traditional magic, urban / modern magic, chaos magic, pop culture magic, green magic, hedgework, spirit work, shadow work, blood magic, sex magic, necromancy / death magic, etc.
MAGIC NO LONGER LOOKS LIKE A WORD TO ME- any safety precautions for working with certain varieties of magic
- any divination methods you wish to try
- examples: definitions of the tarot cards, tarot spreads, cartomancy interpretations, definitions of runes, reading tea leaves (tasseomancy) / coffee grounds, tips on pendulum reading, etc.

Hey! Can you help me? I'm trying to introduce my boyfriend into Dd/lg but I'm having trouble explaining him what is going to be having a little );
the-faculty answered:
Hi there Anon.
This is a difficult question to answer generally for you. What it is like owning a little is an incredibly subjective experience. What my little’s needs are may be quite different from what your’s are. How my little does little may be quite different from how you do it. Below is an answer I once gave to a couple who were a little lost in what needed to be done to put together a DD/lg dynamic. I’ve also cut and paste another post this question brought to mind. What is outlined below concerning putting together a dynamic may be more than you want or need, or what your boyfriend is able to provide, but all this should serve as a start to a greater conversation between you.
The structure of DD/lg for me is pretty much the same as any of the other dynamics. Rules, tasks, rewards and punishments are needed to help care for your a little one and see that she evolves the ways you wish her to.
Three Types of Rules For Littles
1. Rules That Establish Dominance and encourage Deeper Submission and Intimacy:
These are the fun rules, and the ones that reinforce who is boss. Asking for permission to cum and letting Daddy pick out your panties each day are good examples.
2. Rules That Guide Health:
These help with physical and mental health. Eating breakfast each day, a required walk, journal writing, and required self play (good for burning calories and raising endorphins) are good examples.
3. Rules That Help With Goals:
These help make her that very best version of herself that she wants to be. Keeping her room tidy, working toward healthy eating habits, putting away money in the bank each week, and required time for studying are good examples.
Tasks
Let the subjective rules you create for your specific little girl guide your tasks. If you have a rule that states that the Princess must have a clean room at all times, broken down individual tasks that keep her on track to achieve that goal weekly should be created. If the rule is that she is to achieve certain grades in her college courses, tasks should be created to make sure she sets aside time for homework and studying.
Rewards and Punishments
When she is keeping within the rules, and getting her tasks done in a satisfactory manner, rewarding her to reinforce her hard work and good behavior should be given. For littles this can be things like stickers daily, or buying her a new stuffy at the end of a prolonged period of good behavior. Rewards should be anything your little one gets excited about. Don’t forget that the biggest reward you can give her is your own voiced positive feedback. Nothing goes further than telling her she is being “a good girl”.
When rules are broken it is important that punishment is doled out to help correct the behavior. Punishments should fit the crime as best as you can, and should be things your submissive does not enjoy. Spankings are often mistaken as suitable punishments for masochistic little girls. This only encourages your submissive to act out to receive them, and does not serve to correct bad behavior. Ignoring your little girl should NEVER be used as a punishment.
There is your basic structure Anon. Beyond that, encourage and foster her little side. The more safe and secure she feels under your dominant watch, the more she will be able to let go of her day to day and find and explore being little and enjoying littlespace.
Feel free to come to me (or us) as things come up that you want advice with. There are a lot of experienced Dominants here on kinky Tumblr who are happy to help younger and new dominants find their way. Never feel like you’re in over your head, and can’t get help. Best of luck to both of you.
What is involved in being a daddy?

And also putting up with glitter, soft voices, desperate grabby hands, tears, pouts, insane fears, cuddles, more glitter, mood swings, paci talk, stuffies, pretend play, Disney movies, cartoons, tantrums and sore arms cuz no, I’m not ready to get down yet, Daddy.
also finding appropriate punishments for trespasses, creating daily tasks, providing rules and structure, creating a safe space for a little to play in, making routine decisions on their behalf, helping your little realize their full potential and initiating strategies to realize your vision of what that is, making sure they eat and drink enough and that it’s mostly healthy food and drink, reminding them to take their medication, encouraging daily exercise, and celebrating every little victory they bring your way.
