These four are known as the angels of sacred prostitution, but Lilith is the most known of them. Many also seem to believe that the others are just different manifestations of Lilith herself.
Have any of you guys worked with Agrat bat Mahlat, Eisheth Zenunim or Naamah? What is your experience? Let me know.

50 ideas for a Grimoire
I collected these ideas (and others) from different sources. What you see here is what I think would be interesting to put in my Grimoire (because apparently people need to be told these things).
1 ) decorations ; a personalized cover (with a picture of the moon, a pentagram, your patronus or something else, or maybe just a nice flowery design or leather cover), using a glitter pen and stickers, pressing flowers between the pages, drawing, taping photos and other visual ideas.
2 ) protection sigil on the reverse of the cover (so people won’t read it without your authorization)
3 ) your craft name and your reason for choosing it
4 ) how you define your path, can include coven rules, the tradition(s) you follow and/or a personal set of magickal rules
5 ) wheel of the year / rituals you observe as the year passes
6 ) dedication to one or several deities you worship (or alternatively, what your relationship with deities is like, whether it’s a specific deity or deities in general)
7 ) on that note, myths and information regarding gods, godesses and deities that could be useful for you
8 ) moon phases, their correspondences and what they’re good and bad for
9 ) elements and their correspondences (including the minor arcana of tarot)
10 ) recipes. not just kitchen witchcraft recipes, but also potions, beauty and cleaning products, natural remedies, powders, salts for a bath, oils, etc.
11 ) herbs/plants/flowers and their correspondences
12 ) runes and their meaning
13 ) crystals and crystal grids
14 ) spells, of course
15 ) divination (tarot spreads and cheatsheet, pendulum, scrying, astrology, etc.)
16 ) a pendulum board
17 ) dream diary
18 ) ancestors ; where they are from, specific people you wish to honour, family tree, pictures, location of graves, etc.
19 ) familiars
20 ) tools in your practice
21 ) list of charges, wards, sigils, spells, wards and enchanted items you have currently active
22 ) sigils and how to make them
23 ) spirit work
24 ) color correspondences
25 ) chakras
26 ) myths, myhtological creatures and legends
27 ) folk tales from your zone
28 ) family traditions
29 ) your views on the afterlife
30 ) binding/banishing and your experience with it
31 ) a portrait of your shadow self (let’s get jungian)
32 ) fictional and/or real witches you admire
33 ) past lives, if you know of any
34 ) how to contact you from the afterlife after you’re dead
35 ) psychic abilities
36 ) pop culture magick
37 ) photos of nature
38 ) your own alphabet or secret code
39 ) a letter to yourself in the future and/or the past
40 ) altars and altar planning
41 ) magickal moments of your life
42 ) smells of witchcraft you love
43 ) descriptions of places from astral travel or meditations
44 ) reasons you started to be a witch, magickal goals
45 ) letter to a deity, an ancestor, etc.
46 ) what your followers would leave you as offerings if you were a deity
47 ) draw or collage your own tarot card(s) ; you can make them more diverse than the original!
48 ) creae a magickal creature that would be your familiar
49 ) spiritual diary (how a spell did or didn’t work, or a tarot reading, for example)
50 ) a shiny page to scry with

LEAF SCRYING 🍃
A little scrying method I thought up when I was exploring about and happened to find this delightful speckled plant… a casual, simple scrying method using the natural patterns found on leaves.
🌿 It seems more natural to me to think up the question or subject of your divination and hold this in your mind while selecting the leaf for the reading. Let intuition guide you to a leaf – don’t look at them too closely.
🌿 Speckled leaves like these are ideal for scrying by the more traditional definition – sitting down on the grass, relaxing one’s gaze, getting into that scrying mindset and letting the patterns speak to you, building constellations and reading shapes and symbols.
🌿 You can also use the veins, shapes, size, natural flaws, etc in leaves as part of reading or scrying them too. It likely helps to get to know a particular type of leaf quite well so that you can begin building up meanings around the various quirks that may appear in a particular leaf. (It would also help to touch upon getting to know a particular plant’s spiritual life.)
🌿 As with many types of scrying, instinct and intuition are your greatest guides.
🌿 Particularly good, I would imagine, for divination relating to earthy matters (prosperity, practicality, abundance, growth, home, ancestry). Different plants may also have different correspondences and associations for you.
🌿 You could keep the leaf afterwards, either as a memento to stick in your grimoire/on your altar or to use in a spell relating to what you divined (perhaps to change misfortunes, or to materialise the good).
🌿 Remember to thank the plant spirits for their guidance and contribution after you’re done, and perhaps think to bring an offering (even if it’s just a sprinkling of moon water) for any plants you’re about to pluck wisdom from.
this is a lovely idea! ❤
