Prayer journals, ritual record books, books of shadows..... Do you have any form of spiritual record book? How often do you write in it? Describe it, post a picture, etc.

I have a bunch of journals now, and I bought a couple new ones, one is for my personal stuff and another is for Wicca when/if I'm initiated.

I don't really have a physical book at this point, though I did buy a really nice binder and decorative paper for the day that I do finally decide to put something together. I mostly just keep a file on my computer with stuff., or it goes to my blog.

I have a journal that is important to me spiritually. I don't really have a name for it, but it's part prayer journal, part ritual record, part other stuff. Basically if I find it important to me spiritually it's in the journal. It's got a table of contents and is super organized. So there's that.

I've also somehow turned my french book (I'm in college and I own the book) into a more artistic version of the same. I have a habit of writing in my textbooks, and French is harder for me than some other stuff, so flipping back through the book I've discovered much of my margin-writings to be prayers that I likely wrote before tests. So lately I've taken to writing and doodling and painting and such in my french book - it's an artistic expression of my spiritual path. I think when I've run out of space in it, it's going to be quite the beauty.

I used to have an all-purpose spiritual journal, but it felt muddled and muddy and wrong, so I decided to separate it out for my two religions. Now I have a medium sized moleskine for my religious Hedgecraft stuff and a big spiral bound workbook for my Heathen stuff. With both of them, I write down records of my rituals, of interesting prayer experiences, thoughts or musings I have that are interesting and relevant, and notes of anything I'm studying.

I do think of it as "two religions, one path" but having everything all in there together really did not work, and I'm not sure why.

No, the closest thing I have is a quote book, where I put quotes I find which inspire me, to look at when I'm feeling down. About a quarter of the quotes are Buddhism related, but most aren't.
