Before we start organizing and adding things into your grimoire, we need to think about our dedication page. Just like your book blessing page, this will be at the very front of your book. I will go into more details about organizing your grimoire but for today, I will talk about your dedication page.
Your dedication page will be a promise to yourself and your grimoire that you will continue to learn and grow as a witch. You would want to also include your goals for you and your craft. You can do this all within one page or a few pages at the begging of your grimoire.
Start with writing a rough draft of your dedication. Spend time reflecting on what you want to say. It can be anything that speaks to you. This dedication can be in a form of poetry, lyrics, or any way you want to write it. Include anything or anyone you want to ask guidance in creating your grimoire. This can be the elements, any Gods or Goddesses, any angels, deities, Mother Earth, etc. The choice is yours and yours alone. Think about why you want to complete your grimoire and include that into your dedication. You would also want to think about how you want to decorate your page(s). What symbols, art work, and/or elements will you use.
Once you have your rough draft all done, it will be time to move it over to your grimoire. Take your time to write it down and leave space to decorate your pages. I like to decorate my pages first and then add my writing to it. Then I’ll know how my words will flow and fit on to my pages. Be sure to fill your pages with your own energy. Use the colors that you are mostly drawn too. Colors says a lot about a person and their energy. Mine tends to be blues, pinks, purples, and sometimes greens and yellows. These days I’m drawn more to the neutral colors of pinks, blues, etc. Like mauve, lavender, grayish green, etc. Use what colors that fits you and your personality.
Below is a rough draft of my dedication page. This is just something I wrote a few years back and still use. I am a Christian witch, so I do ask God for his wisdom and so on. Once I get all my supplies together, I will create my actually dedication page digitally and physically.
God, you are the creator of all and without you, the world around us would not exist. Please, give me the wisdom to help fill these pages with love. Help me to learn the things I must learn within this life time. Guide me to complete the task of my grimoire so it may to used for my highest good.
I dedicate this book to my future self in hopes I may further my practice and grow spiritually.
