The Ultimate Deity Journal Guide

Similar to my grimoire guide, this is a guide on deity journals.

What Is A Deity Journal?

A deity journal is a journal dedicated to a deity. It’s filled with information, offerings, devotional pieces, etc. If you like journaling or can’t give other physical offerings (like food, libations, etc.), it’s one of the best offerings out there.

What Do I Use For It?

Usually deity journals are physical journals and notebooks. Binders and folders work as well. I have seen deity journals online, using things like Notion or Google Docs. Those are a little harder to format, but are great if you don’t have a notebook or aren’t a fan of physical journals.

So, What Do I Put In It?

Devotional Playlists

Pressed/Dried Flowers or Herbs

Prayers

A landscape digital drawing of a sunny day. In big handwritten yellow letters top and bottom text states "We would call it Solarpunk, they just call it an afternoon". In the foreground is a thin light-skinned character with short dark cyan hair and spider henna tattoos across their shoulders walking away from the camera along a colorful street.

To their right is a Japanese-style drainage canal and a building with doodles drawn on it; a person is casually sitting on a couch in the shade of the building.

On their left is a long garden bed, a bench covered in grape vines with a solar panel roof; a bike lane stretched into the distance; an older person carries a baby tied to their back and a tween is running after them to keep up; the road is in the shade of lush trees.

Grass sprouts from the road here and there. Buildings are painted in different vibrant colors.

An image divided into three segments. Upper text reads "It all runs on renewables" and text on the third panel reads "They do what they love and share the rest".

The top segment stretches horizontally across the canvas and depicts a sunny summer urban landscape. A balcony in one of the low-rise buildings reveals an easel with an unfinished painting and abstract art pieces behind it, there are flower pots hanging from the ceiling. Vines wrap around the windows.

In the background are other solar panel roofs and domes, fading into the blue sky.

The last two segments divide the page in half vertically. One shows an artist from the back as they're painting an abstract mural. The character's skin is dark and their cotton candy pink afro is tied back into a ponytail; their hands are smudged with paint. To their left stand three paint cans.

The final segment is a drawing of two people in casual clothes and caps standing in front of a vine-covered wall holding brooms. The character on the left is plump, has curly coppery red hair and acne; they're cheerfully pointing at something with their broom's tip. The character on the right is a head taller, thin and with very pale skin and short white hair; they're wearing square glasses and are smiling calmly.

A drawing divided into two segments horizontally. Each has text next to it. The top part reads "Money's almost like a swearword" and the bottom "Nobody is poor. Nobody sleeps under the stars unless they want to".

The first segment is a view from the inside of an oven with the lights still on; the tone of the image is warm. A young adult is carefully pulling out a glass baking pan with probably banana bread. The character has short curly burgundy red hair, heavy eyeliner, nose bridge piercings and slightly dark skin. They're sticking their tongue out in concentration.

The second segment shows two people sitting in the grass in some kind of park at night; everything is lit by the moon. The character closer to the viewer is sitting casually with their head tilted up, looking content. They've got light skin with a patchy tan, barely visible face tattoos of stylized stars, a messy yellow-and-purple mohawk and black casual outfit. The character behind them sits with knees close to their chest, examining a little flower. Their purple hair is tied into a ponytail; they also have light skin with a patchy tan; they have big round glasses. Around the two characters are night flowers and wild rose bushes. In the background are tall dark trees.

Drawing divided into two sections horizontally. The text on the first one reads "There is no shame in needing rest" and the bottom says "you value no less when you can't work".

The first panel is a top-down view of a person laying in bed with a vacant expression, listening to something through wired earphones. The bed is messy, there's a sock and an empty bowl on the floor. The character has dark skin and a strong slightly plump build. Their long blue dreadlocks decorated with golden clips spill over the pillow.

The second panel (now in regular standing view) shows a younger character cordially passing a mug to the first one. The first character is now sitting up and smiling calmly. The younger character has short brown hair with a lime gradient, light skin and lime overalls.

The background is a room in the daytime, most items are colored blue; there are posters on the walls; through a door frame covered in doodles a windowsill lined with potted plants is visible. Vines cover the window.

The drawing is divided in half horizontally. The text on each panel says "They took care of climate change, though some losses are irreversible..." and "Most cars were left behind".

The first panel is a summer scene in the shade of a tree.
A dark-skinned child with a star-decorated afro, a tooth gap and many freckles is sitting on a round woven mat holding a book with a photo of a koala. They are looking to the side with a worried expression.

The second panel is a summer sunset scene, we are looking from the sun's direction onto a thin rural road. A plus-size dark-skinned character with purple hair and freckles is riding a bike. Behind them are striped polyculture fields (wheat, soy and maize) and big majestic clouds.

A drawing split in half vertically. Text on both panels says "Things are made to last" and "Information is free for all".

The first panel shows an indoors scene, a glass wall and a many of different plants behind it. Green-tinted light seeps in from above. An East Asian character with short blond hair, heavy golden makeup and astronomy-themed jewelry is holding up the hem of their skirt to examine it; they're smiling lightly.

The second panel shows medium dark skin, burgundy red hair divided into two big braids sitting cross-legged on a mat in front of a colorful wall. They have a big bee balm flower tattoo across their chest, face piercings and bright-red makeup. They are calmly listening to an audiobook through wireless headphones.

A drawing is split in half horizontally. Text on each panel says "Endless growth is given up for mindful production" and "They can borrow anything from a library".

The fist panel is set in a sunny summer garden full of deciduous trees. A person in their late forties is lowering a branch to examine it. They have a shoulder-length brown mullet, medium-light skin and helix earrings.

The second panel shows a library. The walls are painted green, big arches, glass ceilings and solar glass domes let in light. Trees go right through the building's floor and roof on each side of an arch. There are shelves with books as well as gardening tools visible. Potted plants are everywhere.

In the foreground a character is shown borrowing a hair clipper from a librarian sitting at their desk.

A drawing divided into 5 parts horizontally. Each part shows a line of text: "no state, no police, no prisons, no borders, nature is crucial".

The "no state" panel depicts a diverse crowd seen from the back. There are many hair colors and styles depicted.

The "no police" panel shows a broken police baton and a riot police shield lying on the ground.

The "no prisons" panel depicts a concrete wall broken in half with two rose bushes, red and white, growing in each other's direction.

The "no borders" panel shows a rural road stretching into the distance along a field. An overgrown yellow sign spells "Welcome".

The last panel saying "nature is crucial" has a top-down view on a creek. Its water is clear.

A set of doodles with speech bubbles depicting the author. They have a mullet and star tattoos all over their face.

The first doodle, palm raised and eyes closed, is saying "You might say 'well that's extreme and unrealistic!' You might also say: 'wtf do you have on your face?'"

The second doodle slightly raises its fist in determination and says "And i say we need a vision of a better future! It's not flawless, but it's so much better!"

The last doodle looks indignant as it says "And it's star tattoos, asshole! From the future!"

A set of doodles of the author.

The first doodle stands with lowered gaze and hand in pocket, saying "I can't tell what year it will be or how we get there. Time travel shenanigans. I know it's hard to believe".

The second and last doodle says, with a slanted smile and a twinkle in its eyes, "But i can tell you stories. Will you take stories?"

Characters co-owned w @_magic.stardust_ on IG 😌✨ (a couple more comics abt this on my account already)

I'm not a very positive person, i have a LOT of doomer tendencies. I feel everything like it's cranked up to the max, and as you can imagine it doesn't feel great. Every day throws more atrocious things in my face, and i can't ignore it 🥲

I see other people feeling the same way. We dissociate and numb ourselves by watching, playing, buying stuff. Hateful movements are gaining traction and climate change has its foot in the door

And it's all happening either way, to some degree. I feel like shit, and i'm sick of that. I might as well have a little bit of hope, otherwise i'll go bonkers 😭 Do we continue doomering our way through life or ignoring things altogether, or do we choose to hope a little?

That's why i'm looking into Solarpunk and am thinking of taking any readers (and myself) on a little journey through a better world, and how it might work, through a series of mini-comics I'm posting here. I don't have all the answers (no one person ever does), and i don't hold any pretenses that this kind of world is going to be our future. But i often hear "You love critiquing the status quo, but what do you propose instead?" I'd like to find out too. Here's to something we can hope for, no matter how slim the chances are! Because as I said, i might just lose my mind otherwise ☠️

P.S for new peeps: this is an AU with me and my friend's OCs, so all characters are genderless and go by they/them. It's not identical to our world in that regard, but other than this fact we try to keep it more or less realistic 🤙

A doodle used as a text divider.

It shows the author floating among lemons. They're thinking "Fucking fuck" with a plain smile.

I spent a thousand krillion hours on this and the other Solarpunk comics, consider throwing 2$ at me on Buy Me A Coffee to raise my spirits :] I'm not doing well mentally these days, but people's appreciation helps a lot. Thank you very much!

If you're leaving Christianity and getting into some form of paganism, you should check and see whether you've got any internalized "faithmaxxing/worshipmaxxing is the only true way to be spiritual" going on, and if so, work on it. Stuff like thinking you need to have perfect faith in your deities at all times or thinking you need to practice 3.5 spells per day to be A Real Witch. You're going to mess yourself up if you carry on with that.
