Witchy Journal Prompts for Autumn

Autumn has a way of stirring something deep in the soul. 
The leaves change, the air cools, and we’re reminded of cycles — endings, beginnings, and everything in between. 

For more ways to align with the season, read The Wheel of the Year for Beginners: A Gentle Guide to Seasonal Living.

Journaling is one of my favorite ways to capture this magic, and it can become a sacred practice in itself. A journal can be your Book of Shadows, a gratitude diary, or simply a cozy space where your heart meets the page.

Here are some prompts to guide your pen and intuition this season:

Seasonal Reflections

  • What do I want to let go of, just like the trees let go of their leaves?

  • Where in my life am I ready to welcome change?

  • How do I feel the shifting of the season in my body, mind, and spirit?

Magical Intentions

  • If I could cast one spell for this season, what would it be?

  • Which herbs, crystals, or tools am I most drawn to right now — and why?

  • How can I bring more ritual into my everyday routines?

Shadow Work Prompts

  • What fears rise up for me as the days grow darker?

  • In what ways do I resist stillness or rest?

  • What lessons have I learned from past autumns that I can carry forward?

Everyday Magic

  • How can I make my home feel like a sanctuary this fall?

  • What small daily practices make me feel grounded and magical?

  • Where do I find beauty in the ordinary?

You might also enjoy The Magic of the Hearth: Simple Ways to Bless and Protect Your Home for ways to extend your journaling energy into your space.

Gratitude & Growth

  • What am I most thankful for in this season of harvest?

  • Which part of myself feels most nourished right now?

  • How can I carry this gratitude into the coming winter months?

Choosing Your Book of Shadows

There’s no one “right” way to keep a witchy journal. Some witches use a simple spiral notebook, others a leather-bound treasure, and many collect loose pages in a binder.

The important thing is that it feels magical to you. Tape in pressed leaves, doodle moon phases, scribble messy notes — the magic comes from your presence on the page.

For more ideas on creating a personal grimoire, see Writing with Intention: The Magic of Feather Pens in Your Book of Shadows.

So brew a cup of tea, light a candle, and let your pen dance. 
This season has wisdom to offer — all you have to do is listen.

7 Hearth Foods to Honor the Ancestors: A Witch’s Feast for Samhain Across generations and continents, witches and homemakers alike have honored the harvest and the ancestors through food.

It’s a time to honor our ancestors, to share food at the hearth, and to prepare ourselves for the dark half of the year. For many of us, the heart of that magic lives in the kitchen. Cooking becomes more than nourishment — it becomes ritual. Each dish carries memory, symbolism, and blessing. 1. Soul Cakes – The Original Trick-or-Treat History: Given in exchange for prayers for the dead, soul cakes are a root of trick-or-treating. Magic: Remembrance,...
