Create a safe and sacred place for your magical musings and use Magical Field Notes to keep track of spells, dreams, prayers, and meditations. Every mystical practitioner understands the value of recording progress and experience along the way. As you develop your own unique style of magick and spiritual practice, it’s important to be able to easily access the information you’ve gathered on your journey. Most of the magically inclined are familiar with keeping a journal, grimoire, or book of shadows. Your own collection of private pages store some of your most precious and secret findings. Magical Field Notes can become your grimoire on the go! Not only can you enter your own spells, dreams, or ideas, but the app also allows you to observe important patterns affecting your work and goals. How do these patterns appear? Just like magic, of course! Whenever you enter a dream, spell, or thought, the app records the time, the date, day of the week, and the moon phase. At any time, you can open the part of the app that records your data and look back to see what kinds of conditions and calendar correspondences were in place during your experience. Over time, this allows you to recognize the best times for certain types of rituals, spells, or meditations. Magical Field Notes also provides some spells and suggestions to get your started. The number of these spells, rituals, and special prayers will grow over time as we encourage you to submit your own entries so that others can benefit from practices you’ve found to be successful.
