Servitor/construct/egregore/thoughtform journal

If you walked into a book store and saw a journal designed to keep track of your created beings, what would you want in it? Name, number, shape, a circle for sigils? A blank area to sketch? What would you want to see? What would you be disappointed if it did or did not have? I'm making one and need to know what people want.

Books with blank pages (or lines) exist for a reason. Even if you'd get two people to tell you they want the exact same things in it, one of them might want the sigil on a page of its own, the other one will want it at the top left, right, center etc.
Making templates for such a purpose goes against the idea of being creative (in my opinion).

To be very honest, a preprinted journal like that feeds only consumerism and not creativity/magical thinking. It is IMHO not really a good idea to streamline such processes in a preprinted journal. For everyone the process is different which makes that everyone stores and journals information different. If I oversee my own information, it is even a mix. There is one egregore I where I keep the information about in the form of writing letters. There is a thoughtform where information is stored in the form of a serie of drawings in pen and ink. I can't fit that in a preprinted idea and I have the idea that it even would bring damage to the magic I do. These processes need absolute freedom and preprinted pages narrow things to much down for a lot of people.

So maybe, the answer is to listen to your guts, trust the process and don't be afraid of changing things in time if you feel like it.
You'll have a beautiful journal, I'm sure.
I wish you a good day.

Empty pages, cool cover, I have multiple notebooks that I use for journaling and love them. Though would prefer bigger choice of those without lines, completely blank pages. Maybe I'll rip blank pages from one and glue on cover from another...

I suppose you are wanting to create a Journal, not a D&D character sheet.

Currently I'm using a notebook with Jurassic park design, having in collection some Lovecraftian and LOTR ones for later use.
