what are zettelkästen?
Have you ever heard the term zettelkasten before? I was first introduced to this note-taking method by writer and creator, Eva Deverell. The Zettelkasten method is a knowledge management system that uses index cards to organize and cross-reference information someone has learned. It's a lot like creating your own version of a card catalog at the Library of You. A zettelkasten is designed around the way your mind thinks about concepts, how you categorize them, and where you would naturally go to find the information.
After some trial, error, and experimentation with various digital platforms, I decided to build my spiritual zettelkästen using Notion. I keep the app on my phone and add to it whenever I research a topic. I refer to it a lot during astrology and tarot readings. The contents of my various repositories are full of keywords and notes about each aspect of my practice, and I honestly never thought I would share it publicly...until now.
The articles compiled on my site are my attempt at giving you a glimpse into my zettelkästen, and by extension, my sacred practices and accumulated knowledge. As with any information that comes across your path, I encourage you to use discernment, take what resonates, and leave the rest.
