A magical journal  chronicles a 
spiritual process.  Folks tend to see spirituality as joy, revelation, love, healing, and personal achievement.  But a legitimate spiritual journey is equally about setback, disillusionment, fear, personal short comings that are ruining your life yet seem eradicable and sometimes not see that you have made a lot of headway.  Anyone whose so called spiritual journey is all joy and freedom is either a far better person than I or a liar to themselves
and others. Most of the time  it will be the latter.  Ok, maybe 
liar  is too harsh. How about 
delusionally psychotic?
