Journal 1

Journal #1 is a cryptic journal owned by Stan Pines, it is not known how he received it. It is the first in a series of books including Journal 2, (formerly owned by Gideon Gleeful) and Journal 3, (owned by Dipper Pines), and contains unknown information.

History
Journal #1 first appeared in "Gideon Rises." It was written by a hooded figure in Gideon's flashback about the books' true power. Stan is the owner of this book, and upon gathering the second and third book, he used them to activate a machine that will supposedly "open a gateway to infinite new worlds."

Secret of the Journals
In order to properly complete the device, one must possess all three journals. Apparently, the author believed that, if constructed, the result could be catastrophic, so he made sure the journals were well hidden and a safe distance from each other. With all three journals together, Stan is able to activate a portal mentioned on the "maze page" of 3.

Appearance
Journal #1's cover is burgundy and has various rips and tears, most noticeably a huge piece missing in the upper right hand corner. It has two gold binder lines on its spine and its three remaining corner-covers are gold as well. In the center of the cover is a gold hand with six fingers, with the number 1 written in the middle.

Its pages are seemingly worn and hold various page markers, similar to books 2 and 3. It also appears to be the thickest of all three journals.
