A very Merry Meet Monday and Happy Witches’ New Year to all!
Upcoming Events 
~Group Ritual: After Samhain Tea~
Today, Monday, November 2nd join your coven for a lovely tea meditation and discussion to reflect on Samhain and the events of the weekend.
Enter the group ritual here: After Samhain Tea Time
~Group Ritual: Together with the Coven~
Join the forum family for a quiet moment and peaceful shared ritual on Thursday, November 5th
Group meditation rituals and conversations are held every Thursday. Feel free to visit last week’s ritual post to get an idea about what to expect, and look for an announcement on the main page of the forum for details about this week’s group ritual 
~Moon Phase: Last Quarter Moon~
With the passing of the Full Blue Moon this past weekend, the light of the moon is beginning to fade. This Sunday, November 8th, the skies will be blessed with a Last Quarter Moon 
To find the exact time of moon phases for your location, I recommend the Moon Phase Calendar from the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
The last quarter moon is a time of rest and the banishment of negative energies or forces in your life.
For more information about Moon Magick and specific spells recommended for the last quarter moon, visit the guide Moon Magic: Spells for Every Lunar Phase: Last Quarter
~Other Events of Interest~
Some other non-witchy but interesting (and perhaps conversation-starting!) events coming up this week include:
- November 3rd: Cliché Day
- November 6th: Marooned Without a Compass Day
- November 9th: Chaos Never Dies Day
Ongoing Challenge 
The veil between the world is thin at this time of year- use your talents to look beyond, and appreciate those that were lost in this week’s Weekly Witchy Challenge 
There are many ways to honor the dead and celebrate the cycle of life. Share your altars, rituals, spells, and any Halloween/Samhain celebrations to join in on this week’s challenge.
Please keep in mind that this challenge will close TOMORROW, Tuesday, November 3rd at 7:00 AM CET (Central European Time Zone)
After this time a Props and Presents post will appear to give recognition and prizes to all participants 
And as always, a brand new challenge will arrive on Wednesday for all challenge enthusiasts.
Are you ready? Join in the challenge here: Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE- The Veil Between Worlds

And congrats on the successful doctors visit! Sorry about no swimming- but yeah, better to be banned from the beach in the cold months! That would be tough on the Cape in summertime 
Hopefully the app is an easy fix, and it sounds like it’s in the hands of the app support team. Fingers crossed they get back to you soon and it’ll be working again in no time! 
during the week of November 2nd.
so we had to do it. 
And what a cute puzzle- I love the tourist ducks 
I think it’s wonderful that you’ve gotten back into a shared hobby with your wife.
