A very Merry Meet Monday, everyone!
Upcoming Events 
~Group Ritual: Tea Meditation with the Coven~
Join in for a shared group ritual and tea meditation on Thursday, November 12th.
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: New Moon~
On Sunday, November 15th we will be blessed with a New 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 time of the new moon is a great time to either take a break from magick, or partake in various New Moon Rituals . You can find a list of rituals and spells specifically for drawing on energy from the new moon on Spells8 
New Moon Spells & Rituals for Beginners: What to do on a NEW MOON?
Visit the Moon Magick: New Moon page for more information about the benefits of the new moon and ways to prepare for this special celestial occasion

- November 11th: Pocky Day
- November 13th: Friday the 13th
- November 15th: Clean Out Your Refridgerator Day
Ongoing Challenge 
Every week, a challenge is presented to all members of the forum to explore new areas of magick and bring out the best of everyone’s diverse talents! The theme of this week is lighting a flame and delving into the many uses of candle magick 
Please keep in mind that this challenge will close TOMORROW, Tuesday, November 10th 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.

May the waning of the moon lessen any grief and lighten the burdens you carry- a new moon will bring new blessings in the coming days!
Blessed be
It is supposed to be today. We’ll see. I am also waiting to hear back on 3 different positions I applied for. My FMLA ends soon and I get to go back to work but I would love to start a new and better job soon afterwards. 
Seems like the perfect time for New Moon magic.
You’ve done everything you can to prepare and it sounds like you are a good position to get the benefits you deserve. Sending lots of good thoughts- may the phone appointments both be a piece of cake (or perhaps pumpking pie cupcakes?) for you 
Some even say that
