Thanks! I came home and had some ale to celebrate! It was ginger ale, but hey, ale! :beer_mug:

To be fair, I didn’t think to ask for no snow when I made the sigils; I was just asking the home to be protected, so I’d say it was a success! :tada:

Yaaaay! :tada: That’s wonderful news, I’m thrilled for you! :partying_face:

It’s put off until next year, so we’ll see what 2027 brings :laughing:

Good evening! :crescent_moon::sparkles:

Huge congratulations to our shout-outs this week! @leilani1 on a two-week streak for sharing so many thoughtful posts, and @katharina for spreading the love with all those hearts. And a heartfelt thank you to everyone named for the W.I.T.C.H Award for January 2026! I’m genuinely honored to be included alongside such generous, kind, and grounding souls. This community really is something special. And thank you, Bry, for all that you do! :purple_heart:

And can we all pause for a moment to celebrate @Amethyst, healing out of wound care is huge! :tada::candle: That is powerful, real-world magic at work, and I’m so happy for you.

A warm welcome to all of our new members: @Senna, @katie, @audra1, @alica, @SilverFlamePack, @SNOW, @janel, @carly1, @shana2, @nicole2, @kam2, @shauna, @VermontWitch, @samantha7, @debra1, @shontelle, @barb1, @Luna_Punky_Nightveil, @dakota, @CatPurri, @Jeran, @tracy4, @christine24, @brandi18, @brittany3, and @shea2. We’re so glad you’ve found your way here. May this space feel welcoming, curious, and safe as you explore your paths. :herb::sparkles:

On a personal note, I’m hoping for a quiet, gentle week. Broken sleep and back pain decided to kick things off a bit roughly, so I’m leaning into rest, pacing, and small comforts where I can. Sometimes the most magical thing we can do is listen to our bodies and slow down.

Grateful for this coven, the care shared here, and the steady sense of connection it brings.
Blessed Be. :herb: :dizzy:

I was invited to a ritual but didn’t make it cause I had a friend come see me at a friend’s house! Hopefully next Sabbat I will make it to ritual. No regrets just a lesson.
Happy Imbolc everyone!
I’m looking forward to the self care and joining the challenge.
I got the February Witches planner for the month that was helpful. I did do a snow moon ritual. I hope that you all are doing good ! :witch_hat:

Congratulations :tada: you two!!
I just got my self care bingo that @Artemisia made and Congratulations @MeganB on your new accomplishments I am so happy for you!! Kuddos!

Did I miss something?? :face_with_peeking_eye: I missed something!!
I“m so sorry you were injured in the first place but YAY!!! to healing! It“s amazing what our bodies are able to overcome. :purple_heart: Enjoy those showers and the healing magic water holds. :purple_heart:

I“m so sorry to hear this, dear! I hope you“ll find time to rest and relax.

Such a simple yet profound truth! :folded_hands:

Same, same! I wanted to visit a pagan temple for ritual (for the first time) but didn“t make it. Sometimes our plans change, and that“s okay, too.

Thank you, Dan! :purple_heart: You know, I just realised that I completely ignored Valentines Day (simply because it“s not such a big thing here in Austria) so I“m going to add a Valentines special. :partying_face:

Wonderful news Amethyst!

Thanks, love!

Aww! :blush: Thank you so much! Yeah, usually my wounds like this take over a year to heal. This one has just been there since May, so that’s much better!

My Worker, Sally, has problems with back, neck, and knee pain thanks to good ol’ Arthritis. She got this Mattress Topper on sale on TikTok, and she said it made everything better and felt like sleeping on a cloud! I’m sure there’s a cheaper version of it, but that’s the exact brand she said works. Maybe that’ll help you.

Thanks, love! I partied softly last night! I was too tired to party hard.

That’s a good reason! You can always celebrate today or something, but friends you haven’t seen in a bit are more important.

I have problems with chronic ulcers on my legs due to weight, diabetes, and blood flow issues. This one had been around since May. At one point, I had two right together that had been there long enough to claim as an exemption on my taxes. I named them Fred and George. Thanks for the congrats!

Thank you! I’m really pleased!

You’re very in tune with yourself, which is a blessing all in its own! I hope things get better for you, Sis, and you can sleep through the night again! :hugs:

If there is a chance to commercialize, then look to the West! It’s roots are both Pagan and Christian but it has morphed into a chance to sell everything from candy to cars.

Still, it can be a fun time - The SO and I usually do a dinner but we have also zoned it out but went to the market the next day to buy all the candy on sale. :rofl:

I“m so sorry to hear that! :broken_heart: Of course with diabetes the healing process is prolonged, too. Take good care of yourself, love!

Yes, I know about the connection to the Roman Lupercalia festivities, but for some reason it never really became a thing here. The companies are trying their very best to sell it to us but…I donĀ“t know, the average Austrian is not a big fan. (Maybe weĀ“re subconsciously still holding grudges against the Roman Empire; :smile: after all Austria was one of the first territories to be conquered back in the days)
Here, the traditional month of love is May, beginning with Beltane of course. This is when most people get married, too.

Yay! Hope you enjoy the card and wishing you time and space for self-care this month! :white_heart: :pink_heart: :white_heart:

after-Valentine’s Day candy is almost better than after-Halloween or after-Easter candy! There’s always that extra taste of desperation or something about half-price heart boxes that make it yummy!

Thanks, love! I’m hoping it won’t happen again, but I know me. It probably will. At least this one didn’t take three years to heal!
