Merry meet!
Thank you once again to all those who joined in for last week’s Weekly Witchy Challenge - Nordic Traditions and Magick 
This week marks another milestone in witchy challenge history, and it is a particularly exciting occasion- we have reached 200 Witchy Challenges !
As this challenge is a decimal of ten, it is a Catch-Up Challenge- aka a chance to partake in any challenges that were missed or that you didn’t have the opportunity to join before- but to mark the anniversary of this special challenge landmark, there will be an extra bonus for all challengers this week (see below for details) 
Challenge Catch-Up : 200th Challenge 
To celebrate the 200th Weekly Challenge something extra special is happening…
Was there a busy week where you missed a challenge? Did an interesting theme happen before you joined the forum? Maybe there was a topic you were hesitant to try but now feel ready for. Well- now is your chance!
This week is a Catch-Up Week where all previously closed challenges will be re-opened for a short time!
STEP 1: Choose Your Challenge(s) 
From knot magick to past lives, element exploration, gathering blessings, and more- there are 181 previous challenge themes to choose from (past Catch-Up challenges not included).
