Hello All! I am combining my three entries into a single post to make it easy on @BryWisteria. 🥰 ## Entry #1: Dream Magick For this challenge, I decided to make a new dream pillow as my current one needed a refresh. I found a “recipe” for Hecate’s Pillow. Hecate provides protection at night as well as psychic enhancements. This pillow is to allow you to journey safely during your dreams and/ or appeal to Hecate to block nightmares. Ingredients: - 2 parts dried lavender - 1 part dried mullein - Lavender Essential oil - Black cloth or bag 1. Blend the lavender and mullein together in a glass bowl. 2. Sprinkle a few drops of the EO over the dried botanicals. 3. Allow this mixture to dry thoroughly then use it to fill a black pillow or bag. I used a bag b/c laziness, lol. 4. Place under your pillow or in your pillowcase as you go to sleep. Saw a quick prayer to Hecate to protect you during your dream journey. > Goddess Hekate, Great Witch Queen > Infernal host of things unseen > Hear my prayer before I sleep > That my safety and protection you shall keep > As I ask, please make it be. > Queen of Good and Queen of Ill > Blessed be thy name, and blessed be thy will. > > ![20230206_192841](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/c/8/c8ec9a4777a5e42086a275ee2e30d27712e1df8c.jpeg) > ![20230206_192942](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/b/5/b5f897aa205fa3363613e4e527553eea6ba32557.jpeg) * * * ## Entry #2: Dealing in the Divine For this challenge, I decided to take inspiration from Rowan on the original [🙏 Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE- Dealing in the Divine - #26 by Rowan](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-dealing-in-the-divine/3533/26)) and create BOS pages for both my deities (Hades and Hel). This was a fun challenge in creativity that I actually enjoyed. I think I’ll add these to my shop! Hades: ![Hades BOS Page](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/c/b/cba74200d404dd70975431be3141a4d7b438ef41.jpeg) Hel: ![Hel BOS](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/f/e/fec97449ff88ea681c3e3677e2caf739088aa2c0.jpeg) * * * ## Entry #3: Moon Magick As last night was the full moon, I performed the [Drawing Down the Moon](https://spells8.com/drawing-down-the-moon/) ritual here on Spells 8. I forgot to take a picture last night and now it’s really cloudy. 😒 > By the flowers of the field, O Lady of delight. By the crops thy blessing yield, O Maiden clear and bright. > > We evoke thy presence in kernels and sheaves. We see thy face in the moonlit leaves. Come now to us; extend thy grace. Come into our circle within this holy space. > > Daughter of the Earth, drinking sunlight. Queen of plants, sister of night, by leaf and twig, by root and bough, by water and earth, come to us now! > > Bring us your grain, the staff of our lives. Bring us your fruit wherever it thrives. Mistress of herbs, unlock your power and lead us into your leafy bower. > > In love and joy, we call your name. With comforting hope, you ease our pain. We see thee in the swelling bud We feel thy stirring in our blood. > > O Lady clear, we feel thee near: In spring a maiden with flowers crowned; In summer and harvest, the Mother renewed; In fall and winter, the Hag holds sway, Yet, the Maiden remains but months away. > > Great Triple Goddess, the seasons flow and ebb to thy will as you come and go.

Apologies for the late reply- I thought I responded yesterday, but it looks like I got swept away in counting entries and didn’t get around to actually replying here- just want to say that these are lovely, @Amaris_Bane! ❤ Dream pillows are amazing and I love that you dedicated this one specifically to Hecate. May She watch over you at night and help you find safe and happy dreams 😴 And look at those BoS pages- wow! It’s clear you brought out both your love and appreciation for these deities along with your creativity, the pages turned out gorgeous 📜😊 As for the moon pictures, I’ve yet to take one I like. Between cloudy weather and a really lackluster phone camera (especially in the dark lol) I empathize that it’s a real challenge haha. Lovely work with your ritual, though- I hope you had a blessed full moon! 🌝 * * * Thank you for sharing your lovely entries and for joining in the Catch-Up Challenge this week. Great work! 🌟 ---
