@christina4 thatās how I get a lot of my inspiration is looking at stuff either online or in stores.justin had just cut some limbs down at our old house when I came across those online and decided I would just make them instead. I make a lot of my own stuff because when I was in active addiction we never had the money to spare. Itās honestly the reason I got into art work to begin with

My 
Giving Gratitude (Blessed and Grateful) challenge is now done!
I finally cleaned off my altar and decorated it with artificial orange leaves, pumpkins, acorns, and pine cones, and one of those small brooms that smell like cinnamon for Mabon.
Unfortunately, the screw in part on one of the legs broke off. 
I think thatās from my tightening them too much. But some Gorilla Glue fixed the problem. Iām hoping the table will last for a few more years. I only paid $15 for it when I got it last year.
Anyway, after I was done decorating, I said a Draconic Gratitude Prayer that went something like this:
Tonight, I give thanks for all that I have.
I give thanks that I am healthy and alive as the pandemic rages on.
For my family.
For my job.
For my kitty.
For my best friend.
For the roof over my head.
For the food that nourishes me.
For my eyesight that allows me to admire the beauty of a autumn leaves each year.
For the Infinite Roots coven and their support.
For my talents of drawing and writing.
For all who have a hand in the creation of books, movies, TV shows, and video games, thank you for the entertainment your hard work has provided me.
And most of all, I give thanks to the Great Dragons, named and unnamed who continue to lend me their wisdom and strength.
To Veaug, I thank you for your assistance in helping me decipher the meaning of tarot and oracle cards and giving me a glimpses into my past lives.
To Tysteal, I thank you for the protection you provide me during the lunar cycle.
To Morthan, I thank you for your abundance of motherly love, protection, and wisdom.
To Grael, I thank you for Earth, the planet that we call home.
To Sairys, I thank you for the clean air I breathe.
To Fafnir, I thank you for the sun that gives us warmth and life.
To Naelyon, I thank you for the water that sustains that life.

2nd Challenge Entry
My final entry for this challenge is for the 
Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE- Earth-Friendly Witchcraft!
~Re-use materials~
- Think back to last weekās challenge about Thrifty Witchcraft- instead of buying something new, maybe you can think creatively and re-use materials you have on hand in new ways. In addition to saving money, reusing is one of the Three Rās (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to help reduce climate change and save the planet!
I actually do this on a regular basis, I reuse jars/bottles. More specifically mason jars or spice bottles to hold my witchy apothecary items. Then I put labels on them & reuse them over & over to hold a specific item/herb/oil. The most recent one that I saved when we were finished with it in the kitchen was a Paprika bottle & a mini jam jar. (My daughter will also save pouches or jars for me when she comes across them).
Most of the items bottles/jars for my witchy herbs are reusable & I keep any extras of things that I have in my cabinet. I do have some things that are store-bought, but they were either on sale or I had some kind of coupon for them or they were originally a decoration!

My first challenge.
Elemental mastery
An elemental healing spell
Come foreword to observe the rite I will now ply
A ritual bath to bless and purify.
Bless this small altar, & if it please thee,
4 stones, the size of a 25 cent piece.
Paint them bright colors,
Red for the fire, Blue for water,
Yellow for air, and Earth is Green.
1 for each element, now should be seen.
Dress a candle of white to brighten the night
Lit with great ceremony, and also with love.
Incense of Dragons Blood For protection and healing.
A night sky full of stars & Goddess above.
Calling the elements
I call with my Heart, Will & Love.
The strength of the Elements I call to you.
The Earth that turns & Water that flows -
Fire that burns & Air that blows
Lastly the 5th element, the one who knows.
Some call you Spirit , I call to you Soul
And the strength of the elements to give my words power.
For those who are damaged & in pain that makes you sour
Crash mighty thunder awaken the sky
Lightening brighten the night so I can see with mine eyes
Send strength & endurance to those who have fear or need
I pray that you send healing to wounds & psyche that are torn .
Iāve called upon your power & your good graces too.
I send thanks to all elements, my beloved Goddess too
As I bring this rite to a final conclusion.
Your presence has blessed us & we feel no delusion.
I release one & all go blessed into this night.
As it has been spoken, so shall it be.
As above, so below
Allow candle to burn for an hour.
Then Put it out.
Wrap it in a clean white cloth Put it in your supplies for
the next time to use.
Clean your altar and make sure incense is out.
Cover your altar and retreat with a bow.
This is an older spell revisited. I tore it apart 5-6 times and rewrote it. So I guess it is new.
Always practice fire safety!

My second submission is on
Elemental earth healing
I speak to the Earth and Mother Goddess,
Man is destroying the world with neglect and greed
I plea for a healing to renew what Earth needs
For its wounds and scars, from mining and gain
Crisscross the land and it screams out in pain.
Earth, you shake in your pain, tremors that turn into quakes.
Trying to shout out your need for surcease.
Let it be so, Mother, let Earths pain ease
Remind man the Earth is only on loan
And that we must take care or our children.
Will inherit but dust and the powder of bone
I ask for renewal and that it harm none.
As I have spoken, let it be done.

For my 2nd challenge, Iām learning about IxChel
Let me tell you, she is quite the lady! From goddess of birth/fertility/midwives to goddess of the apocalypse 
Sheās also considered a triple moon goddess, however her story varies due to loss of records lost during the Spanish invasion and conversion to catholicism, especially when it comes to who she was married to and her children. Some of whom created the universe. Thereās just so much information! I also learned that there are over 200 deities in the Mayan pantheon. Most of what Iām finding, though I havenāt dug too deep yet, is based mostly in Mexico. There are Mayan ruins in CopĆ”n Honduras and I would love to visit however, I am too gringa and it isnāt safe, makes me sad. Here is one site that I came across. Ix Chel loosely translates to lady of the rainbows 
Incidentally they are not good omens in Mayan culture

Okay gonna do it. I am submitting my entry. This is just more of mentioning a personal achievement than anything else. I have been working on getting a little astral travel miles. I am not good at that sort of thing at all. Last night I completely know that I took that trip to where I meant to go and interacted with the one I had in mind to meet there. Now of course I was asleep. So dreams is the answer for the rational mind. The thing is though I am not a person who A ever wakes up from dreams, and B never remembers dreams. Just not something I do. Since I am so generally resistant to inducing the state in anything close to a wakeful state I believe that my subconscious decided to help me. Of course I also wouldnāt be surprised if my one that I met there wouldnāt have helped as well. They are one I know would if they could. Of course it can all be explained away. It certainly isnāt something I would have expected nor did I really initiate it. As I said just mostly to share. It is a travel I would do any time. It is a place I would gladly stay at. All that said I am sure it is also a place I will rarely visit without a lot of luck.

For my second catch up challenge entry Iāve decided to do something for 
Of the Element Earth - Earth Elemental
I created a small terrarium a few months ago that has been sitting on the window sill in my office. Iāve already had to replace one of the small sempervivum āhouse leekā plants as it wasnāt thriving and they were starting to look a little sad again.
An advert happened to pop up on my Facebook or Instagram feed with an app for diagnosing problems with plants that had a similar succulent. It suggested possibly over watering and not enough sunlight, to be fixed with removing the dead leaves with tweezers and relocating to a sunnier spot.
So this is what Iāve done. My terrarium and a couple of other small plants have been relocated to a sunny window ledge upstairs, and in the process I seem to have accidentally created another small altar space 
Iāve also treated the plants with this disgusting looking concoction which was inspired by a this post by @phoenix_dawn Herb Hack & Small Update on Me - #19 by phoenix_dawn
Itās made from broken down aloe vera leaf which has been sat on my bookshelf since July. Iām hoping the chlorophyll dose will perk up the plants and Iāll report back on progress.

So this lil Bit of Earth is one of my favorite Sacred Places : For Earth Magic and Reflection/Meditation and the occasional spell.
I also have an ongoing Highway that I have Adopted (itās my route to work) so on my way home every day - if I see something that doesnāt belong to The Earth Mother I take it with me and trash it. It has been one of my favorite things to do every now and then with my kids ālolā picking up trash doesnāt sound fun ā but when your in Nature and doing something that benefits her ā itās all worth it !
