Merry meet to all!
Thanks again to all those who joined in for last week’s Weekly Witchy Challenge- Spell Swap Meet 
After swapping spells and sharing our favorite rituals around the coven, its time to put the new spells we’ve learned to the test! The challenge clock has come to stop and challenges of all shapes, sizes, and sorts are open once again!
The theme for this week is…
Challenge Catch-Up! 
To celebrate the 70th Weekly Challenge something special is happening…
Was there a busy week where you missed a challenge? Did an interesting theme happen before you joined the forums? Maybe there was a topic you were hesitant to try but now feel ready for.
Well- now is your chance!
This week is Catch-Up Week where all previously closed challenges will be re-opened for a short time!
