@Torista Your natal chart turned out beautifully, Torista- what a great addition to your Grimoire! It looks like you dove pretty deep into the details of your chart as well, great work! 
@JollyStar Hooray for knot magick- it sounds like a perfect area for your talents to shine, Amber! 
I love the chant too- I think the counting really helps to build the spellwork into place as you stitch the ladder into being 
Beautiful work, may your ladder help to strengthen your love and bring many blessings!
@Kasandra Chamomile to the rescue- it really is a great herb for calming down, and a perfect one for a relaxing bath 
I feel the same about energy drinks- they only seem to amplify any problems I’m having before I drink them 
And ohhh your friend’s garden sounds amazing- so many great plants! 
You are very clever for adjusting the blessing to your practice, and I have to say I love how it turned out. Great job! 
@Ostara Amazing finds, Ostara- you have quite the eye for witchy potential while shopping! Your rosemary is stunning- it must be very happy there with you 
And perfect timing indeed- way to make the most of the full moon for the challenge this week! 
Your oil is gorgeous- it looks like a happy moment in the garden contained within a glass. Great work!
@Phoenix_Fire I’m glad that you were able to find some themes that resonated with you and your growing business, Danni- I think you choose some great ones! 
I hope you enjoyed working with your healing crystals as well with honing your intentions. I love the idea of including a binding rune in the spellwork, that is very creative! 
@Jessica72 You’re very kind for asking the crystal what it wanted- I think it has a lovely new purpose in your pendulum jar, it really looks amazing so far! 
I’m sure that once the crystal chips arrive it will be even more gorgeous. And haha you’re too funny- if it moves on its own, I don’t know what I’d do either! 
Hopefully it will behave and will only work at your will! 
Lovely crystal work as well- thanks for bringing back the affirmations and info 
And I feel you, my friend- freedom is a blessing, but it can be a heavy one sometimes. Keep going strong- you are on the right path and are constantly making progress with the most important person: you! Cheering for you, Jessica- you’re amazing!
@NickWick Hooray for a fellow tea lover- I’m glad you decided to jump in on the tea challenge, Nicki, I think it’s a great one for you and your talents! 
And brilliant use of chamomile tea bags- that is such a great one to include in the bath spell! Your bag is gorgeous and I can image you had a very lovely infusion bath 
And how exciting to meet the sigil within your dream- did you ever look into the voice that spoke to you? The sigil sounds like their gift to you! 
I think it will go wonderfully with your beautiful chant
@Artemisia It was a perfect week to work full moon magick, good for you for drawing on the moon in your entry, Kat! Congrats on your first ritual oil- it’s an exciting landmark! Do you have a spell or ritual in mind that you are hoping to use the oil for? Or perhaps keep it around for the right moment? Either way, great job- enjoy the full moon oil!
@Rowan I remember you posting about the situation next door before- it’s a shame not only that people that awful exist, but that they keep getting away with the horrible things that they do 
I think the signs you crafted are really heartfelt- I love the combination of symbolism and intention you put into their creation. May they help protect the poor boy and bring him the safety and happiness he deserves You are so kind to help him, Rowan
@MeganB The sweet dreams bag sounds lovely, Megan! I know the feeling about running out of time- I feel like I say this a lot, but it is a busy time of year! 
Even if not for the challenge, I hope you’re able to find some nice relaxing time to make your bag- may it help you find sweet and happy dreams! 
@Jem1 Radioactive is a great song to jam out to- a really powerful accompaniment to the full moon! I never considered combining queer symbols and magick, but I don’t see why not- sounds like an idea with lots of potential! The female symbol is also the planetary symbol of Venus 
and the male symbol is also the planetary symbol of Mars 
It makes me wonder which planets the other gender symbols correspond with too!
@Mistella Not just one, but two lovely entries about Sacred Trees and Wood! It sounds like this theme really clicked for you, Mistella 
The Witch Bells made from maple are such a clever idea- happy crafting! 
And oh, congrats on your new lilac bushes- lilacs are a favorite of mine! 
It sounds like your lilac tree had a special sparkly gift for you, that’s so sweet Thank you very much for joining in the challenge, Mistella- great work!
@Sarafeena_Sage Woohoo- a Gem Fair sounds like heaven for a Crystal Collector like yourself, Sarall- I bet you had a blast! 
I am drooling over your amazing haul- you found yourself some really amazing treasures. Thanks so much for sharing them! 
And ohhhh that is some smart thrifty witchery you have going on- great finds, and for such good prices too! Creativity and recycling go a long way in the Craft- brilliant work!
@AileyGrey I really love your enthusiasm and excitement- it’s contagious! The Goals and Intent challenge is a fantastic choice for someone at the beginning of their magickal journey- it sounds like you put a lot of careful thought and emotion into building your Book of Shadows and journalling. Great job, Kristin- you are well on your way to achieving your goals, I’m cheering you on! 
@BrightBear You’ve been busy, BrightBear- no worries at all! I think you’re amazing for planning out the time to do your self-care work despite everything on your plate at the moment. Kitchen Witchery is a beloved aspect and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it- I feel like I can smell your lovely simmer pot from here! 
Good for you for finding a new tradition that brings you joy- great job!
The Props and Presents post for this challenge is now live in the forum and badges have been sent out to all those who entered 
Gosh, I probably shouldn’t pick a “favorite challenge”, but maybe- because the Catch-Ups are technically all of the challenges- it’s okay if I play favorites here! It is so much fun to see which themes everyone chooses- the forum feels so alive when all the different types of magick are on proud display 
Thank you all once again for joining in- great job, everyone!
