For my challenge I am going to do some potion making. Since tonight is the full harvest moon I am going to make full moon oil with the intent of gratitude. Every time I use this oil I will reflect on all the blessings in my life.Full Moon Anointing Oil

Inviting Abundance
For this challenge, I diffused cinnamon essential oil, made myself some cinnamon stick tea and meditated on all that I have in my life. I didnāt plan my affirmations, but here are a few that I said:
Laasi jahrii do Norgraz (My life is full of abundance) Zuāu jahrii do Unazom, Jiik, Faraan ahrk Drem (I am full of happiness, joy, wealth, and peace)
Laasi jahrii do Pruntaas (My life is full of success)
Oo sahrot Dovah, zuāu nox hi fah daar zodrem Haadridak voth Fuhilpiin ahrk Lovaas (Oh mighty dragons, I thank you for this peaceful meditation with tea and music)
It was hard to choose which choose fall ambient music to listen to, but I settled on
Haunted Village Halloween Ambience 
3 Hours of Relaxing Spooky and Fall Nature Sounds, White Noise
Image thatās seen while the video is playing
After a while, I became lost in the image. It was like I was looking through a window.

Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Catch-Up!
Liminal Magick ā Liminal Witch - Entry
Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Catch-Up!
A Liminal Path
About 3 weeks ago, I was using clippers in the yard trimming plants. Then I trimmed my handā¦ I was so angry with myself for being so careless. Of course, this was about 6:30 pm on a Sunday, which means my doctorās office was closed and so were all the urgent care centers. So my only choice was an emergency room. From past experience, I knew that if I got a couple of stitches it would heal quicker.
And so begins my walk down a liminal pathā¦ The ER was crowded and understaffed. When I was finally put in a room it was the very last room at the end of a very long hallway with several turns along the way.
There was a strong presence of security officers at every turn. I also had to walk through a metal detector just to get into the ER. It seemed strange and I had an eerie feeling, especially in the room I was in!!! I didnāt think about it too much. I occupied my time playing games on my phone because I had no cell service. I finally got my stitches after about 4 hours thankfully.
For about the next 5 days, I was very depressed, one of the worst episodes Iāve ever had. I heard things, that I had never heard beforeā¦ it was quite frightening, to say the least. I was even using āthe hardcore oilsā Rose, Helichrysum, Frankincense, Jasmine, etc. I used the oils with the highest energy vibrations and the most light, but it didnāt help. I even took extra anti-depressants, but nothing seemed to work. I would just cry for no reason. I felt crazy and very alone.
This also coincided with the time my Intuition cycle in my Biorhythm chart was at rock bottom. On day 5, I realized I had brought something home with me from the hospitalā¦ not a ābugā or virus or bacteria but an evil entity! I have banished entities before, so I quickly did it again. And I immediately felt better!
I learned a lot from this experience, I had become careless and wasnāt doing as much protection, healing and cleansing as I usually do. Or maybe, Iām just getting old! Anyone whoās an empath knows that hospitals are filled with spirits that have not moved on! Itās a very sad place. No wonder security was so strong!

Marsha,
I believe that what youāve experienced is considered an āoppression,ā which is where a negative energy tries to attach itself to a positive energy source. I also believe that the best tactic is to continue being as positive as possible to combat the negativity.
You should also consider letting your medical provider know about this as it is possible that any physiologic condition you may have may have been altered by this event.
Consider letting friends and family know so that they can comfort you and provide solace. Also, please keep us all here posted as well!
Wishing you continued strength!

As an add-on: Iām fascinated with entities such as Lilith, Hekate, Odinn (The Crazed One), and the true ancients such as those from pre-history. In searching for a sigil for Lilith, including the amazing information found on this website, it occurred to me that (for me only) I donāt like Lilithās sigil!
Odd, huh?
Well, for me, the second, I believe the most common sigil, harkens too much to Saturn, Medieval Christianity, and the third imparts Luciferian and sacrificial overtones. Both of these seem to smother Lilith in masculinity (a punishment?). I am partial to the first sigil, however, even though it is the one I would use similar to her formal name if you will, I donāt believe it is thorough enough.
In reading, and re-reading the Book of Nod, and other sources, such as in this podcast, Iāve come to have a deep respect for her wisdom and perseverance. She was not one who devoured babies, nor a succubus, nor predisposed to evil intentions or acts. She has been maligned for centuries because she refused to be subjugated - and who canāt identify with that?
Given this challenge then, I have decided to develop a personal Lilith sigil - or try to!
Please wish me luck

Thanks so much for the reply @Wysteria_Norn As soon as I realized what had happened to me, I cleared it. I immediately felt better, no more evil voices speaking to me. I have shared as you suggested. Thank you for wishing me strength and for your concern. It really means a lot to me.
I did a quick search on āoppression by an entityā and found this 
It made me smile 
āThere are many reasons why demonic oppression and possession happen. Most of the reasons are based on weak faith, disobedience to religion, and falling into sin.ā

P.S. Wishing you the best of luck in creating your new personal Lilith sigil! 
I would love to see what you create, but if you feel itās too personal, I understand.
With love always!

Oh, Marsha,
Youāve found an image of the hallway to forever. It may end with the brick wall, or it may turn left or right. What if itās a liminal brick wall that you see but isnāt there? Itās like forever, it goes on and onā¦
Love you bunches.
Garnet.
PS, I think, since we did the challenge on liminality, I find myself looping like a skipping record.

@Phoenix_Fire ā Aww I canāt see your first picture! It looks like something went wrong when you uploaded it. 
I love your altar, though! I think using wax melts as a candle alternative is a good idea. 
@Wysteria_Norn ā Hmm 
Iāve never thought of Dark Matter as being something that our ancestors and other spirits are made of. Thatās such an interesting perspective!
@Kasandra ā I knew the books and the show were different but I didnāt know how different they were! I think I definitely want to read those books eventually. 
I think your spell for alleviating fear is wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with us
@Garnet ā āYou ARE the master of your fate, so learn to sail the lovely sailing ship called YOU.ā That is so right Garnet. I love all of this. All of your points make perfect sense. I think one of the things I often forget to do myself is breath 
itās so difficult for me, especially with so many things going on in my daily life. This is the reminder that I needed. 
Modern altars are an interesting concept in the way many pagans and Wiccans use them. In many cultures there would be a community altar, generally one for the home or town. Altars to individual deities were rare, so our modern inclination to give each deity their own space has always fascinated me 
Thanks for sharing!
@Phoenix_Rose ā Congratulations on your sigils! 
I love the ones you created!
@Kasandra ā It just occured to me recently that I donāt think Iāve done this challenge! Maybe Iāll make a whole post about how I do my money altarā¦ 
that should work for this one!
@marsha ā I can tell you from working in hospitals that they are definitely a liminal space. If you think about it, so many spirits pass through there! 
Itās where people go to die and itās where people go to live and be born. It doesnāt surprise me that you brought something home with you but Iām glad you were able to get it banished!

For each of my challenge entries I decided to utilize the Full Moon this month - May I please submit an entry for:
Deities of the Moon ā Blessed by the Moon
These pages come from āMoon Magic: A Handbook of Lunar Cycles, Lore and Mystical Energiesā by Aurora Kane
May I also please submit an entry for:
Strength of the Full Moon - Lunar Witch
These pages come from āLiving Lunarly: Moon Based Self-Care for Your Mind, Body and Soulā by Kiki Ely
Seeing as September is my birth month I decided that I really wanted to try and utilize the strength of this monthās full moon to make a little magic. During the Moon Goddess meditation I wore my moonstone rings and my moonstone pendant and I preformed my meditation holding my moonstone sphere crystal. It brought back memories of when I first started practicing last year. I did a salt water purification ritual and I remember afterwards just crying and asking out loud for the Moon Goddess to accept me and help me. I tell you what I think it well and truly worked. Once you open up to that connection you feel her power all the time.

Weekly Witchy Challenge- Catch up:
Earth Friendly Witchcraft- Earth Witch
Iāve been working on making my yard more drought tolerant this year. Iām building a rock garden with better plants for my area. There has been this poor little cactus planted in the wrong bed for the almost 6 years Iāve lived here so I decided to dig it up and move it to a better home- My Rock Garden!
I have a few pictures for this challenge:
This is where it was being crowded out by succulents in the shaded wetter area.

For my second entry I chose Moon Magick- Moon Witch
I had to take an emergency trip back to Oklahoma this week, so Friday night before I left I sat down with a gorgeous Full Moon, blessed some jewelry and made some amulets with my jewelry. I charged everything with the moon and meditated on my trip for a while.
The next night when I came in for a landing, the moon was huge and red! It looked magnificent in the sky as it rose. It was an amazing sight and it gave me a real sense of calm.

Thanks! I find it quite intriguing.
My theory, which is still a work-in-process, is that maybe as we āpass onā from what we consider to be regular matter (about 5% of the known Universe) in death, we transfer (if you will) into the Aether (AKA Pleroma, Dark Energy, Spirit Realm). During that process, we āfall intoā a Dark Matter state, which physicists say makes up roughly 15% of the known universe but we canāt regularly interact or sense it. If this is close to the actual thing, then a āspirit realmā does indeed exist and can be sensed and communicated with by certain people or by doing certain activities.
So, maybe, regular matter equates to Body, Dark Matter equates to Mind, and Dark Energy equates to Spirit.
What I like about it is that, rather than forcing us to toss centuries, and even millennia, of knowledge attained by dedicated and educated people, it allows us to incorporate (pun intended lol) that information for, perhaps, a clearer picture of our existence.
Also, it provides something solid for me to attribute deities, spirits, guides, ancestors, etc., as Dark Matter is believed to be much older and more ubiquitous than regular matter.
Thanks again.
As you can tell, this is a subject Iām rather passionate about!
Have an awesome day!

Iām not sure how I do it, but Iāll try to explain my process. It started when I was young early teens, maybeā¦ I had dreams of being attacked by Evil, and I would recite the Lordās Prayer over and over. I felt and believed that I was safe. Since I was so young and also raised as a Christian, this was all I knew.
As I got older, I learned how to give it to God, believing that it would be taken care of. I had out-of-body visions of being with Jesus, my teacher. I also learned about Grace and Angels. I would describe this phase as walking in the path of a Christian Mystic. Even though I was no longer going to church, I was learning so much more than what I had been taught as a child.
Later it became āsurrounding it with White Light!ā I learned different forms of hands-on healing and forecasting the future with Astrology, Tarot, and more.
I have a Christian history, but I do not consider myself a Christian Witch. I actually think witch is just another word for magic! I consider myself first and foremost a healer.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I simply send evil to the Sun and destroy it! And itās done! However, the most important part is healing with ālightā and sealing any wounds in the aura.
Sadly, in my past, I thought I was helping someone, by removing the evil entity attached to them. I didnāt destroy it or use light to seal the woundsā¦ and another entity came in to fill that space.
My process:
- Send the entity to the Sun or center of the Earth to burn up.
- Fill the wound with healing light.
- Seal the wound, and heal the aura.
- Protect yourself and your space.
As I said above, I see myself as a Healer, not a Teacher, so I hope this helps you to understand what I do. Your questions and comments are very welcome.
With love and magick 
always

I sincerely thank you for sharing your healing process with me 
I am a Christian Gnostic Witch, so I donāt think highly of the OT god. However, I have loved Jesus Christ since the first time I laid eyes on his image on the cover of a kidās book as a child.
I can say that simply conversing with you is a peaceful experience!
Wishing you love and bountiful light and thanks again!
