Challenge Entry #1
I totally missed this challenge, I’ve been busy with crafts for this time of year! Made cute Halloween skirts for my daughter and I, and now I’m working on a dragon wings shawl for her. I have more clothes and gifts to make… I’m always crafting lol!
Anyway I don’t have an official entry since this is closed but it did get me thinking. One thing I’ve done for quite a while now is being aware of the day names. I follow the Norse pantheon, so each day I focus on the God or Goddess and what teachings they have. For example Wednesday is Odin’s day. I focus on learning, wisdom, and insight. Tuesday is Tyr’s day… I try to keep promises on that day, if I have any that I haven’t fulfilled. Friday is Freya’s or Frigga’s day. I focus on romance, the home and hearth, family, etc. Just some small examples. (I need to work more on it. I frequently just go through my days and don’t think much about them.)
I also always use a candle when I do prayers, spells, or rituals. Someday I hope to collect colored ones. For now I use white tea lights. I have a couple of crystals and herbs, and joining Spells8 has helped me be aware of things I can use to boost any workings I do.
Oh! I also frequently choose colors I wear to match the day and what I need. Cool colors for calming, warm for warmth or motivation. Black for protection. Pink for softness and love. I need to get back into that, I haven’t been as mindful about the colors I use.
My daughter and I also recently collected the 2023 Coloring Book of Shadows planners, so that we can both be more aware of the moon phases and astrological changes throughout the year. Being more in flow with things like that I think boosts everything we do. We as humans can get so out of flow with nature. I think the Universe responds in kind when we follow the flow the best that we can, and work in alignment in the things we do and say.
Anyway here’s the website with more information about the planners!
It is definitely my goal to work more with correspondences in EVERYTHING I do!
