Siofra Strega
Sounds like you have been finding the the antidote to help heal and relax witch. I am glad cause in this busy world it can be a challenge! I am trying to calm this monkey mind of mine too! Lol

For my third challenge I am actually waiting for the New Moon since I need to make some really important decisions. I decided to do some candle magic for the challenge
Light-em-up

Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Light 'Em Up!

Merry meet! Thank you again to everyone who joined in for last week’s Weekly Witchy Challenge - Chaos Magick After handling an area of magick that is both thrilling and confounding, it’s time to exit the chaos and regain peace. Take a deep breath, clear your mind and light up the light of hope This week’s challenge is inspired by the Waxing Moon above and involves the steady glow and guidance of one of the most beloved areas of the Craft… [Witch Challenge Candle Flame Mag…

I used the candle magic book by Ray Buckland for advanced candle magic
I dressed my candle, and I wrote courage on it, and I anointed my oil with some olive oil. When I dressed my candle hi inscribed courage, to help me with a decision that needs to be made so what I did was placed a mirror and three pieces of paper with some choices. I wrote the pros and the cons in my Bo’s! Tonight I am going to do a meditation and contemplate on my choices.

I really think it’s important to make wise decisions and find out what I can do and really make a conscious effort to make wise decisions! I will light my candles on the new moon and chant!
Jeannie

My incense smells woody and I used a pine cone which is my favorite I also used clove and lemon. Some essential oils were used.

@Jeannie1 thank you for your kind words. It’s definitely been a journey & something that I learned, albeit it took me the long way around, to be able to step back & find the best ways to heal & rest when I need to do so. You will get there. I also need to be able to stop & think to make wise or wiser decisions sometimes. I have faith that you will get there & reach your goals too!

Everyone did a great job on their entries & I’m sorry if I couldn’t respond to each one, there were so many great ones!

@Sarafeena_Sage

I pin them to the side of my bed or hang them on my night stand.

I love these! I like how you pin them to your bed rather than hang them over your bed. They’re cute!

@Sarafeena_Sage

I use crystals everyday for different issues.

These are really beautiful stones what’s the one next to the yellow – the green one with speckles in it? I’m really drawn to that one lol

@Sarafeena_Sage

I found out that Christians used them way back in like 300 ad

Yup! Just about everyone has used some sort of symbol like the pentagram, I believe. It’s interesting to see how a symbol that Christians once used is now demonized by the same people!

@Cosmic_Curiosity

This is my first ever entry to the weekly witchy challenge. I have chosen Divining Differently.

I think you did a wonderful job, Alan! Welcome to the forum and great job on your first challenge entry! I really enjoy the little ritual you have with the runes and the oil. It’s similar to something I do with my set of ogham stones. Thank you for sharing!

@Phoenix_Rose

The chant I had made was for the cream to help with aging issues-basically.

That makes sense thanks for sharing! I hope your cream does exactly what you need it to

@Susurrus

I don’t know why I do it but I do…

I mean, do we really know exactly why we do certain things? I for sure don’t!

@Susurrus

However, just today I switched it up a bit because it’s now much cooler than it has been up until this past weekend.

I need to make use of my diffuser more you’re inspiring me!

@Jeannie1

I really think it’s important to make wise decisions

I think you’re absolutely right I love the spell you put together! Here’s many wishes to you for making good decisions

[Susurrus]

@MeganB

you’re inspiring me!

Oh, that’s good , it seems to be a recurring theme Glad I can be some help! It works for me & I really do notice a difference between when I’m using them & when I’m not using them or not using them as often.

[Sarafeena_Sage]

I think the one you’re drawn to is the ruby zoisite I googled its properties for you. You get a double fix with this stone LOL
Ruby in Zoisite offers the energy of happiness, appreciation, abundance, vitality and growth . It is felt to stimulate the heart by helping one to open up to divine love. Zoisite may help to alleviate grief, anger, despair and defeat.

Soifra- Strega,
Honestly it’s been hard for me to step back but I wanted to share with everyone and you too of course! I am going to Oregon and traveling 12 hours away from home
So I am excited I just got a rental car and I am out on a adventure! We’re going to see the a beautiful scenery and landscape.

I will be able to give more to you all because I am taking better care of my priorities! It’s been a long time since me and my husband got a break! So I willing send you a pic when we get there!
I am so glad you’re getting the quality rest that your body needs to heal! I am sending you some magic to help you recover and its a warm hug from your witchy friend on the forum! I need to do my meditation bye for know!
Jeannie

[Susurrus]

Since quoting your whole entry @Jeannie1 would be a bit overkill I just wanted to say thank you & I really appreciate the continued love & healing support each day!

I’m very happy for you & your husband to be able to take a break together & that you are taking better care of your priorities. I have been doing or at least trying my best to do the same. It’s been a tough thing for me to learn that if something doesn’t get done, it’s ultimately okay. I am one person & can only do so much. Especially during healing & making sure that I get myself taken care of also.

I hope you have a safe trip & get to enjoy the time together with the beautiful scenery & landscape! I’ve heard that there are some amazing places to go & enjoy this time of year. Have a great time & stay safe, I will keep you in my thoughts & daily healing… if you don’t mind, I would love to add you to my healing & support book that I have for distance support.

@Susurrus

Oh, that’s good

I just can’t use my diffuser when my mom is home because she’s allergic to most essential oils I’ve got one in my room but I don’t really spend a lot of time in there during the day. I’ll figure out a time to use it though!

@Sarafeena_Sage

Ruby in Zoisite offers the energy of happiness, appreciation, abundance, vitality and growth

Omg That definitely sounds like something I could use in my daily life I wonder if I can find some here close to me I’ll have to keep an eye out for it the next time I go to my local store!

[Sarafeena_Sage]

Its a pretty common stone but if you can’t find one local Cold Brew Crystals on Etsy might have some. She has a sale going on right now. I know there are some members that have stores too But you know that!
