Weekly Witchy Challege of Spell Jars & Bottles Catch Up Entry

Tonight I made my first spell bottle. I have some challenges with communication amongst a project team at work. My first spell bottle was created to help promote effective communication.

It wasnā€™t perfect, I forgot to put a few items inside before sealing, but I improvised. I feel like the intent is strong enough to see past the improvision.

Challenge Entry - Technomancer

I was so upset to miss this one, so Iā€™ve been waiting for the catch up! First off, it was so much fun to read what everyone was up to! I love technology! Iā€™m good at technology! I get the biggest rush of endophines talking about and using technology! I got myself in a bit of a tizzy when I first started thinking about this, so I had to make myself slow down and simplify!

Spells8 is probably the biggest way that I use technology in my craft. Honestly, I wouldnā€™t be where I am on my journey without Infinite Roots. I am thankful for the lessons, the resources, the videos, and most especially the people! Iā€™ve grown so much as a witch, and a person, since Iā€™ve found all of you!

Secondly, I was really excited (relieved?) to see how many people use digital grimoires. Iā€™m not going to lie, in my head, I have this need for a big leather volume stuffed full of spells and recipes and resources that are scrawled in the handwritings of all the ancestors. In my head my progeny hoist it onto a pedastol with mites of dust dancing in the candle lightā€¦ but realistically, thatā€™s not going to happen! Iā€™ve decided I really do want a digital grimoire. Iā€™ve started working on my layout. My reward for finishing this tedious dyslexia class that Iā€™m in (I have one assignment left for this class thatā€™s due today that I really ought to start on!) is to work for a few weeks whole heartedly on the grimoire.

With that said, I didnā€™t want to let go of my dreams of my handwritten scrawl, so I made my own font with calligraphr like @Francisco suggested! I call it ā€œMe, Myself, and Iā€ and itā€™s so fun to type and see my own handwriting. I love it!

I cannot wait to have everything all situated! Iā€™ll share more as soon as I get to a point where I can!

I added the properties of each of the below waters into my book of spells journal and created Rose Water and Snow Water (as pictured).

There are so many more types of water than in the picture, I just really liked Elizabethā€™s picture with basic water/correspondences.

Celestial Exploration-Cosmic Witch

Challenge Entry

I made my first jar of moon water for this challenge. I had an empty jar and some rituals down the line that require moon water, so I filled up a jar and put it on a window sill in sight of the moon (itā€™s getting below freezing each night and I didnā€™t want to risk breaking the jar) and tucked it away in a drawer before the sunrise.

challenge entry - strength of the full moon

I researched this full moon. I looked up info on the web, e.g. tarot.com, spritualtyhealth.com, and read my Tarot by Moon book by Victoria Constantino. I mulled over how both this moon and the current astrological sign interact. I have put my musings in parentheses.

Todayā€™s full moon is called a Snow Moon. It was also known as the Ice moon or Hunger moon as food was scarce this month.
(I was thinking that it is good that Imbolc is celebrated at the beginning of February as obviously there was still a scarcity in food. The celebration of the approaching spring would be a light at the end of the tunnel to help get through until then. )

The Snow Moon is a good time to look at what is causing lack in your life. And conversely, also good to look at how you can bring in abundance, make room for expansion in your life, where excess could be trimmed, and nourish self on an energetic level. (Iā€™m thinking look at lack and then make tailor made meditations, ointments, talismans that focus on abundance and nourishment in those areas.)

This is also a good time to sit in stillness and enjoy this moment before it transitions into the next phase. The earth is beginning to prepare for rebirth. (Sit in stillness, can you sense the rebirth? What seeds have you planted/prepared for this past fall/winter, how are they beginning to stir? Are any last minute boosts needed)
How are we mindful of the smaller shifts that are happening in the Northern Hemisphere that show that spring is coming. (If we are in a dark time, how can we acknowledge the small shifts that are happening to us that are our harbingers of our own spring?)

This moon is also in Leo.
During this moon there is a stronger desire to let people know how you feel so we are more appt to express love/appreciation.

However, we could also feel more insecure which can mean we have more expressions of those insecurities (here I am reflecting back to the snow moon and thinking about the sense of lack- great tie in here for a meditation and a counter-acting/supportive spell for nourishment/abundance feelings)

During the Leo moon we could feel more sensitive and vulnerable so we can ask those for reassurance. (Or we could have an empowering bath or both. )

As Leo is a sign of expressing oneself, pursue and artistic outlet or go socialize (thought- donā€™t go socialize if you are feeling vulnerable or sensitive :wink:)

Generally full moons are culminations so it is good to look at the seeds that have been planted to see if it has come to fruition( and if not in how you intended then looking at changing the ā€˜seedā€™ or ā€˜groundā€™ in which it has been planted. If it did come to fruition as planted than acknowledging that and expressing gratitude. )

Cool- the moon moves fast enough to pass through each zodiac sign each month.

Now that I have posed these questions, I am going to go and pull my full moon tarot spread and mull over these answers. :slight_smile:

Blessed be everyone!

Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Catch-up
**@jan_TheGreenWitch **
#3 CHALLENGE ENTRY - Trying Something New - Experimenter

I decided to do the forumā€™s first ever challenge! I challenged myself to do Nail Polish Magick based on many articles I read and referencing specifically this one:

I needed something I could do from my bed whilst recovering from surgery and it indeed was an experiment because of wanting to put some magick into my nail routine, and because I canā€™t go to salon, yet I have neuropathy. So, I modified the ritual and used Nail wraps and this took me 2 hours instead of the normal 15 minutes. Iā€™m proud of my effort and agreement inside myself to skip the perfectionism and revel in the ritual.
Also, I might have a Color Street problem!

I love color street!!! I am getting my first subscription box this month. :slight_smile: Your nails look beautiful!!! How do you get the edges so nice? I am still working on that.

Thanks @Phoenix_Rose - itā€™s a lot of trial and practice, but i also use YouTube and just watch a bunch of how to videos. I like it because normally they are so easy to put on and take off and donā€™t have toxicity that going to salon would with the gel which is what I prefer, but Iā€™m trying to be very health conscious with chemicals these days.!!!

challenge entry -A touch of tarot
I see that others are marking the number of their challenge entry if they have done more than 1. Sorry! I have not. I believe this is entry #4.

I pulled a spread for the full moon today to reflect where I am, what is influencing me, what I have created, what is no longer serving me, how can I release this energy, and what can I learn during this cycle.

The spread from my Writual Planner (so glad that was suggested on this site) (Edit was to include where I got the planner from).

I love the synergy of life! My doc told me recently that maybe I donā€™t have to hold on so tight (I was crying in his office because I felt like if I didnā€™t hold it together all the time that my world would fall apart -husband canā€™t handle it if I am upset or sad and work is very busy. It is interesting to me that my doctors office is the only safe place where I can just shed a couple of tears. At least for now). Anyways the ā€œwhat I can learn during this cycleā€ answer was to learn to let go and open myself to the inherit generosity of the goddess.

I donā€™t specifically turn the cards so that some will be reversed. I read the cards as a spectrum and try to use my intuition to help with which end. However, I will pull out my pendulum when I have a card that I think would be considered reversed. Then I use the Tarot Reversals book by Leeza Robertson (LOVE THIS BOOK), and I use the pendulum to intuit if the card is blocked, in protection, mirror, shadow, or retrograde. Then look that up in her book. Has been so perfectly on spot so far.

This reading really reflected where I am, what I am going through and steps to move forward. I think this month may be challenging (had 2 5s) but given the other cards, it means that from these potential difficulties, there will be a transformation into something of value. (that is as long as I do the work and learn the lesson :slight_smile: ) The cards have also told me to not try to push so hard in transforming (hence the letting go portion of the reading as well)

Love reading the tarot.

For this reading I used my Druidcraft deck.

Cheers!
