How many challenges can I do this week? 
If you are feeling particularly adventurous this week and want to do more than just the usual one challenge, you can do:
→ Up to THREE CHALLENGES ←
This limit exists to encourage mindfulness on each challenge- please remember that, although some challenges have similar themes, every challenge requires its own unique entry in order to receive the corresponding badge 
But I want to earn all of the badges!
That is awesome- I am so happy that you enjoy the badges so much!
At the end of the day, badges are just a small token- the challenges are really here to help you improve and enhance your magickal practice. So please try to take your time with your exploration of the theme(s) you choose- they are here to help you help yourself!
(On an administrative note, the limit also exists to save your challenge moderator from a potential ocean of badge-giving for all the various challenges at once! )
But for challenge enthusiasts and badge collectors- no fear! You can rest assured that another chance to join in on any additional missed challenges will come again soon. Expect another Catch-Up Challenge and chance to earn old badges every ten challenges

Getting Your Credit
IMPORTANT : Please don’t forget to include the name of the chosen challenge and/or the badge you want somewhere in your post as well!
If you do not include a challenge or badge name with your entry, I will have to use my best guess and you may not get the title you were hoping for- so please be sure to mention it!
After you have chosen an old challenge (or two, or three!), completed your task, and are ready to share- all you have to do is write/share about your experience and label it as your challenge entry.

And Goddess herself for the timing, I read Solasta’s post when I was half asleep, so it was easy to fall into a lucid state and do the magick 
I really appreciate all your love and sweetness, you’re a blessing to this coven too sweetheart 
But that’s half the battle of making the sigil – and the work is already being done.
