Challenge Entry 1 - Deities of the Moon ☽
with the Badge Blessed by the Moon
All my childhood I’ve been dreaming of becoming Moon Princess 
, might have been the influence of Sailor Moon anime that was popular at that time. But years have passed and my love and devotion to the moon as a celestial object has not subsided.
After getting my first computer and access to internet I studied hard - the Greek Mythology, Moon goddesses in other religions and the influence and power of the Moon.
It calls me…
I started worshiping Hecate, because of many symbols I got in my life.
I am relatively new to wicca and paganism, I am not sure it is, specifically, Hecate that protects my dreams and fills me with energy every day. That’s why I am ,overall, a Moon GODDESSES worshiper and have not selected a single Diety, yet, or maybe never will …because…
After reading the Challenge post I realised, I don’t have to… as Moon itself is a Goddess for me.
This week’s offering for my Moon Goddess was watermelon.

Challenge Entry #3
Heed the Call of Crystals
This entry was completely unplanned. My crystals were calling me this morning. I had ordered some crystal confetti a few months ago and have been meaning to look the crystals up that were included, but I never got around to it. With the crystal confetti there are alot of crystal chips, but there are also regular size crystals. I looked up the crystals with an app called Rock Identifier.
The first confetti group is Third Eye and these are the crystals: (I keep these on the nightstand by my bed for prophetic dreaming).
• Fluorite
• Bornite
• Rainbow Hematitie
• Aura Quartz
I put the chips in small bottle and labeled them.
The second confetti group is Abundance. (I keep these on my Lakshmi Altar).
• Green Jasper
• Citrine
• Aura Quartz
• Opalite
The third confetti group is either Fairy Garden or Midnight Garden, I can’t remember which and I didn’t put the tag with it thinking I would remember. I purchase both, but missing one. Hmmm, they may be in the garden out back. Anyway, these are the crystals:
• Clear Quartz
• Black Tourmaline
• Blood stone
• Tigers eye
• Sodalite
• Goldstone
• Black Agate
• Hematite
• Larvikite
• Falcons eye (a type of tigers eye)
• Pyrite
• Rainbow Moonstone

Thank-you @BryWisteria for opening this up! I am learning so much from everyone’s entries! 
This is sooo close to home for me! I inherited my Grandma’s button boxes -we used to spend hours stringing them and unstringing them on rainy days -I 100% will now choose from them for different witchy purposes -they are so imbued with generations of childhood memories!
I have to wonder if in some ways this type of intuitive work is actually MORE powerful than other ways of working -but so difficult to do without the right energy -and helper!
I love the images of these skulls in the rain -so beautiful!
Omg! What a great idea! I am going to check out @silverbear’s instructions and do this.
I love your beautiful wand -I had one that didn’t feel natural to me that I made, so I have also been using my finger -glad I am not alone there 
Same! I enjoyed learning about these -thank-you!
I have this problem as well -I attended a guided past life regression session at my local witchy store, and found it far easier in that setting. I had some similar experiences to you -I learned most of my past lives involved running for my life.

Loki is the best helper you can get. My chaos magic has come alive since I’ve started working with him. You don’t have to take him as your deity, but I’m sure if you asked him to help he would. He’s not nearly as scary as some say, just be prepared for the unexpected that’s all. 
Oh and as a thankyou, he likes good coffee and whiskey/brandy.

Weekly Witchy Challenge - Sounds of Magick - ENTRY
Sounds and Magick are a very interesting topic to me as of late but… as a little girl I would hear different sounds that I should not be able to hear. For example, when I was about 4 years old, I would hear voices in fans. The fan in my bedroom window, the car, in a store and so on. I could never hear enough to understand what was being said. This, at the age of 60, still happens to me. An apartment I was living in, I would constantly hear someone, or something call my name. In the same place, I saw a Jin at the end of my bed. At a different place I lived I would hear music/party no one was there but me. This house was built in the late 1800’s and was creepy. It has servant’s quarters with a back stairway. My room was off those stairs. I heard footsteps in the room next to me, so I called my husband (almost) to come over but of course the footsteps stopped. The next night was a whole different story. He heard them too and called everyone home (5 of us). Every night we would have a house alert. This was a search from attic to basement with fully automatic weapons. They could not comprehend ghosts or demons (I think they might have been Demons themselves). Anyway, sounds with witchcraft sounded like a fascinating topic to me. I started researching and this is what I found:
"Everything, every single thing in this universe vibrates at a certain frequency, from every atom in every blade of grass on Earth through to every planet and star in the sky. It’s all formed and maintained by electromagnetic energy. This is the very same energy we seek to tap into for Crafting. Even words themselves have frequencies when spoken, as do herbs, foods, spices, colors, candles, cards, etc. etc. etc. In my opinion, the best way to raise your vibration is via entrainment. This is the energy work I’m doing with frequency healing. By use of crystal singing bowls, Solfeggio tuning forks, and Solfeggio frequencies through headphones, I’ve managed to heal not only my body, but also my mind and my ethereal other self. And my power has increased. "
Hanging a bell by your front door helps raise vibrations through sound. This simple spell will help to keep negativity and spirits that mean you harm, away from your home and family. The following incantation will help activate or enchant your bells:
-
- “Guard our Home, Bell on the Door, let Evil Spirits come no More.
-
- Evil Spells shall Not be Cast, and Good Fortune shall Ever Last.
-
- So Mote it Be!”
Witches love to hang little bells from their doorknobs to scare away unwanted spirits. You can hang three little bells from your doorknob and chanting the following spell three times: (Spells8, Francisco Huanaco, August 18, 2023)
“Guard my Home, Bells on the Door, Let Only Blessings walk on this Floor,
Block all Evil and the Dark Arts, May only Good Approach our Hearts.”
What is the Meaning of Breaking a Plate?
Breaking a plate is considered to bring good luck or ward off evil spirits. It’s believed that the act of shattering something symbolizes the breaking of negative energy or bad luck in your life. The negative energy is believed to be released by shattering something, and then the positive energy can flow in. So, if you find yourself accidentally smashing a plate, take it as a sign that things are about to turn around for the better! (Spells8, Huanaco, August 18, 2023)
The term “sounds magical” can have different meanings. In the context of the Japanese word “Kotodama”, it refers to the belief that sounds can magically affect objects, and that ritual word usages can influence our environment, body, mind, and soul. English translations of “Kotodama” include “soul of language”, “spirit of language”, “power of language”, “power word”, “magic word”, and “sacred sound”. In another context, “sounds magical” can refer to something that has seemingly supernatural qualities or powers. (2023, April 28 Kotodama. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.)
I would have never thought there was so many ways to use sounds with WitchCraft, Spells, Potions, and etc… In this entry, I have only touch a small potion of ways to use Sounds with Magick, here are some examples of Ambient Music to invoke at your next ritual: (Otherworldly Oracle, January 26, 2019)
⦁ Celtic flutes
⦁ Native American flutes
⦁ Shamanic drumming
⦁ Tibetan singing bowls
⦁ Harp
⦁ Gregorian chants
⦁ Chakra tones
