Woohoo! Time to bust out some challenges!
Challenge Entry One:
Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Visualizations
I decided to do this a sort of different way! I’ve been working on my Inner Temple, and rather than describe it, I decided to create it in The Sims 4 and show you all! Granted, it isn’t exactly how I have it in my mind because The Sims 4 can only do so much, but it’s pretty spot on! Here are some screenshots.
It’s pretty much a circle of oak trees, a stone altar with candles, a pond, etc. all in the middle of the forest. That’s exactly how I have it in my mind sometimes. Seeing it in the game helps me visualize it better and bring it to life!
Challenge Entry Two:
Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - The Magick of Sound
I don’t use sound during my spellwork (usually) but I do use sound, music especially, during my cleansing rituals or throughout the day. Sound has always been a coping mechanism for me, especially when things get loud or overwhelming (in both a physical and emotional sense). One of my favorite songs to cleanse to is actually Castle of Glass by Linkin Park
Especially these lyrics right here.
Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again
Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova’s glow
And drop me down to the dream below
I use a lot of modern music for things like this. It’s just what fits - plus, it really helps when I can sing along and feel the emotion and energy behind the song.
Challenge Entry Three:
Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Making Objects Magickal
For my last challenge, I wanted to show you a design I just finished for my shop. It’s a pentacle wall decoration on an 8-inch hoop! It’s the first time I’ve ever added beads to my work, but it’s also a new venture for me because of crocheting around the hoop. I’ve done some things like this recently, but I’m finding such a love for crocheting on these hoops and having the ability to hang them on the wall!
This one is up in my shop, but I’m going to make another one for our house and imbue it with protective energies. I might make it black… but I was also thinking of getting some rainbow yarn to have more color!
