I’m glad that the moon have you some incentive! I really like how the picture shows the altar but also the moon in the background!!! Amazing!! ---

I can’t really tell with the lighting but they look like Pecos crystals. From Pecos mine. They’re small and pretty quartz crystals. But if you take another picture in better light, I could definitely help you out better!! ---

Finally completed my write up on this challenge this morning: > [@My Weekly Witchy Challenge - Deities of the Moon full\_moon](https://forum.spells8.com/t/my-weekly-witchy-challenge-deities-of-the-moon/12128): > > For this [challenge](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-deities-of-the-moon/11981/46) I wanted to work further with Hekate. Whilst she’s traditionally associated with the Dark Moon (New Moon), I nevertheless have felt a strong connection with her that I wanted to explore further and deepen. We’ve had beautiful weather here all week in England with clear skies are perfect views of the Waxing Gibbous Moon. But of course it comes to the Full Moon and surrounding nights, when I’d hoped to carry out a Buck Moon Ritual and Ritual to Hekate outside, and we’re predic… ---

I had some trouble starting my ritual. I had cut the wick too much on my black candle and every time I lit it, the flame would die within seconds! 😭 But I was stubborn and after getting a lot of wax shavings all over my shirt and pants from my cutting the candle, it managed to stay lit! 😁 I sprayed my area with dragon’s blood and did a black candle meditation while holding some black tourmaline before saying Hecate’s Prayer Chant. I poured some moon water into my cauldron, sprinkled some ground sage around the edge and dipped my key necklace in the water. I then said: _O Hecate,_ _Protectress of Witches,_ _Mistress of the Night,_ _and Keeper of Keys,_ _I ask you to bless this necklace._ _Let it serve as a reminder to lock all doors on the painful memories of the past that no longer serve me._ _So it is now,_ _So mote it be._ I let the necklace dry and then wore it for the rest of the night. ---

I am happy to know that everything turned out ok @Kasandra you had me nervous there for a while when you mention your wick of your candle was cut to short 😅. Glad it still pulled through. Loving your Hacate Prayer Chant 🥰 ---

Thank you. I normally have more out but I’m in between living spaces. When I find a place to settle in, I’ll set up a new altar. Simple is perfect for me, though. 🙂 ---

@praecog29 I know you’re anxious to have a bigger space though. That’s how I feel having to downsize mine for the time being. That altar cloth is beautiful. I always start out expecting my altar to be simple but it always winds up kinda busy looking 🤷🏼‍♀️ ---

This week was strangely difficult for me, I’ve been having problems with sleeping too much and wasn’t awake for most of the full moon. Normally I’m more awake. Oh well, that happens. So today I did Artemis’ Gratitude Devotional and it was good. I love Joy’s voice. But that was rather short so I also listened to Diana’s Worship Song, which was beautiful. Really nice and got me choked up. No matter what, the Moon is there watching over me. That’s something nice to think about. ---

@Amethyst I had problems sleeping too much as well. Still kinda having trouble with it. Usually full moons bring out the insomniac in me but not this one. Even my husband thought it strange. Hopefully it’ll level back out soon 🤷🏼‍♀️ ---
