@CelestiaMoon Thank you for sharing this passage from The Play of Awakening- the world of “guilt” goes hand-in-hand with forgiveness work and is a great thing to explore (although very difficult!) on the path towards healing. Thanks for sharing this! 
@Amethyst When things come from the heart, I think the format or details step to the side- the spotlight shines on the raw emotion and powerful truth in the words, exactly as they are! No need at all to rhyme, I wouldn’t change a thing about what you wrote, Amethyst- it is most beautiful in its purity. Thanks once again for sharing such a heartfelt piece 
@RyuWyn Thanks again for sharing such a wonderful suggestion, White Fox! From looking at all of the beautiful entries shared, your theme of forgiveness clearly resonated with the coven 
That is a beautiful action of writing the letter, and even more powerful to decide to give it to her. A forgiveness letter written from the heart is such a meaningful and emotional gift- may your mother acknowledge and respect the strength of her daughter. Great job, White Fox- thank you for sharing this entry! 
@Artemisia I’m glad to hear the challenge theme resonated with you, Katnabis! I agree that both emotional influences and the mental side of spell work can manifest physically (and coincidentally, there’s actually a current discussion about that going on too! Great minds think alike! 
). I think that was both creative and clever of you to combine the forgiveness ritual with elements of cord-cutting: you reflected on your situation and created the best possible way for you to approach it- a round of applause to you! 
The road to healing is both a long one and a personal one. It may take more time, but you took a very big step forward with this ritual. I’m proud of you and I’m cheering you on for the road ahead! Great job and thank you very much for sharing your forgiveness experience
@BrightBear Thank you again for sharing your very powerful forgiveness experience in the other thread, BrightBear! 
@Steph First things first- wishing you a very happy and blessed birthday! 
I know it was mentioned above, but forgiveness really is a great gift to give yourself. Good for you for facing your fears, reaching out to your family, and doing that deep work to find inner acceptance. Your birthday is an auspicious time and I wish you all the best of luck with your work this week- may you become the person you want to be, and find your inner peace and freedom! 
@Jeannie1- That’s lovely Tarot spread, Jeannie- you have a talent for creating them! 
It pairs beautifully with your forgiveness potion charm bag too, what a great combo (and extra thanks for writing the correspondences next to the ingredients- that is really helpful!) May you continue on your path towards balance- thank you for sharing this wonderful challenge entry!
@Eliza_01 That’s a really interesting path to sort the types of forgiveness- I really like how you approached this challenge, Eliza! 
I also think you are very strong to examine resentment and ill will and still hold yourself above it, choosing instead to focus your energy on examining the issue as a whole, from a higher point of view. I agree that forgiveness does not equal forgetting- life is full of experiences (some of which are, unfortunately, horribly brutal and painful) and I believe there is value and growth in holding onto the lessons we’ve learned- even if just to prevent it from ever happening again. Thank you for taking the time on reflect on forgiveness in your practice and for sharing your experience- it was insightful to read!
@MsQ I am so glad you found the challenge theme this week to be helpful! Looking back at past pains and wrongs is a hard thing to do, so I have full respect for your journey examining these relationships in your life. It sounds like you overcame a lot of darkness and were able to discover your beautiful inner light- a huge congrats to you! Thank you for taking the time to embark on forgiveness for the challenge this week, and thank you for sharing your lovely entry!
