Seasons’ greetings to all! 
Bravo once again to the spirited souls who soared in last week’s Weekly Witchy Challenge - Of the Element Air 
The elemental challenges will continue after a quick half-time break to celebrate the joys of the coming Sabbats.
The seasonal theme for this week’s challenge is…
From Seed to Sprout - Celebrating the Season 
Next week marks an important notch in the Wheel of the Year:
-
Those in the Northern Hemisphere will celebrate Imbolc - a holiday marking new beginnings and the first signs of spring’s greenery
-
Those in the Southern Hemisphere will celebrate Lammas - a holiday of the harvest, marking the end of summer’s fruitful growth
Whether you are in the North and are welcoming back the green of the world, or in the South and reaping the benefits of the harvest- now is a time to enjoy, give thanks, and work in harmony with nature’s changes 
.
This challenge is all about exploring and celebrating the season!

Cinnamon apples are my topping of choice- no fresh blackberries could be found in the store.
