šŸ‚ Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Magick for the Season

Hi Silver Bear
I am really excited to do this ritual. I have been really busy making a headdress with antlers. :deer:

I have been thinking about going out far and wide to a Secluded forest :deciduous_tree: and being a bit enchanted with my antlers! I want to feel the energy and be one with nature. I think since this ties in so weā€™ll I am going to try both of your rituals! Thank you, I just appreciate your videos and thank you for sharing your love and magic!

Iā€™m pretty impressed that I got it done before this message :face_with_hand_over_mouth: lately itā€™s been Tuesday morning or later tonight before I have done my entry.

Everyoneā€™s entries are great for this time of year & I have loved reading through them all. :heart:

There is actually a difference here:

If you highlight the words & click on the ā€œBā€ on the tool bar (or you can add ** before the first letter & add ** following the last letter of the word or sentenceā€¦ it will make it just Bold but the same size.

When you type the ## then a space & the words, it makes the text larger & bold. If you type ### then a space, it will make the words a little bit larger & bold:

I use the largest option for the first line or topic header, date, & then ### when itā€™s a different section of what Iā€™m preparing.

Most of the time itā€™s more noticeable in Tending Brighidā€™s Flame or the October, November, December Single Draws 2022

**Black Salt for Samhain (with Draconic Prayer for Protection) **

You will need:
A jar
A fireproof cauldron or container
Handful of bay leaf
Sea salt (approximately two tablespoons)
Matches
Black Candle

  1. A week or two before Samhain, light a black candle on your altar.

  2. Pour two tablespoons of sea salt into a jar.

  3. Put a handful of bay leaf into a fireproof cauldron or container and light them.

  4. As the bay leaf burns, say:
    Faal Ahvos griindol drehlaan (The harvest is almost done)
    Benix Yolos do viir Krein (Amongst the flames of the dying sun)
    Zuā€™u ag daar Arvus (I burn this laurel)
    Prudaav ahrk voth Sahvot (Faithful and formal)
    Yolos prahk (Flame purify)
    Spaal voth Yol (Shield by fire)

  5. Pour the ashes into the jar and mix them together with the salt, giving it a black color.

  6. Use the salt anytime between Samhain and Yule for spiritual protection during the darker half of the year.

  7. When you use the salt, you can say:
    Kii jaaril zuā€™u (Ashes of protection)
    Ilos zuā€™u nol Vokul (Conceal me from evilā€™s detection)
    Aak zuā€™u zeim zuk vul hef do Eruvos (Guide me through the darker half of the year)
    Ko krah Vulom do Felniir, daar nid zuā€™u faas (In the cold winter night, there is nothing to fear)
    Voth enook Sul, OrkiindahseDovah Rah bo lovun(With each day, the Dragon Godā€™s rebirth draws near)

I am so sorry I think I said in a earlier I a post I was making a headdress and well itā€™s not quite done but for the purpose of knowing I am participating in this challenge I thought I would let you all see how hard I have been working towards Samhain! This is my antlers that are almost done I still need to use the sculpting bandage and paint them

I had a hard time with the antlers falling down but they are up cause I used lots of copper wire!
I am sorry itā€™s not done but I just wanted to share my journey with you all!

Well SpanishWitchy,
I am trying to be close to nature and I made a mask as well! I think Iā€™ll just go out into nature and see what I find and be mystical and magical! I
Thank you I love mother Gaia that explains all my plants and my herb garden :potted_plant:
Itā€™s really a offering to Hecate cause she is a filth eater and she will eat the miasma! Anything that is unclean!
Wait till itā€™s done! I shouldā€™ve had my package from Walmart so I can use my puffy paint and my other things I ordered and Iā€™m still waiting on it so I need some witchcraft for that!
I needed to have some more of a protective shield :shield: for this crazy mess in my life!
Thanks :blush: for your love and thank you !

Jeannie these are AMAZING!!! :heart_eyes:

I tried to make a pair of antlers to wear to a Renaissance Faire a long time ago and I remember it was really tough to get them to stay standing and balanced- the wire and using very lightweight sculpting clay really helps! Youā€™re doing so great with yours- they look really impressive! :clap::sparkles:

Thank you so much for sharing them- I canā€™t wait to see the final product! :star_struck:

Blessed be and happy crafting!

I learned some very cool things on you Challenge. Something I noticed about me is, anything that horns that normally do not belong on, scares me to death! I was watching a movie and this ā€œMotherā€ was a large ā€œthingā€ with horns and the guy in front of it was apologizing for some mistake and it grabbed the guy, pulled him inside under its sheet or whatever it was and all you heard was a lot of commotion then it spit out its bonesā€¦yuk.
Anyway, on a more positive noteā€¦great challenge, I enjoyed reading it.

Blessed Be,
Medea

Thank you for reading my post :smile: That sounds like a very interesting movie. And I completely understand how that can be scary. Sounds almost like that guy ran into some dark feminine energy who wasnā€™t having it lol.
