@kimberly57 since this is your first challenge, rememberā¦ your entry can be however you approach the challenge! With that being said, you have created an oil 
but aside from that, from reading otherās experiences, you have learned at least a couple of things to take with you moving forward when making oils or other mixes, whether they are inks or any type of oils. So thatās great too!
@Amaris_Bane I have been doing the same thing to be able to not use commercial Rx whether it be for physical or mental health. I have quite the coping toolbox now! 
I do suffer from severe chronic migraines, & can completely understand wanting to relieve a headache before it turns to a migraine. Due to the amount of them that I was having, I currently have treatments every 12 weeks that have been amazing! 
but I do like to use other remedies when I know or feel a headacheā¦ you never know when those are going to be something much worse sometimes. Those are also some great recipes, I will have to jot those down in my little book of witchy awesomeness 
@Kasandra I love the blessing oil & agree that the Dragonās Bloodā¦ a little goes a long way. I actually have the Dragonās Blood EO & Dragonās Blood supplement. Although I canāt remember how much of that you use when ingestingā¦ I will have to look at that one again. I thought it was interesting that it came in a supplement, EO, resinā¦ so versatile. I have another one to add to my witchy book of awesomeness! Thank you so much!
@Ostaraā¦ I saw your entry yesterday & then went to check the mailā¦ my Tamed Wild box was here & I opened it all excitedā¦ then rememberedā¦ I have never used this type of pen or inkā¦ so I am going to give that a go later today & I will let you know how it goes. I have written with calligraphy pens, it was a class in high school that I took & I loved it. Iāve been thinking of getting another set or even just 1 really, to work on writing in calligraphy again. But if this pen I received works outā¦ maybe I could do my witchy book over with that 
I love these challenges for the sparks of inspiration & the ways that everyone approaches them
@mary25, using a feather as a quill pen, I love that you thought to do that for this challenge & that you were able to make your own ink! Iām going to have to see what I have for feathers & maybe try doing the same & alternate between the glass pen & the feather quill! Again thank you for some lovely inspiration!
@MeganB great idea, Iāll have to go see whatās around my area. I mean, I have an idea but have never really looked into it to really connect with the land, minus collecting things from the different beaches & coastlines.
@Mistress_Of_Herbs speaking of poultices, I have heard about using Spanish Moss in them but until just now, I never really knew what it was good forā¦ I do have a poultice blend. But Iām never really sure how to use it because even though I have the blend, Iām just unsureā¦ then I get all in my head & wellā¦ that goes to the back of the recesses of my brain because I get nervous I guess about the ānewā part of it. 
Back to needing to get out of my head 
@CelestiaMoon first, I completely agree when inspiration hits, thatās the time to use it Iāve had more than a couple of middle-of-the-night inspirations myself. I love that you were able to make an ink AND be such a thrifty witch to use a toothpick when a quill wasnāt available for you 
Iāll be back later today with my own entry. Iām trying to think of what it is exactly that I want to writeā¦ back in my head & overthinkingā¦ itās just something I do
You definitely need that sleep - itās important! May the spray and writing continue to work well for you in the future!
I also remember making invisible ink with lemon juice when I was a kid. I need to show this to my own kiddo lol thank you for sharing!
I love it! I havenāt made the home blessing oil yet, but I do plan on it in the future. Iām glad to know it works well for you and others. I think it would even be a great housewarming gift!
It makes me glad I homeschool my own kiddo and now parent-teacher conferences are just me talking to myself! 
In any case, I love your quill pen and your handwriting looks perfectly fine!
Your chant is inspiring, too. Persephone has always been a deity of interest for me. I love her stories so much! 
This is fun~
