This was an easy peasy lemon squeezey challenge for me. Being an artist I have repurposed or made almost everything in my sacred space. And the hardest part of this challenge was deciding which items to showcase for it but I picked a few of my favorites. ![IMG_20211020_075910697](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/2/2762abecdf630d302da86c78d05ee10841304b1b.jpeg) First I’ll start with these 2.i got both of these little cement figures from [The crystal council](https://thecrystalcouncil.com/shop). One obviously is my figurine of Lord Ganesha (whom I will work with later this evening after work 😁) and the other is a little worry stone type talisman both of which I consecrated using the [Spells8 cast along video](https://spells8.com/charge-activate-talisman-amulet/) and the talisman was set with the intention of gaining strength as I grow into a more adept witch. Lord Ganesha just sits pretty candle stand where I light the Masculine candle because, well, he knows what he is doing. 🤣 Next I have my trinket boxes that I painted and decoupaged (@Susurrus here they are so you get a chance to see them 😁) ![IMG_20211020_080959617](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/e/e4179a36ba99f8d099ef4b9784c3ec6ddcf6fcd3.jpeg) This box holds all of my candles that aren’t in glass holders ![IMG_20211020_080935092](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/5/5cb42718b1029b8604911848208fd1d5fa0d5d00.jpeg) This is my spell box where I keep petitions, poppets, and any spell spells that are meant to be kept undisturbed Both of which I cleansed with Palo Santo and used the [Spells8 spell for consecrating tools](https://spells8.com/tool-consecration-ritual/) and of course I added sea salt and clear quartz to both boxes before putting anything inside them. I also prayed the following over both boxes before putting anything in them just to protect the items inside: “negative energy may not stay I release it and send it on it’s way. Negative energy I banish thee. This is my word So mote it be!” Lastly I have my black scrying mirror that I made and consecrated using the same spell for tools ![IMG_20211020_081102770](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/d/df1baa62868dc8e35191c6309547ed5027edc4f8.jpeg) ---

Already know what to do! 😁 I found my old The Vampire Diaries necklace. For those of you who’ve watched the show, Elena wore an old locket filled with vervain that prevented her from being compelled by vampires. I’ll probably have to buy a new necklace from Amazon since my old one is at least 12 years old and has tarnished a lot. The newer ones don’t have any vervain in them though, but I figured, I could use other herbs like sage or rosemary. ---

Those boxes are lovely! I have 2 boxes on my altar. 1 has the Tree of Life carved into it & holds my witchy crystal soaps. The other holds things like candles that I can reuse the wax for or finish with another daily candle 🕯 or meditation 🧘‍♀️ … really depends on what I used it for in the first place & if I carved or dressed them. Great job on them! I really like them. Great job on the cement stones too! ❤ ---

I made my first talisman using copper wire wrap watching DIY videos on YouTube, because I believe a lot of what we can do with Witchcraft are self made items instead of store bought on many occasions, and as much as I can. Such as candles, oils, herbs, etc. Anyway, with last night’s Full Moon, I brought out this wrapped Rose Quartz which I have made (I have big fingers, so I’m happy for my first attempt that it looks nice like this, but will only get better as I practice) for my mother for Beltane which is coming up in the Southern Hemisphere. I meditated using the group ritual during this time as well and put intentions into this crystal to give my mother love and to assist with her anxiety during these tough times. ![IMG_1634770217716](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/e/e675979f11c67c1f1dc1d0064eff9472eaef8007.jpeg) Tem ---

Great job @Temujin_Calidius! I have wire wrapped a few things also! Mostly Agate slices & a Tigers Eye cabochon. It looks lovely! 💕 I just got my items, crystals, decks, & jewelry out on my back porch for our full moon. Along with my Quartz charged Moon Water, oils, sprays, elixirs, whatever hasn’t been out since June or before 😆 My husband set up the table & helped me bring them all out there when her got home from work. The Full Moon is just coming up here. It’s a gorgeous night & the moon isn’t hiding! 🌕 ---

Hooray! Looking forward to seeing what you’ll make this week @Christina4- have fun! 😊 Ohhh that sounds lovely- and perfect timing with the necklace, @Susurrus! Do you know what properties you’d like to enchant it with yet? Protection, health, or maybe something else? Can’t wait to hear about it! 🥰 Nice, @Amethyst! That’s perfect timing too- wishing you all the best with consecrating your lovely new witch’s bells 🔔 💞 You have so many lovely treasures, @phoenix_dawn- and those are gorgeous talismans! I love the care and intent that went into your boxes too- such a lovely blessing ❤ Thanks for sharing! Wow, 12 years is impressive, @Kasandra! I am sure your new one will be lovely too, but I’d suggest keeping the old one as well. After all that time nearby, I imagine it’s become really in tune with your energy 💖 The rose quartz wrap turned out beautiful, @Temujin_Calidius- great job! It is a very heartfelt and powerful gift, I’m sure your mother will enjoy it 😊 That’s such a beautiful skull decoration, @Jeannie1- I think it’s perfect for the upcoming [Day of the Dead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead) (November 2nd)! 💀 🌺 Beautiful work with Hecate and Persephone, and thanks for sharing the lovely chant as well. Great job! ❤ ---

I consecrated a few amulets. Theyre all from my grandmother. Well, the four leaf clover and butterfly belonged to her and the rose I saved from a jewelry box that broke that she gifted me. I knew it had a purpose all those years ago! ![IMG_20211021_044854](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/5/57c318da922b33a155d38e848ae87fe2107a4c51.jpeg) ![IMG_20211021_044816](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/9/9fa8a5caa24d4a73f90b0a1ba8d9ea9f19c5c38b.jpeg) I used the Spells8 consecration ritual. ✨Thank you for the chance to get more aquainted with my grandmother!
