Merry meet and merry greet to all!
Thank you once again to those who joined in for last week’s Weekly Witchy Challenge- Of the Element Fire 
After letting our magick burn brightly in fiery ways, the element challenges continue by digging in deep.
The theme for this week’s challenge is…
Of the Element Earth 
The elements can be discovered in just about every aspect of our lives. After exploring water and air , and fire- we are becoming grounded in the element beneath our feet.
By examining and incorporating the steady and foundational qualities of earth, we can enhance our magick in earthen ways 
This week’s challenge is all exploring the benefits and uses of the element earth.
Are you ready? It’s… CHALLENGE TIME!

, and Capricorn 
. My oldest son is a Taurus and we get along alright. So learning the Earth Elements and how they relate to my birth chart has been fun too. I printed a copy of my birth chart & I want to do a relationship chart for me & my significant other, I think it would be fun.
