šŸŒ Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Strength of the Full Moon

Thank you! I got it off Amazon so you might be able to pick it too!

Thanks, @Rowan! I was originally going to get a picture but it was like, sixty bucks. Iā€™m glad I got this instead!

Sounds like you did a great job @Jewitch! The suggestions are just that, suggestions. When you do something like that for yourself, you make it special and unique to only you! Glad you got up the courage to do it!

Iā€™d like to point out something I think is quite important but it may be a thought anomaly~if youā€™re not ā€œfeelingā€ it on the nite of whichever moon (for example toniteā€™s worm moon) you donā€™t HAVE to perform your spellsā€¦ you donā€™t want to bring your low juju to the party as itā€™ll inevitably infuse said spells with unintended emotions. Which can be quite confusing to the universe as it likes specificity. So if your head or heart arenā€™t meeting up save it for when you ARE feeling ā€œitā€ and call in the power of the full moon and her glory. Call in the goddess of the said moons or however you see her and so mote it shall be :black_heart:

Also on that note Iā€™m doing a hair growing spell working with the God Anubis (Anpu) where Iā€™ll require a few strands of my hair and five rose petals and then under the power of the full moon tonite Iā€™ll invoke his spirit and beg for his blessings and help in making my hair grow long. Iā€™ll light a white dressed candle, recite a prayer and then release the hair and rose petals to the winds. Iā€™ll be using a small birthday candle so I can be sure to let ir go out on itā€™s own! Super excited!

My Weekly Witchy Challenge- Strength of the Full Moon
Today started off in a good slow easy way. Coffee was perfect this morning, chores were light, house was calm, and I had enough time to just dedicate today to myself and the lovely lady moon. I cleansed all my crystals/stones with my Selenite wand, cleaned up my altar, and printed all the papers and grid for the Worm Moon Ritual.
After I started dinner, I turned to the Moon Oracle cards and lit my tiki torches out back.
It was just after sunset when I gathered my water for the moon to soak with its wisdom and beauty and placed it out front on the porch.
Dinner turned out good and we all ate at the table tonightā€¦usually we spread out and do our own thing. But tonight, I turned on a moon/ocean video to enjoy while we ate dinner.
I took a shower with this new Sea Salt soap by Olay (its awesome btw).
I had to clear a space on my altar for the grid, I think I need a bigger tableā€¦ :rofl:
But it turned out great and I went through the ritual with a grateful heart for all I have learned, an open mind for all I have yet to learn, and a determined demeanor for my goals.
After doing the grid I put some Spearmint in my diffuser and I did the guided meditation. Each time ā€œpastā€ was mentioned I would see images of a black box outlined in blue, not sure what, if anything that means but I made a note of it in my Book of Mirrors because it just felt significant in some way.
I havenā€™t seen our glorious moon tonight due to rain and clouds, but I feel her presence and tonight just feels good!
I like the feeling of things coming to an end and the excitement of new beginnings and that is the energy tonight.
Blessed Be Witches!
Merry Worm Moon!

Unfortunately, I canā€™t see the Full Worm Moon because itā€™s windy, cloudy and rainy tonight.

Yuck!:persevere:

I had to cleanse myself and my space beforehand because my sister brought a cloud of negativity when she came to visit this weekend. Letā€™s just say, sheā€™s not a very supportive person and tends to find fault with me onā€¦ a lot (and she wonders why I donā€™t talk to her that much).

Today, she upset me when she said that I shouldnā€™t be caring so much for my cat because itā€™s just ā€œa stupid animalā€.

Um, excuse me, my cat gives me unconditional love. Sheā€™s not ā€œa stupid animalā€ to me. Maybe the reason she doesnā€™t like my sister that much because she sense the negative energies surrounding her.

Anyway, I altered the Full Worm Moon ritual to call on the Elemental Dragons. Iā€™ve set a goal to drink less soda and to make more progress on writing my first novel.

I then cast the Cord Cutting Spell, as suggested by @BryWisteria in order to achieve these goals (choose tea or flavored water instead and to stop procrastinating my evening writing session).

I then said a prayer for my sister to become more empathetic and less judgmental towards me.

Have a blessed Full Worm Moon, Infinite Roots! :full_moon_with_face:

Yuck! I had two of those sisters! Nothing could be mended in those relationships unless I wanted to be the one to conform to change. Change is nothing I fear but I prefer to change in my own way not forced by others. So I send much support to you in the situation. Maybe your sister is jelly of your fur baby??? :rofl:
We also are alike in the sense of writing, I am or have been in the process of writing my first novel as well, but I am at the moment at an impasse, hopefully Ill get past soon.
Blessed Worm Moon to you as well,

So for my intention I want to generate ambition in my life. Fight negative self talk and be a happy living being. I also want to stay grounded and do self-care the main thing is to love myself.
I turned to the goddess oracle deck and books set by Amie Sophiaā€™s MARASHINSKY and illustrated by HRANA Janto.

There was a poem and a mythology and the meaning of the card and some ritual suggestions for Hecateā€™s journey of perspective and this help me because then I decided to go deeper and learned all about Hecates correspondences. I am glad to learn more about her she keeps coming up.com, and thought about kristamoon and how she said she likes sunflower :sunflower: oil. Thank You for that.
Here is a list of Hecate Herbs By Cunninghamā€™s encyclopedia of magical herbs. Berry Witches Berry It ruled by Saturn and the element is water and for the ritual used to aid her in worshiping.

Cyclamen-Planet Venus element water deity Hecate powers fertility protection happiness list helps protect the sleeper and no obnoxious spells that can have an effect on one. It is also said to remove grief from the heart.

Dandelion masculine planet Jupiter element air Hecate powers divination wishes calling spirits.

:garlic: Garlic Gender masculine planet mars element fire Didi Hecate powers protection healing exorcism lust anti-theft ritual uses garlic was eaten on a festival days to Hecate and was left at the cross roads as a sacrifice in her name. It is said to be extremely protective. When evil spirits are about bite into garlic to send them away or sprinkle powdered garlic on the floor.
Hecate-hemlock gender feminine planet Saturn element water magical uses another poisonous plant hemlock was once used in a magic to induce astral projection and in spells to destroy sexual drives. Itā€™s juice was rubbed onto magical knives and swords to empower and purify them before use.
Mandrake-poison gender masculine planet mercury element fire powers protection fertility money love and health magical uses house protection fertility and prosperity when there is mandrake demons cannot reside in so the route is used in an exorcism to activate a droid mandrake root to bring its powers out of hibernation place it in some prominent Location in the house and leave it there undisturbed for 3 Days Then put it in a warm water and leave overnight afterwards the route is activated and may be used in any magical practice the water in which the route has bathed can be sprinkled at the windows and doors of the house to protect it onto people to purify them the mandrake has also long served as a puppet in image magic but itā€™s extreme scarcity and high cost usually forces the magician and the witch to look for substitutes ash roots Apple.
There are like four more but thatā€™s what I found.
For the cross roads I asked Hecate to help me make a decision inspire me to drop all my bad habits.
I used these stones
Turquoise for health and well-being. To promote happiness!
Goldstone- Ensures a good future and being realistic ambition stone which was perfect for my intention.
Obsidian Hecate stone sulfur flexion protection growth the good the ugly and the bad. I accept myself but always want to do better I see my negative patterns in my life but I just have a hard time with commitment.
Onyx- Let it all go protection, release, calm
Tourmaline- Gives me strength from feeling drained. Helps with my self sabotage mode helps me to remove energy that is negative and helps me recharge myself.
I also use pussy willow because I know Hecate likes pussy willow I know itā€™s good for divination purposes. I will charge my full moon oil and decided to go with the triple moon for my lucky charm. I also took a bath :bathtub: and used Relax Witch! :bath:

Blessed be

Tamera,
I think your alter looks great not only that your writing is getting much better! I donā€™t know if you been doing your journal entries every day or what but I am seeing a lot of change in your writing lately. Being able to express your self is so important and I think you have a lovely talent for that. I mean I think you may not see it but I see so much growth in your craft. I just wanted you to know that!

I was listening to this guy I think you might be interested because I have always wanted to channel energy and didnā€™t know exactly how to do it. This would be something I am going to do soon hereā€™s a little video if you like to check it out. [Witch in the workings invocations ] (https://youtu.be/tDqr3Mj9Uv8)
Blessed be!:sparkles:

For the first time since moving here, we had some clear skies and I was finally able to catch the Full Moon from the apartment window! :star_struck:

My partner and I sat and watched it for a long while. I only realized this morning that I forgot to snap a picture of it! Oh well, the city lights make it tough to catch the moonā€™s beauty anyways :sweat_smile: :city_sunset:

Despite feeling a bit of Moon Exhuastion, I decided to set out some Moon Water before I went to bed last night. I could have sworn I had a nice little container with a cork, but alas- it was nowhere to be found :woman_shrugging: Luckily Iā€™m planning to have a nice Full Moon bath soak with this water this evening, so it wonā€™t have to wait open on the altar for long :grin::bathtub:

I have this big circle mirror that I decided on a whim to place behind the moon water last night. With minimal direct light, I imagined the mirror would help to capture the moonā€™s glow and focus it into the moon water. Weā€™ll see if this batch turns out stronger than previous batches! :grin:

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, a delightful Full Moon, and that the coven is doing well!

Blessed be! :full_moon_with_face: :sparkles:

I did an Aries Super Moon tarot spread from Zenned Out and with the deck, Native American Oracle Cards:

Then I inscribed Iā€™m a fierce warrior and used my warrior goddess oil and light a red candle to represent the warrior in me. And I journaled about why Iā€™m a warrior and how that became. I then wrote my intent and burnt it to send it out into the universe.

I actually used the moon on Saturday night to cleanse and charge my crystals & to make moon water because the weather here wasnā€™t going to be good for Sunday night. So I made moon water & cleansed/charged my crystals on Saturday night then on Sunday night I made it an evening. We can see the moon starting around 7pm in my backyard & it lights up around the house. I did a resurrection ritual with a Rose of Jericho & an Agate egg. I put water and springtime flowers/herbs in a larger bowl. I put the Rose of Jericho in a pie pan. After I bathed the agate egg & massaged the egg with the intent of shedding that which doesnā€™t serve me any more & setting my intent for friendship & love to come surround me I used a couple of cups of the bathwater & put it into the pie pan to encourage the Rose of Jericho to open. As it was sitting in the water I thought about what it was that I wanted to bring to the new season & what I wanted in my life. I dried off my egg & placed it on my altar then put the rest of that water into a sealed jar to keep feeding the Rose of Jericho over the next week or so. Then it gets a day of rest from water next Sunday.

So I did something a bit different than Iā€™d intended but the timing and everything was just so right I couldnā€™t ignore the signs!
I seem to have no luck with hair growth~I mean I feel Iā€™ve been trying to grow it long for decades and itā€™s barely at my shoulders. So I thought why not cast a spell.
When I did a little research i was led to the God Anubis (or Anpu) and how working with him on a full moon with the following ingredients (some of my hair, five red rose petals and an envelope with intention inscribed)
Under the moon I go, relaxing mind and meditating till reaching desired state.
I then call upon the powerful God Anubis, Anpu with a prayer to action (itā€™s quite long but to sum it up Iā€™m basically asking for forgiveness for breaking spirit alignment which is responsible for my hair not growing and begging he helps with the promise to conserve my energies and love myself~to call in the right combinations that are attracted to me and above all make my hair grow vigorously)
As I complete the last sentence I remove the petals and hair and release them into the nite wind.
I then thank the gods, (moon et all) and leave my offerings for Anubis (dark rye bread and a dog toy)
At my altar I light a white candle and burn the envelope while mediating on my long locks.
And so mote it shall be
:black_heart:
