We’re already at the 50th challenge? Nice!
I was unsure what to do, since I think I’ve tried just about everything, but after reading through the first post and looking at one of the pictures, I think I will try some Mirror Magick. Not sure what kind of spell I will use the mirrors for yet, but I’ll think of something!
As a Libra I’m horribly indecisive so I’m going to have to think about this one
Hi, @MeganB I hope you are recovering well!
I am going to make up my own small spell jar for happiness, peace, love. I just have to write it out how I’m doing it. I spent all morning deciding on herbs , crystals, incense, candles , & such. I haven’t finished deciding how I am going to put it together or anything, but I know I want to ground myself before doing anything with it. I feel kind of scattered today.
Since I’m having to switch doctors for my leg infection, I think I’ll try to do something healing for myself. Just have to figure out what.
You did a gorgeous job with your Peace, Love, and Calm Spell, @Susurrus- thanks again for sharing it
Thanks, @Rowan! I’m sure you’ll come up with something lovely
Candle wax divination sounds exciting, @MeganB- if that’s what you choose to pursue, then enjoy!
Thanks, @Amaris_Bane- and I know the feeling, there’s so much to pick from! Enjoy your brainstorming, I hope you find an intriguing aspect that draws you in
I know- 50 challenges is a shocker, @Kasandra! Mirror Magick is a wonderful thing to jump into. If you’re looking for some mirror spellwork inspiration, you might explore past threads about mirror work and Books of Mirrors. Have fun!
If you feel that your Libra traits are restraining you, @IrisW, you could always explore those very traits by digging into Libra horoscopes or other astrology!
A healing spell is always helpful- may you find something perfect for you, @Amethyst! Leg infection- be gone!
Thank you sweets! I’m thinking of what I want to do, now that I have a goal in mind to manifest for.
Oooh I like this idea 50th challenge is certainly a milestone so happy to be here sharing it with you all I think I might delve into the tarot for this one,I’ve really connected with the deck I got and I want to learn more looking forward to seeing everyones entries
For this Challenging Challenge, I was challenged by making candles
Steps I used:
Step 1: Measure out how much wax you would need, then double it.
Step 2: Melt the wax. Pour the wax into a double boiler and melt for 10-15 mins, stir frequently.
Step 3: Add fragrance oils. I used lavender and rose essential oils.
Step 4: Attach the wick. Tip- dip the wick in the wax and then quickly sticking it to the bottom of the container.
Step 5: Pour the wax. Before pouring, allow to cool for a few minutes. When the thermometer reads 140°, pour.
Step 6: Secure the wick. Lay 2 chopsticks (in my case, toothpicks) across the top of the container. Allow wax to set for 4 hours at room temperature.
Step 7: Add more wax, if the top has cracks or holes. Simply reheat and add more wax. Let harden.
Step 8: Cut the wick. The candle wick should be less than half an inch long.
Tadaa, you’ve got a candle
Thank you @BryWisteria This really got my creative juices flowing! I’m honored to take part in the 50th challenge!!!
This will be my 1st challenge and i am debating between trying to make a tincture or getting into the tarot deck I got ! either way i will be sure to post my results
@Amethyst I hope you find the perfect thing for healing. I like doing spells & rituals for healing. i always feel better afterward.
@christina4 lovely candles! I would love to make my own, I haven’t done that since I was in Girl Scouts when I was in junior high! We did it with crayons, that much I remember.
@Liisa I hope you & your deck get along great! I have gotten along with my new Tarot & my new Oracle cards wonderfully so far. It’s fun to learn more about them.
@THCLEMONADE have a lot of fun. The challenges are a lot of fun & you learn so much from them.
Thank you @BryWisteria, after I started thinking about what I wanted to put in it, I had to follow through with it.
Wow this is a great challenge thank you!

Thanks for the ideas! I decided to write a Draconic Self-Love Mirror Spell, which I will cast tomorrow since Friday is perfect for such spells.
When I first joined the forum, my focus was improving how I see myself. I have kind of moved away from that and I’d like to get back to doing that, at least once a week.
Thank you, love! I hope I can find the right herbs to use to dress my candle. I’ll have to think on it. Yours was such a nice spell jar, you’ve set a high mark!
Oh goodness! Don’t go by me! Yours will be just as good!
I will say that when I hold my jar it brings a smile to my face. I did some cleaning breaths while holding it today before my appointment.
Oooh this one is going to be super fun! Love how the possibilities are endless
Oh, this is exciting.
I would really like to make a satchel or spell jar as I’ve never done one before.
I am packing up all our belongings to move this week and I’m feeling very strange about packing up all of my Witchy Tools.
What is something I could make and carry with me to bring peace, calm and grounding while we move?
That sounds like a lovely choice, @Liisa- enjoy your time with tarot!
Congrats on your beautiful candles, @Christina4! Wow, they came out lovely- and you used such beautiful crystals in them too! Great job!
All great choices, @THCLEMONADE- whatever you choose to pursue, may you have fun with it!
A Draconic Self-Love Mirror Spell sounds like taking a bunch of great things and putting them together to make something magically amazing, @Kasandra May your beautiful spellwork help you to rekindle the spark of self-love!
Satchels and spell jars are both wonderful magickal tools that you can take with you on the road, @sarah29 You could also make your own sigil to carry with you, wear magickal jewelry (crystals, symbols, etc.), enchant/bless jewelry or another item to carry with you, or practice in your Inner Temple Wishing you a happy and safe move, Sarah!
After last week’s challenge, I became very interested in dragon magic . So I am going to search more deeply about dragon magic this week
Woot, woo 50 challenges! I am so happy to be a part of this challenge! Congratulations, Infinite Roots
I was thinking about making a besom. The reason being I have never made my magical broom before and would like to complete it for my rituals and for cleansing my ritual space. Not to mention this challenge.
Making a besome
I found an iTunes channel that explains how to make it and if you all have any suggestions I am up for them. I have the perfect stick but I don’t know what kinda tree it came from. So here’s a pic and if you think you know what kind of tree it came from that would be great!
