Challenge Entry
I had all intents on doing something new for this challenge but on Saturday i found out that one of the leopards that I work with, passed away overnight. Ramsey was the goodest, goofinest, bestest leopard and I’m heartbroken at his passing 
.
That knocked the wind out of my sails a bit and i admit I’m rather “phoning this in”
I chose to share photos of my space to share my variety of practice.
My interests and practice vary from reading Tarot, oracle & Lenormand, growing house plants & herbs, being a devotee of Artemis, being in the service of cats both at home & work, following the moon’s cycles and being ever fascinated, ever in awe of nature both big and small.
My bookcase with the majority of my supplies for my practice along with staues of Isis, Ganesh, Buddha and a New Mexican Indian idol.
My newest shelf has my tarot, oracle and Lenormand decks, my herbalism and herbal magic books, my altar to Diana (though a few pieces are missing as they are on the windowsill to charge in the moonlight), and my new ancestor altar.
My altar cloths live in one of the cat baskets in the bottom of the shelves.

Philosophies: “Live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.” -Captain Picard
Heritage and Family: I have a lot of English and Irish ancestry and I feel drawn to Celtic dieties, customs, artwork, etc. I tend to avoid practices outside of my heritage.
Locations and Local Traditions/Culture: I do my best to practice with my local habitat in mind. I plant non invasive species and source as locally as possible.
Deities - I feel drawn to Celtic deities and recently realized there have been signs of their presence much longer than I realized. I named my firstborn what I didn’t realize was the tree month I was born in, and also a tree associated with Brigid. I wanted to name my second another tree associated with Brigid but was talked out of it and chose a flower instead. In my readings this flower has also been associated with Brigid. I also constantly find clovers - 4, 5, sometimes 6 leaves. When I was questioning worshiping Brigid alongside Aine (I started to work with Aine before making these connections about Brigid) I was met with two swans swimming together peacefully which I took as a positive sign.
Elements: I enjoy working with the elements. I have jars representing each and often invoke them when I cast my circle. Recently my Earth jar fell on its own on two separate days. Then it moved back further away from the edge then I had placed it. I got the memo and stopped procrastinating sowing my indoor seeds and finalizing my garden bed layout.
Favorite Areas of Magick: Divination (Tarot, Oracle, crystal ball scrying) and anything to do with plants (healing recipes, salves, offerings to deities, etc)
I aligned with the Hindu religion

so I could be a product of change! I look to the cards they are a source of therapy for me so I can dive into a deeper understanding of self and interpret my thoughts and feelings and emotions!
out for a walk a lot I like to be in nature, and I am attending rituals 
metaphysical stores and I try to have fun in the garden. I just planted some Yarrow and I went to the dollar store and got many different 
vegetables for my flowerbeds. I like to go to pagan festivals or music 
festivals and I also like to go to the local 
farmers market and support the vendors I live in Citrus Heights, and I like focusing on rebirth in the cycles of new beginnings. Happy Full Moon

with my other friends and family here on Infinite Roots! Love 
Hope you get better and better each passing day Donut! 
and I would be a cat I think I have cat eyes! Cute cat! Meow 
I love cats !
and in nature things happen in cycles, that’s what my heart’s always told me. And that love is gentle and shares its power, and never acts through fear and intimidation.
Sending you warm hugs… I love everything that you’re doing for the kitties, big and small 
but also in the galaxy that is the coven! 
Great job to all entrants- thank you so much for joining in the challenge! 
looks amazing! I am so very sorry for your loss, dear 
and lots of love 
I’ve read through them all, and I love every one of them. We have so many talented witches and magickal people here that I’m always amazed at the challenge entries. You all rock! 
back when I was a teen – in my depressed before being diagnosed era – I used RhymeZone to help me with my poetry a lot. I wish I still had some of those poems, but they were probably very dark 
Your chants and poems at the end of these challenges always make me smile and feel all warm inside! 
Thank you!)
