🪢 Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - The Eclectic Witch: Interdisciplinary Magick

Celestial Moon,
I would have to say you did some really great work! I agree with all of your comments and appreciate your input! I actually did the test and so glad for my challenge I did this test so thank you :blush: I aligned with the Hindu religion
My religious or religious influences
Raised Catholic and yes it impacted my views, I thought that I was gonna go to hell because I’ve got into drugs and then I converted to Christianity however I learned that I was not the greatest Christian in the world, and I was already into divining earlier in my childhood, and I’ve felt like learning more about the craft. Since I came to the craft, I do not believe that I am not going to be going to hell for my sins. I believe in reincarnation, I believe in the cycles of life death birth, rebirth! I love listening to near death experiences and communicating with my ancestors. I have a voice now, and I am not spiritually programmed anymore!
:pentacle_tarot:Philosophies
Nature is sacred and I can manifest my desires, and hopes and dreams!
I can transform my pain into being in self acceptance transforming into a queen! Queen of swords :dagger: Queen of :magic_wand:Wands Queen of Cups Queen of pentacles :pentacle_tarot: This is the elements through the tarot! I can live a magical life. It is important to be mindful of of others.
If you want to create change , you could start by looking in the mirror! That’s why I incorporated a book of Mirrors :mirror: 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!
It would be nice to have more but honestly, it’s hard to define success. I just want to love myself to the core! I really love the craft and wish I could find some thing. I am really good at and share with others so success to me is reaching my highest self in the purest form, being able to be a part of something much bigger, reaching self actualization, from my moslows hierarchy.
Heritage and family
I come from a Mexican background my family came from Mexico on my dad side and they had the tendency to be really a strict Catholic family. They raised me in a church and we always prayed to Jesus and mother Mary! We ate a lot of food. We valued family and friends. I didn’t know my mom’s side only my dad’s side I was adopted. My grandparents would shit a brick if they knew I were Wiccan and knew I worshipped other Dieties! They were not open at all to polytheism. They are both deceased.
Locations and Local Traditions
I like to take my dog :dog2: out for a walk a lot I like to be in nature, and I am attending rituals :magic_wand:for the Sabbats at a local druid pagan community. For fun I like to go to the :crystal_ball: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 :green_salad:vegetables for my flowerbeds. I like to go to pagan festivals or music :notes: festivals and I also like to go to the local :bread: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
:apple:Education
Self taught our, herbalism, Reiki, healing, since I have a degree in criminal justice I am trying to get a job working with disturbed adolescents since when I was a kid I was very disturbed and I got into gangs and drugs and now I’m trying to give back to my community by being a advocate for youth!

Awww you’re welcome Jeannie, I’m happy I could help you discover more of yourself! :blush: You did well with listing your influences too! :heart:

For a long time when I thought of religion or spirituality, Christianity was the only thing brought to my field of vision too… I wasn’t terribly interested. It felt very alien for me from the very beginning. We’re not above nature, we’re part of her :seedling: 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.

This is my goal too, to embody love :sparkling_heart:

Love you too beautiful soul! :sparkling_heart:

Loooooove this! May I ask what brand/type of grow lights you are using? I’m looking to do something similar to supplement my outside herb gardens.

@Artemisia, absolutely!

I got them from Amazon. The brand is Barrina I believe. I got a smart-plug timer so that I could set the time for them to come on/off each day. :blush:

There are so many great entries in this challenge! :clap: 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! :rock: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:


I always forget about RhymeZone :laughing: 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 :sweat_smile: Your chants and poems at the end of these challenges always make me smile and feel all warm inside! :sun:

haha there’s nothing wrong with that! :laughing: If you give this a shot, I hope you’ll let us know how it goes!

And warm hugs back to you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: It’s a long road for sure, but I’m sure we’ll both be just fine eventually!

It was very lovely and I felt nice and relaxed afterward. I’m hopeful it had the intended effect and will continue to do so any time I use it!
