Challenge entry
I had been eagerly anticipating diving into this over the weekend, but, as life often does, it threw me a curveball. 
Nevertheless, here’s some trademark Katya rambling for you all.
The deeper I delved into my practice, the more I found my confidence growing—not just in my abilities but in my sense of self. In the past, I used to try to heed conventional advice, trying to mould myself to fit the expectations and norms set by others simply because they were telling me so. It took time, but I realised that some people offer advice to shape me into a version of themselves. Embracing this understanding, I now feel comfortable being the person I truly want to be, even if it means some people might disapprove or think I need to change.
I also learned the importance of connecting with my ancestral heritage. For much of my life, I felt like an outsider, never fully fitting in with any group. However, through my practice and incorporating some ancestral work, I discovered a sense of belonging that transcends any one community. It has given me comfort in embracing all facets of my heritage, allowing me to feel whole and accepted within myself.
I also realised the importance of tuning out the voices of fear and negativity. There are always those who spread fear, whether knowingly or unknowingly, and their words can be paralysing. Learning to ignore these voices has been liberating, allowing me to focus on my growth and well-being in my practice.
I somehow managed to skip rigid practices and strict schedules, but it still took me some time to learn the value of flexibility and intuition. My journey has taught me that it’s perfectly fine to let go of the need for structure and instead, follow my inner guidance. This brings a great sense of freedom and authenticity to my practice.
I also learned that my magick happens naturally, without the need for elaborate rituals or spells. While crafting a detailed spell can be a joyous and fulfilling experience, it’s empowering to know that my intentions and energy are potent in their own right.
Finally, I have come to appreciate the spirits and energies I work with in a way I never imagined. They are far more wonderful and supportive than I could have ever anticipated.
I’ve written much less and with far less detail than I initially intended, but this will have to suffice for now. Life is calling.

Learn to ground and center yourself and be well hydrated and cleanse before working magic. It is easier to tap into the web of the universe 
when you practice these things.
I enjoy the grounding exercise where I grow roots into the earth and then connect to the ether with another cord to ground into the ether so that I feel completely held and remember i am never alone. Then call on the elements to help you.
Listen to your intuition it tells you the truth. Even if it seems crazy.
Know the difference between anxiety and intuition. By listening to the intensity of the voice. Intuition is not loud it is a whisper that connects younwith spirit and will tell you things in different signs if you don’t listen.
Never be afraid of your shadow. Face it and embrace it.
Let go of people who do not bring you joy. If this id not possible, make boundaries with them and limit your time. So they do not drain you of your life force.
Learn to forgive everyone.
→ If I could go back and tell myself one thing about magick, what would it be?
Trust that you are not crazy you are just tapped in beyond the veil. You are safe, all of this hard shit and good shit is temporary. Change is always constant. When someone feels loke they are an unsafe person. Listen to yourself and leave!

You are gift. Keep weaving your beautiful web 
in this life.
Be careful what you wish for.
And only invoke the element of fire with a candle outside where ther is enough room for the energy or you might get burned 
.
Challenge entry- I do a spiritual bath once a month sometimes more if I need too and before I run the water I draw a pentagram in epsom salt at the bottom of the tub then I run the water add any other spiritual ingredients and light the candles. When I get out I have a huge steamed up mirror so I end the ritual with drawing a pentagram on the mirror So Blessed Be. The most valuable thing I’ve learned on my journey is that magick comes in many different forms all over the globe. Magick is universal and it’s okay if I don’t practice everyday because witchcraft is in my heart.
