Merry meet!
Thank you once again to all those who joined in for last week’s Weekly Witchy Challenge - Simmer Pots 
As Halloween and the Sabbat draw near, it seems like the whole world wants to be witchy. Stores are full of spooky season decorations and the media is full of magick. But no one does witching better than the witches themselves! 
So bring out your wonderful witchyness this week, because the theme for this challenge is…
Your Witchy Aesthetic 
Pagan decorations, magickal clothing, haunted houseware, and more-
It’s your chance to show off your witchy aesthetic this week!
Do you like to keep Halloween decorations out year-round? Perhaps you’re a Green Witch who turned your home into a greenhouse. Maybe you’re a magickal crafter who has bedazzled your space with your beautiful wares, or perhaps you’re a jewelry enthusiast with a collection of enchanted jewelry.
Whatever type(s) of magick you practice, you’ve probably found some creative ways to express yourself and your unique practice. This may be anything from the clothes and accessories you wear, to your home or sacred space decorations, to the crafts you make, etc.
However you like to express your witchy aesthetic - it’s time to show it off with pride this week!

Your Dream Aesthetic 
For witches in the broom closet, those just getting started, or anyone with a big vision - consider sharing your dreams with us this week! It could be the perfect cottage in the woods, an awesome witch cloak you found outline, a Goddess statue you’ve got your eye on, etc.
A great way to do this is by making a Moodboard: aka a collection of pictures around a certain theme. I’ve made a template in Canva that you are welcome to use if you’d like to make your own moodboard using free Stock pictures 
You could also collect images from Pinterest - just please remember the Forum Guidelines and give credit when sharing pictures that belong to/are copyrighted by someone else. Thank you! 
The suggestions above are just a few ideas to help kickstart your creativity- if you feel called to explore your witchy aesthetic in another way, you are welcome to do so!
As always, all witches are encouraged to embrace their own unique practice with how they explore the challenge theme

Blessed Be 
Currently my house has both of them 
I don’t know how it got in my little head to want that. But it always kind of stuck with me, and many decades later, divination is a big interest area for me.
