🏆 WITCH CHALLENGE ~ Catch-Up! [Challenge #250]

Activities
58

I wanted to try a multi-medium divination spread for the coming year - using Coastal Crow and Raven Tarot as well as the bronze runes I created, my bioregional Ogham staves, and trying out my newly created Winter Tree Divination tokens.

Threshold of Years Spread

PART ONE: Honoring 2024 (Looking Back)

  1. Achievement (Tarot) - What I accomplished or grew into this year
    The Chariot (Reversed) - What I accomplished this year might have been about releasing control rather than seizing it.
  2. Challenge (Rune) - The struggle or force I worked against/with
    Mannaz - My challenge was about understanding myself in relation to others, working with community, finding my place among people.
  3. Hidden Gift (Ogham) - What 2024 gave me that I might not fully see yet
    Miun - My hidden gift was Tenacity, the ability to bind and connect, finding strength through flexibility rather than rigidity

PART TWO: Standing at the Threshold (The Now)

  1. What I Release (Rune) - What needs to fall away, what I’m leaving behind
    Eihwaz - I am releasing something that needs to die so something else can be born.

  2. What I Carry Forward (Ogham) - The roots/wisdom I’m bringing with me
    Rowan - I carry forward Rowan’s fierce protective energy and its power to spark and quicken things into being, it’s my shield.

  3. My Current Foundation (Tarot) - Where I actually stand right now
    The Magician - I’m standing with a foundation of mastery and agency, at the threshold as someone who know how to work magic.

PART THREE: Tending 2025 (Looking Forward)

  1. Seed to Plant (Ogham) - What wants to grow, what I should nurture
    Phagos - I am planting something that will matter for years, something rooted in deep knowledge.
  2. How to Tend It (Tarot) - Guidance on cultivation and care
    Two of Swords (Reversed) - To tend it I need to remove my blindfold and stop avoiding the difficult choice, stop trying to balance on the fence.
  3. Ally/Force (Rune) - The energy or power available to support this growth
    Hagalaz - My ally is the storm that breaks things open, that smashes through obstacles.

PART FOUR: Rooted Wisdom

  1. Winter’s Teaching (Piedmont Winter Tree) - What this season’s deep root-work reveals about your transition into 2026
    White Oak (Quercus alba) - It reveals my transition into the new year is about claiming my own authority, standing in my sovereignty, being the guardian of my own boundaries and sacred space.

I’m trying to squeeze this post in at the end of the day to meet the challenge, but I’ll come back after the thread reopens to add card/rune/token names, as well as general meanings/keywords.
