Merry meet!
Thank you once again to all those who joined in for the previous Witchy Challenge - Purify & Cleanse 
Now that our spaces are nice and cleansed, it’s time to dig in and get our hands our dirty! This challenge is all about getting crafty in the Craft 
The theme for this challenge is…
Creative Magick 
Calling all Art Witches, Creative Crafters, Word Wizards, and more - it’s time to let your creativity run wild!
Creative magick is an umbrella terms that encompasses any form of creativity within your practice. This includes spells and rituals to boost creativity and help you get things done. Creative magick can also be the ways that someone expresses their spiritual practice - which can be through mediums such as writing, altar decoration, music, painting, singing, dancing, and more.
How you choose to cast for creativity and/or express your spiritual practice in creative ways is up to you. Show off your skills and find inspiration with your creative coven this week!

Blessed Be! 
On the Full Moon, I’ll be cleansing and blessing a baby blanket I made before sending it off to the momma!
I have a small group I’ve been attending from the beginning of the year, that started as a “spiritual therapy group”, and has been evolving more and more into a proper circle of witches 
The beauty of them for me is how they encourage me to just draw, not getting hung up on details, techniques or anything. The result is usually both raw and cute at the same time
