🌇 WITCH CHALLENGE - Evening Magick

[BryWisteria]

Merry meet,

Thank you once again to all those who joined in for the previous Witch Challenge - Magick with Animals

The sun is setting over the world, but while dusk brings an end to the day, it’s also the start for certain types of twilight magick

The theme for this week’s challenge is inspired by the energies of the season and is…

Evening Magick
What spells, rituals, and wisdom do you manifest at dusk?

The setting sun and rising moon meet in the middle twice a day at sunrise and sunset. These are liminal times when day and night find harmony. In this way, dusk can be viewed as the daily equivalent to the autumn equinox. It is a moment of balanced solar and lunar power, where day is waning and night is dawning. This special moment of the day carries unique energies that can be used to empower or direct spells.

From relaxing spells to wind down after a busy day, to setting up moon water or doing some evening journaling, twilight spells, and more - what magick do you like to cast at dusk? Come join us for a sequel to the previous morning magick challenge as we explore the magick of nightfall.

Umm yes please I will be adding this to my daily and nightly meditation. I already adore the Luna meditation on this board and the daily ritual , especially the candle , crystals , and my favorite, the daily video of Ruling Deities . This will bring me much peace in this time as needed. September’s turning out to be very blessed and positive , and the fog seems to be lifted .

[Greenbriar]

Ooh yes, I will have to think about what I can do for this challenge. It’s a good one!

I’m happy to hear it! I hope the good energies continue for you all throughout the month. May it be a blessed September

@Greenbriar

It’s a good one!

Yay, I’m glad you like the theme! Looking forward to seeing what you choose to do for evening magick. Good luck and have fun!

[Artemisia]

Now that the sun sets a bit closer to when I wind down for the day, this would be a perfect opportunity to restart 1) reading tarot after almost a year of not pulling cards and 2) revisiting my nightly card pulls for the day ahead.

Challenge entry

Honestly, I´m not much of an evening witch. My days start between 5 and 6 am, I´m tired at 8pm.

But for me, these liminal times and spaces are very connected with Hecate and so my evening magick (if you even want to call it that) is to write a question to her into my book, shuffle the deck and pull a card. While writing down the answer the card gave me, she will also make herself known most of the times and help me channel her message. That´s pretty much it. Not very impressive, I´m afraid, but it does help me unwind, have somewhere to put my thoughts and worries.

Last year around the same time I asked:

How can I honor you?

and what came through was:

Lay your deepest grief, your greatest pain, and all your shame and guilt upon my altar. Pour your suffering into my chalice and let me transform whatever darkness is to be found in your heart.

A few weeks later something truly terrifying happened in my life and I was so glad to run back to her and do exactly what she had told me to do. I truly feel this saved me in so many ways.

So, this practice became very important to me and while I will switch up decks occasionally, my latest purchase the Oracle of the Hekatean Path is my absolute favorite.

Where did you get the cards? So, is it a daily, weekly question, or just when you need it? You got me hooked on that frequency music. I’m a frequency music lover anyway. I listen to, like I said, shaman music. tribal I Listen to 432 for sleep, 639Hz, 333Hz, 11:11, But the ones that were on YouTube, that first video you left the link yesterday for. I’ve listened to it probably about 50 times already at least 20 on the way home last night . It’s about five and a half minutes long .Amazing. So, yes please, I was reading the link that’s on here that you sent me yesterday. Fascinating. And I’ve done some deep dives on Gemini, so anything else you would like to share I would love to hear, please. Hope your day has been lovely.

I also like listening to frequency music but at the moment I have an awesome set of crystal sound bowls in the chakra colours that I’m really wanting to pay justice to

Oh wow, that’s quite the setup. Looks just so relaxing , so peaceful . I listen to bowls hz frequency. Never have I seen a setup so gorgeous . How do you go about learning them? And I have to know where you got those .

[markzen304]

So came across this on YouTube tonight https://youtu.be/4MEDGGe74dM?is=9SfVOwK1sVCZDl7n

And this is my sleep hz frequency for tonight.https://youtu.be/4MEDGGe74dM?is=9SfVOwK1sVCZDl7n

@katharina @Moonbeam got me going down a rabbit hole As William Blake stated, "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to mankind as it truly is: infinite.".

I am in Australia east coast Queensland
Was fortunate enough to see them for sale on Fb market place $500 aud and turned out to be a local lady who did sound healing. Perfect condition.
I am only just starting to learn about them and what to do. I also have a sharmanic drum on the left in the picture. Another new adventure. Same lady $50.
I plan on getting my husband to plane a tree fork to sit them on so I can sit in the fork space and have them around me in a semi circle.

Damn, that’s a deal! They look brand new. Once you get it set up, please, please share! That’s gonna be very powerful , magical , and sacred.

[katharina]

@markzen304

Where did you get the cards?

Amazon! They weren´t even that expensive…like 20 Euros.

@markzen304

So, is it a daily, weekly question, or just when you need it?

So, as a person with adhd I´m not sticking to routines, because this is what kills my inspiration and joy the quickest. I´m very much going with the flow and creating rituals instead.
What I will do is honoring the New Moon every month and Hekates feast days and on these occasions I will pull out my cards and do some channeling with her.

There is a lot of worship or ritual music dedicated to Hecate by now - it´s amazing! When I started out my witchcraft journey in the late 80ies, early 90ies, ressources were so hard to find. Now we have everything at our fingertips!

[BryWisteria]

@Artemisia

1. reading tarot after almost a year of not pulling cards and 2) revisiting my nightly card pulls for the day ahead.

Those are great habits to ease back into. Wishing you all the best with your tarot work!

@katharina

My days start between 5 and 6 am, I´m tired at 8pm.

As a fellow early riser (and early sleeper), I feel the same! It’s hard to go to sleep in summer when its still light out at bedtime. Autumn gives us our dark evenings back and I love it

@katharina

While writing down the answer the card gave me, she will also make herself known most of the times and help me channel her message.

I think it’s wonderful work, and I consider it impressive That’s a beautiful message she sent you. I’m sorry for the scary situation that happened, but I’m glad Hecate heard your call and was there for you when you needed Her. May She continue to watch over and protect you Thank you for sharing this lovely entry, Katharina!

Thank you @katharina for taking a moment and sharing your knowledge. And for a person who is full of anxiety and can’t shut their brain off to sleep. I Appreciate it. I try at least twice a day to meditate to shut it off and always have frequency music on, especially when I’m stressed, just to ease the tension and clear the mind. And Esy has her tarot cards that I’ll be purchasing.

Well that’s very beautiful and inspiring
