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 
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.
