So I had to google that - and, Lo and Behold, itās a Christmas Cactus (I have always loved them but never knew their botanical name) So now you need to name her Lady Yule, or something like that! LOL!

Helloooo beautiful souls!! My name is Crystal and Iāve been practicing over 20 years. Iām all-consumed in the metaphysical/mystical realmsā¦however you want to say it! Iām in to everything other-worldly! Thanks guys! Also, my first challenge!
Iāve been doing a lot of work with meditation (61 days in a row now! Woot!) and I finished a nervous system reset challenge. It was great, but I already feel like I need to do it again! Working hard on the self care!!
I also did some really amazing ancestor work and FINALLY used my cute purple cauldron (Iām pretty sure itās not heat resistant - though it says food safe). @SilverBear you would be so proud of me!
Okay Iām in!
This is my first witchy challenge, how fun. Iām pretty much a baby eclectic witch. Although Iām kinda old, I realized I have been living this lifestyle all my life - just never put a name to it w/community, so this feels wonderful.
A new ritual for me isā¦I am outside for 10 minutes every night before bed, looking at the moon & meditating.
This website my favorite online place to be. I start every morning with the Spells8 ritual of the day. It radiates such good beautiful vibes. I make the daily suggested tea and listen to that meditation. Those peaceful good intentions stick with me and elevate my day . Iām happy to be here with you all.

I would sincerely like to thank SilverBear for her post found on the Forum for my Spell Jars. I am so very grateful.
This morning I have been busy doing Spell Jars and a Healing Candle Spell. I have added some different herbs for my intentions and used some of my Made by Zen Mood Mastery Essentials Oils Collection āSuper Sleep & Calm Therapy , Super Happy & Forest Therapyā as I have two bamboo diffusers. I have placed them in the Feng Shui part of my home to increase success.
Deep Sleep & Rest Jar (have not been sleeping well as yesterday only got 4 hours 13 mins) I am averaging on about 6 hours which I know is not enough.
Happiness Jar to bring my joy, peace, laughter, hope and love, blessings.
Health (Pain) Jar - for my Husband. He is in constant pain spondylitis in his neck, a bulging disc in lower back, osteoarthritis. It started in his feet at 9 years old but has
steadily got worse. Got referral to Podiatry Department
again.
Candle Healing Spell and Crystal Magic. The candle lit first time, the flame is straight, very bright and strong, is steady and stable. I am positive and confident that my spell has worked.
How wonderful! Good for you! I love to do this, too, but only in the warmer months here in the North! When the temperature is below 0 itās hard to last even a few minutes.
Welcome, @jessica77 and Merry Meet! Weāre happy youāre here and congrats on your first Challenge. Iām Feathertip, from SE Michigan. Iām looking forward to seeing more of you around the forum!
Letās see. My magical name is Amethyst.
I like candle magic and chants.
Iām about to open up a book on manifestation with aphantasia. Weāll see how that goes. Reading is my hobby, so Iām reading a Tony Stark/Loki fanfic right now that Iāve read a couple of times before. Itās a fun one!
No pets anymore. My kitty Max was my last. Itās just gotten too expensive.
And Iāve been practicing actively since about 2019 or so, but Iāve been reading books and studying since the early 2000s.
Iām sending you and your husband huge positive healing vibes! I have the same issues as him and more, so I completely understand the world he lives in! I hope your beautiful jars do amazing work!
Thank you! And I agree, itās so much fun to read everyoneās stories and meet some new folks. The storm brought chaos, but it looks like that chaos turned into a fun opportunity - Iām happy!
