Merry meet!
Thank you once again to all those who joined in for last week’s Witch Challenge - Air Magick 
As above, so below, and one element leads into the next. After exploring air magick last week, we’re moving into a neighboring force. Get ready to jump in and dive deep 
The theme for this challenge is…
Water is the element of the deep sea and the liquid that gives us life. It is the water we drink and the emotions that swell in our hearts. Associated with the Suit of Cups in tarot, water is tied to feelings and emotional states. It is an element of intuition, tides, and the deeper pulls that guide our hearts.
There are some suggestions for how to explore this theme below, and if you’re looking for additional inspiration, feel free to revisit entries shared in the previous water-aligned challenges: Of the Element Water and Splish Splash Spellwork
