Merry meet!
Thank you once again to all those who joined in for the previous Witchy Challenge - Coven Show & Tell 
After admiring the treasures, talents, and other tidbits shared by the coven, we’re snuggling in for some cozy spellwork this week.
The theme for the next challenge is inspired by the season and is…
Cozy Magick 
The sweetest and snuggliest of spells
A magickal practice brings many blessings - it can create joy, nurture confidence, establish a sense of control, nurture positivity, and so much more. For this challenge, we’re sharing the parts of our practice that make us feel at home. What do you do in your practice - be it spells, spaces, deities, rituals, or more - that makes you feel happy and safe?

This challenge is all about cozy magick - how you choose to take on this theme is up to you.
So are you ready? Because it’s…
CHALLENGE TIME!
