Yes, you heard it right! I’m coming out with my own 30 day challenge! I tried to come up with a lot of unusual tasks that I don’t see in challenges and to try and make this one fairly interactive. Before we get into it here is a quick FAQ. HAVE FUN!!!
How do I take part?
Follow each instruction on the list for 30 days. That is about it! If you want to share your experience with others then you can upload your pictures and stories to Tumblr and tag it as #Violetwitchcraftchallenge! Alternatively you can submit them to me and I will post them on your behalf. You don’t have to write anything long; just how you found the day will do fine :)
When does it start?
Whenever you want! You don’t have to start at the beginning of the month; the only requirement is that you do all 30 days in a row. But hey, I don’t really care if you miss a few days ;)
I’ve already done _____ on this list!
Either go back to refresh your memory or just skip that day.
Day 1: Write a short post about how you got into witchcraft.
Day 2: Write down in any form you wish what you love about your path.
Day 3: Create a witchy playlist. Share the tracklist.
Day 4: Try Automatic Writing. Share the results.(Learn how here. The channeling of a guide is not required.)
Day 5: Learn a little about a path that you don’t know about, but like the look of.
Day 6: Write something in a witchy script. (My script can be found here. Other acceptable alternatives are the Theban, Tolkien Elvish, etc)
Day 7: Learn a little about a path you don’t know about, but hate the look of.
Day 8: Try seeing your Aura. (Learn how here)
Day 9: Create a Sigil. (Learn how here)
Day 10: Work out your natal chart. (Learn how here)
Day 11: Create a spell.
Day 12: Learn about any form of divination you have not yet tried and give it a go. Share the results.
Day 13: Create a new tarot card for the Major Arcana of tarot. You can just make up a concept and a card name if you are not artistic! (Learn what the Major Arcana is here)
Day 14: Write a short post about what you do in your specific practise.
Day 15: Write a piece of poetry on any witchy topic you would like.
Day 16: Learn the brief history of a specific divination method that interests you.
Day 17: Try meditation. If sitting is too uncomfortable for you then lay down while doing so.
Day 18: Name a book, film, game or TV show from pop culture and how it has inspired your craft.
Day 19: Create a spell inspired by a book, film, game or TV show.
Day 20: Create a sigil from song lyrics of your choice. (An example of this is here)
Day 21: Describe or draw what kind of witch you would be if you were in a fantasy game.
Day 22: Find a blog that inspires you or helps you in your path and send them a nice message :)
Day 23: Create a magical symbol that represents your specific craft. (Similar examples are the pentagram, the cross, etc)
Day 24: Try some of the magic you did as a kid again now. (Making a wish at a specific time, blowing out candles on a cake, making a wish on a dandelion, etc)
Day 25: Use an unconventional item in your craft. How you do so is up to you. (think objects completely unconnected to witchcraft.)
Day 26: Download a witchy app on your phone. Share with us what it is and how you find it useful.
Day 27: Create a deity. You can either draw or just describe the deity and what the deity rules/means.
Day 28: Research a famous occultist from any period of history.
Day 29: Watch a documentary on witchcraft on YouTube. Note if you agree or disagree with how witchcraft was represented.
Day 30: Give yourself a big pat on the back for making it to the last day of the challenge! As a reward for sticking with it I present you with this link to 31 witchcraft movies. Watch one and relax!

One of my more popular posts, My anti anxiety spell charm has gotten lots of questions.
The most common being ingredient substitutes.
My original recipe includes Lavender Buds, Eucalyptus Leaves, Spearmint Leaves, And a shard of Selenite.
If for what ever reasons you can not access or use these ingredients substitutes are fine.
Swap out the Lavender for Hibiscus or Chamomile (Use tea bags if you have them)
Or substitute the Eucalyptus or Spearmint with peppermint (Also available ads a tea)
The Selenite is completely optional and more of a luxury item than a necessity for the spell to work. It keeps the spell charm cleansed and purified while also clearing stress and anxiety. A clear Quartz would also do the job fine.
As I usually mention in my posts, My recipes should always be seen as a base for you to use. Use them as inspiration and change them to fit your craft. Use what ingredients work for you, And what you have available to you.

(do not remove)
-Stir clockwise (no one would notice that) -Drink herbal teas (it’s totally normal) -Clean with special solutions (scented cleaner wouldn’t make anyone suspicious) -Draw sigils that disappear quickly (out of sight, out if mind) -Keep plants around (plants are nice decoration for houses) -Cook with herbs (nobody would question it, and they’ll love your food) -Wear crystal pendants (if it matches your outfit, it’ll pass as mundane) -Buy magickal yet normal things (wind chimes and dreamcatchers aren’t weird) -Drink special smoothies in the morning (once it’s a daily routine, people won’t care) -Take walks in nature (it’s normal and calming) -Draw sigils under clothing (no one would know unless they have x-ray vision) -Keep a stash of candles “for emergencies” (better safe than sorry) -Go out with friends once a week (when I say friends, I really mean your coven, and if you aren’t in a coven, pretend you’re with friends and do witchy stuff on your own) -Add a subtle magickal twist to family holidays (specific color themes, taking the opportunity to use all the extra energy floating around, decorate with enchanted objects, etc)
This list is getting pretty bad so I’m going to stop now… feel free to add on!

New Moon- New Moon magick begins on the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after. Use the energy of the new moon for new ventures and new beginnings. Also use the new moon for love spells, job hunting, and healing.
Waxing Moon- The waxing moon begins seven to fourteen days after the new moon. Use the waxing moon for constructive magick, such as love spells, magick for wealth and success, courage, friendship, luck or good health.
Full Moon- A powerful energy for rituals of prophecy, divination and protection. Any spell work that requires extra energy, such as finding a new job or healing serious conditions, is best begun during the full moon. Also for love, gaining sacred knowledge, legal matters, attracting money and prophetic dreams.
Waning Moon- Begin waning moon magick three-and-a-half to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. The waning moon is used for banishing negativity, for curing addictions, and illness.
Dark Moon- The energy of the dark moon is useful for working magick against attackers, and for understanding your own angers and passions. Also for rituals designed to bring justice to bear in very negative situations.
Ostara is the time to honor rebirth and renewal, not just physical but spiritual as well. It is the time when light and dark are once again at balance and are equal. Here are a few ways you can decorate your altar for the coming Sabbat.
Yellows
Purples
Greens
Blues
Pinks
Pastel Colors
God and Goddess Statue
Black and White Candle
Balancing Scales
Sun and Moon Symbol
Yin and Yang
Milk
Plants (daffodils, lilies)
Basket of Eggs
Spring is synonymous with new life, put things that are just being born or renewed onto your altar.
Seeds and Bulbs
Nature Deities (Herne, Flora, Gaia, Attis, etc)
Gemstones and Crystals (aquamarine, rose quartz, and moonstone)
Ostara is March 20th this year.
Blessed Be

This sachet spell can help you have a more restful sleep and keep your dreams positive.
Need:
10 whole cardamom pods
1 tbs sea salt
15 whole cloves
1 tbs dried mint
1 tbs dried rosemary
A white candle
A pink candle
A silver candle
A small bag or pouch
Method:
Light all three candles wherever you are going to be working on your herbal pouch. In a small bowl, mix everything together with your hands. Keep your thoughts peaceful while you work. You should do this spell in a quiet moment when you won’t be disturbed.
Repeat this chant while you stir your fingers through the herbs: “Sleep, dream, peace, Peace, dream, sleep, Dream, sleep, peace”
Pour the herbs into the bag, and tie it closed.
Set is somewhere near your bed. You can sleep with it under your pillow, but it will be quite aromatic and lumpy. Up to you.
