Witchy Weekly Challenge:
This is the first week of my new idea of the witchy weekly challenge!
The challenge is based around a theme and this week's theme is "sharing the love". If you like these challenges, then I can continue doing them, with new themes each week!
So this weeks weekly challenge is:
Day 1 (today): do something nice for you
Day 2: do something nice for a family member
Day 3: do something nice for a friend
Day 4: random act of kindness for a stranger
Day 5: random act of kindness for your pet
Day 6: do something kind for your local wild animals
Day 7: nourish your environment
You're welcome to share what you do to complete the challenge each day, but don't feel like you have to share x
I wanna start a thread!
What's your favourite sabbat and why?:
Mine is Lughnasadh because it was the first one I celebrated and it's getting closer to autumn/winter seasons!
Duck ask #5?
What is a misconception of witchcraft that you want to get rid of?
100% want to get rid of this idea that all witches are evil beings! I believe magic is all focused on the intentions of the practitioner.
The other one I'd love to get rid of is the idea that a belief in the healing properties of Crystals automatically means that you apparently don't believe in modern medicine? I believe crystals can help you, but like if you have a broken arm, you go to the doctor and get a cast!
Witchy Weekly Challenge (Week 2): Learning and Progressing
Day 1: carry 1 crystal with you today that calls to you, write down your experiences
Day 2: practice one form of divination today
Day 3: spend at least a few minutes today focused on meditation/grounding and centering
Day 4: choose an affirmation to focus on reciting this morning, to bring that energy in
Day 5: Do some reading into a topic of your interest and write down 5 things you've learnt
Day 6: ask another witch about a topic they have interest in/knowledge in
Day 7: end the week with some gratitude, write a list of things you are grateful for this week, they can be big or small!
As always you're not expected to share what you do, but you're welcome to if you would like.
Hope you all enjoy!
Witchy Weekly Challenge: Week 3 (Chances)
Hi everyone, Duck here! Hope you've all been enjoying the previous weekly challenges! This week's weekly challenge focuses on chances!
Choose a crystal today that you normally do not work with, document your progress with it
Ask a loved one to choose a piece of clothing or jewellery for you today, see how you feel wearing it throughout the day.
Ask a loved one about a personal interest of theirs, perhaps share information about yours in return. What did you learn?
Try cooking something you don't usually cook, perhaps incorporating herbs you don't often use. How did the process make you feel?
Reach out to someone you've lost touch with, who you miss talking to. Observe your's and their response.
Compliment a stranger! What was their reaction?
Have a go at a hobby/task you've put off because of fears. What was the result?
As always you can share your experiences, however you're not expected to!
Hope you all enjoy!
Bought a posh Disney notebook. Am I going to use it for a grimoire or Book of Shadows?
You bet your ass I am!
Witchy Weekly Challenge Week 4 (Words are Powerful):
Hi all! Another week in and your resident Duck has returned with another Witchy Weekly Challenge! I hope you are all enjoying them! I will apologise now if anything in weekly challenges gets repeated, its unintentional Haha! This weeks theme is words are powerful.
The challenge is:
Sit and reflect on how you view yourself. Write all the positive words on one side of a piece of paper and all the negative on the other. What has led you to view yourself like this?
Following on from day one. Refer back to all your negative words you used to describe yourself. Can you come up with a word/thought/sentence to challenge them?
Think of something that you usually view as negative about yourself. Imagine you're complimenting someone, what would you say to them?
Spend time talking to a close family member or friend today. Let the conversation flow naturally, no matter where it leads.
Consider another tumblr user that brings you joy with their posts. Send them an ask with a compliment or words of encouragement. It can be anonymous or with your blog name attached!
Listen to your favourite song, really focus on the lyrics. Then listen to the instrumental version of the song. How does the song change without lyrics?
Have a go at writing your own poetry/song/short story. What words are you drawn to using? What feelings do the words invoke for you? Ask someone close to you to read it, does it invoke the same feelings for them, or different?
As always you are more than welcome to share your experiences, though you don't have to!
Hope you all enjoy the challenge! Let me know if you want me to continue these challenges!
When I have my own place, you bet I'm raising ducks.
Hi everyone! Duck here, to pose a question to you all:
Witchy Weekly Challenge 5? Yes or no?
Witchy Weekly Challenge 5: I am Magical:
Hi everyone! Sorry it's a bit later than usual but Duck is back with witchy weekly challenge 5! This week's theme is "I am magical".
The challenge is:
Research the crystal associated with your zodiac sign. What are its magical properties?
Delve into the magic of birth flowers. What magical uses does your specific birth flower have?
If you haven't already, look into your birth chart, if you can! Have you learnt more about your traits from this?
Are there any animals you are drawn to, or simply have a connection with? Find out more about their spiritual meaning.
Take a moment outside in nature. Try to tune into each individual sense, one at a time. Embrace that power within you, feel the sensations that come with it!
Journalling time! Do you consider yourself a specific "type" of witch or do you dislike labelling your practice? How does this impact your practice?
Practice a form of divination (if you use divination tools), with tarot/oracle cards practice sensing the meaning before reading the guidebook. What do you think this card is telling you about your question? If you use a pendulum practice focusing your energy on the pendulum and clearing your mind of anything but the question at hand. Close your eyes, see if you can feel the answer the pendulum has given before visually seeing it.
As always loves, you are welcome to share any of your ideas or experiences, but don't feel as though you have to! Let me know if you'd like these to continue into Week 6! I love to hear your feedback!
New witchy thread!:
Show me your favourite oracle card/tarot card! It can be because of the artistry of the card, the meaning, or simply that it comes up regularly in readings!
Heres mine:
Hey lovely people!
On the back of Witchy Weekly Challenge 5, I wanted to put it to you guys to decide the theme for week 6!
I'll chose the most commented theme at the end of this week and develop challenge 6 out of it. Unless you would also like to leave your daily challenge ideas in the comments? If so, go right ahead!
If anyone wants to join the coven of the ducks? All are welcome ^.^
All Beginner Witches welcome! If you would like to join that is xx
Let's try and make this viral to help!
J'appelle tous les pays qui peuvent nous aider. Nous avons péri et dévasté avec les 112 incendies au total. Ceux que nous ne pouvons pas arrêter. Nous avons perdu 8 personnes, tant d'animaux et nos forêts. Aidez-nous s'il vous plaît. Nous avons besoin d'avions de toute urgence. Nous n'avons qu'un monde. Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît partager ce post.
Hey everyone!
What should the theme be for Witchy Weekly Challenge 6? Comment below! 💗
So for Lughnasadh this year, I made some shortbread hearts and stuck little wafer butterflies on them (which turned out adorable!), drank wine, listened to some of my favourite music, ordered pizza and did a spread with my favourite oracle deck!
Life is good!
Witchy Weekly Challenge: Week 6: Mundane Can Be Magical!
Hello again everyone! Your resident Duck has returned with the next weekly challenge (albeit a bit earlier than the last one haha). I was ecstatic to see how many people loved week 5's challenge and I hope you all enjoyed participating! This week's theme is "mundane can be magical"!
The challenge is:
Put your favourite music on. Feel the music, dance if you want to, sing your heart out, laugh at yourself.
Cook yourself something. Mindfully consider your ingredients, focus on the energy you want to bring to your food. Make whatever you want, however you like it. Enjoy your food, with gratitude for all the work you put into it.
Choose an outfit to wear. Pick out items that make you feel good. Perhaps pick crystal jewellery for the energy you want to introduce into your day. Observe how you feel wearing your outfit.
What/where are your favourite scents in the world? What makes these scents special to you? Maybe you can experiment with using these scents in your grimoire/BOS?
Spend time with your favourite people. Observe how you feel around them. Write a note for them to tell them how special they are to you and give it to them.
Where is your favourite place to just sit and relax? Go there if you can and spend some time without technology.
What is something that most people consider mundane but you can see the magic of? Spend the day embracing that "mundane thing" in whatever way you would like.
As always lovely people, you are welcome to share what you do to complete each challenge. However, you're not expected to. I hope you enjoy this weeks challenge, and do feel free to comment if you would like the challenges to continue!
Witchy Weekly Challenge 7: Self love and healing:
As promised loves, your resident duck has returned with week 7 of the weekly challenge series! This week is all about self love and healing! I hope you're enjoying the weekly challenges so far! Do feel free to drop a comment or a private message if you have any ideas for future challenge themes! I love to hear new ideas :)
The challenge is:
Journalling time! What is it you want to achieve/see in yourself/change? What is holding you back?
Practice setting yourself a few goals to achieve those plans. Start small and work up! Perhaps you can set your specific intention for the following year?
Set aside some time to focus on yourself. Maybe relax in a nice bath using your favourite oils or salts. No distractions, just be.
Choose an affirmation for the day and recite it either out loud or in your head as you are getting ready for the day.
Spend some time looking at yourself in the mirror. Thank each individual part of your body for what it does for you.
Spend today treating your body like your closest friend. Mindfully nourish your body with good food, do some exercise if you can, try to get at least 8 hours of sleep.
Go on a date with yourself. Treat yourself by doing something you love, having your favourite food and maybe buying something for yourself, if you're able to. Be kind to yourself.
As always beautiful people, you are welcome to share what you do to complete the challenges. But it's not expected. I hope you enjoy this week and please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas for the challenges!
Hi all!
Weekly Challenge 7 is now up! Hope you all enjoy it!
Lots of love
Your resident duck
