Let's start a helpful thread:
What do you do to protect yourself and your energies?
I:
Wear protective jewellery such as jewellery incorporating protective crystals
Visualise a white impenetrable light around me
Chants and affirmations
Avoiding situations that I get negative feelings about
So my little organisation spree has meant that I now have my witchy books all comfortably sat on one shelf
Witchy Weekly Challenge 9: Honouring the Natural World:
Welcome back everyone! Your resident duck has managed to return, relatively on time, with Witchy Weekly Challenge 9! This weeks theme is honouring the natural world. I hope you enjoy and as always do share your thoughts on these challenges and any ideas you have for future challenges! I love you all!
The challenge is:
Take some time to sit with your back against a tree, feel the bark against your back. Breathe deeply, visualise yourself spreading roots below the earth.
Observe your natural environment. What plants are native? Can you notice the signs of Autumn/Fall already? Observe, learn, research and incorporate this new knowledge into your craft.
Lets learn more about the hidden meanings of birds! Observe what birds you see regularly and which are rare sightings. Research their hidden meanings.
Plant shopping time! Bring some of the natural world into your space. If you're unable to, spend some time appreciating the plant life in your local area, perhaps when out on a walk!
Give back to your natural world. Feed the birds, water local plant life, leave offerings. Do what you feel is right.
Journaling time! What is a herb you use regularly in your craft? What are its general magical properties? What are the properties it has, personal to you? If you're not sure, what is a herb you would love to use more of and why?
Go on a walk. Are there any elements of nature you are drawn to? Perhaps a broken tree branch can be your new wand? However, please ensure you do so respectfully.
As always my darling witches, you're free to share what you do to complete the challenge. However, you're not expected to! Hope you enjoy this week! Thank you for your feedback and support for these weekly challenges!
Noooooo 🥺 but I've got an entire witchy and non witchy family from group chats 😭 x please keep in touch following the decision to remove groupchats everyone! I love you all and I will continue to chat to you in whatever form and I will continue to try and roll out weekly challenges. I will try and follow everyone but it may take a while Haha x
This is devastating :(
All good things...
We love coming up with new features to make your experience on Tumblr more visceral; when they don’t work out that way, we remove them to make space for new features. Unfortunately, group chats haven’t lived up to our expectations, so we’ll be removing them from Tumblr this month.
Some of you have really leaned into group chats, discussing the merits of various sourdough proofing times, sharing your WIPs with new audiences, and exchanging complicated fan theories on the provenance of Croki.
The majority of you, however, have preferred to have these interactions elsewhere. And so, as we get ready to remove the group chat feature from Tumblr, it’s time to take these conversations to your reblog chains, your replies, and your messages. We’ll leave your chats up until September 22 at 6pm EST. After that, well, the weird will continue to be your oyster.
For some reason tumblr isnt letting me private message at the moment. But here is the link to my discord server, following the decision to disband group chats on here:

Anybody from the group chats and my tumblr blog are welcome to join!
Made a link to my discord server that won't expire, now that tumblr is playing up for me 😂:
Sorry to anyone on the groupchats I am part of, my tumblr is still down. I'm not trying to ignore any of you x available on my discord server if you want to chat ❤
So sorry about this! I've emailed to find out what's going on and I've heard nothing back yet 😅. I can't interact with anything :(
I miss interacting with everyone on here :( why is interaction blocked for me on tumblr now :(
Hi everyone!
I'm really sorry again, I'm very sick, so Witchy Weekly Challenge 10 won't be up for a while. Thank you all for being so patient and understanding! I love you guys!
Just a repost as it's nearly the end for group chats. For anybody who wants to continue to chat to people via group chat, here is my discord server link:
https://discord.gg/9Adb4HPFTB
Everyone is welcome!
I didn't do anything for Mabon this year because I was ill and man...I'm sad about it :(
Hi everyone!
We're currently looking to recruit more admins for the Duck Witch Coven discord server! If you would be interested, please head on over and answer the recruitment questions 🥰. We would love to have you!
Much needed splurge on more Crystals today x the collection continues 😍
Witchy Weekly Challenge 10: Honouring Your Ancestors ~
Yes I know, I know, it's been a looooooong time! But your Resident Duck has finally returned with Witchy Weekly Challenge 10! (Don't expect WWC 11 any time soon after though 😂). The challenge is as follows:
Read up on your family history, find the links with you and your personality. Perhaps share with your family if you feel comfortable to do so.
Write a letter to a loved one you've lost, whom you miss. Make a ritual of it and burn it to send it off to them.
Wear something that belonged to a loved one or that reminds you of a loved one today. Document how you feel throughout the day.
Spend the day with a loved one today, doing something that you will both enjoy. Perhaps take a picture to remember the day or create something together!
Share some memories with your loved ones today. Learn more about your family history and your Ancestors.
Get into the kitchen if you can today, cook something that reminds you of your childhood/a lost loved one. Fill your cooking with positive intentions.
If you have time and space, perhaps plan and create an altar dedicated to your ancestors today. Spend time at this sacred space whenever you wish to be close to them.
As always lovely people, you are welcome to share what you do to fulfil the challenges, but you don't have to ❤
Hope you enjoy, your feedback is always welcome! Feel free to leave comments or ideas for future challenges below ❤
Couldn't agree more, self care is the strongest form of magic
Reminder that self care is magic.
Drink water
Connect with nature
Breathe
Take your time
Sharing something I needed to hear today that may benefit someone else.
Sometimes things that you regularly do in your craft stop working for you and that's ok. When we have a hobby or an interest and it becomes hard to continue because we've lost the interest, we don't force ourselves to continue, we try something new.
You're always changing, so why should your craft remain the same permanently?
You don't have to do daily tarot/oracle card pulls. If you're struggling, maybe try a weekly tarot/oracle pull.
Do what's right for you and your needs.
Buying things I actually need with money I earn = struggle
Buying pretty crystals and more card decks = self care
