Fruits of Your Craft
Starting this on June 9th, 2025 immediately after quitting the Roots of Your Craft challenge. The issue with the ROYC challenge was that it is aimed towards people who are just starting out with witchcraft and I've been a practicing witch since I was a young teenager (I'm currently 28).
To any new witches and/or people who are witchcraft curious, I definitely think it's worth checking out the Roots of Your Craft challenge. Some of it does feel very much like mid to late 2010s witch culture, but it should be easy enough to follow. I think anything that prompts you to think about your goals and beliefs is worth at least considering. I love 30 day challenges and wish they were still as popular as they used to be. Also, sorry, I think calling your practice "the craft" is cringe. I'm a random person on the internet, don't let my opinion stop you from doing whatever you want. I'm jussayin.
This page will basically be the same as the ROYC page. Below will be a list of the prompts, updated daily as I do them. Here is the prompt list, if you would like to do it as well!
