Uncle Fester's Magick by the Month Parcel : March

I'm a little late on posting this, but I wanted to anyway for the sake of completion. As March is already over and we're into April, I'll just make it a quick post.

All the items in the March Magick by the Month parcel were water-themed. I received:

✨ a lava stone bracelet with crystal beads in rainbow colours. The lava stones can be anointed with essential oils.
✨ "Cupido Novus" oil from Charme et Sortilege. It helps to stimulate new love, friendships or creative projects.
✨ Gyrasol (aka Moon Quartz) crystal. A water energy stone, good for promoting inner peace.
✨ an echidna charm. To represent emotional water energy.
✨ Nag Champa soap. For cleansing.
✨ Divine Soul incense.
✨ a herb mix with Herb Robert, Jasmine flower, Job's Tears and White Willowbark.

Grey School Summary :: March 2018

March a slower month for me. With the heat of Summer winding down into the hazy days of Autumn, I found myself with more free time to concentrate on my studies. I managed to complete two assignments and start two new ones. The dice divination oracle came up with some interesting results, and I learned some new things through researching cleansing techniques.

Meanwhile, I earned 8 merits for my Lodge by answering questions about my star sign, my favourite oracle deck and my daily rituals/habits, among other things.

I wrote a few months ago about completing the T.O.R.C.H. Award (Level 1). Ideally it should be completed over the course of once semester (semesters are 6 months running from equinox to equinox at Grey School). I thought about whether to rush and try to complete it by the Autumn equinox. I still had to complete one class -- consisting of 3 assignments -- to be eligible for the award. I didn't think it was feasible to do that in three weeks, and give it the proper attention it deserved, so I decided to let it go and re-try for the award next semester. To that end, the goals at the bottom of this post have been re-set.
