#OpenMic OWC & Coffeehouse

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s OWC (Official Weekly Challenge), #OpenMic!

So, in my own observations, witches and pagans tend to be creative people (whether we realize it or not!). Especially when it comes to writing or speaking, the power of words often comes to light in our practices. Some of us write up interesting spells, some whisper unique prayers, some dedicate their poetry or stories to the gods. Many of us utilise writing in our practices in one way or another.

For this week's challenge, we want to see your creative writing skills! Creative writing can be a great way to express your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and experiences with spirituality. Especially when it comes to paganism, historically some of our best records of the gods and people's experiences with them were written in the form of poetry. And in witchcraft, a spell is basically a very powerful poem. This week, feel free to share your creative writing work, or give it a try if this is your first time!

There are no requirements for this challenge, other than to share your creative writing that relates to your religion, spirituality, or magic in some way. This could be:

poetry

prayers

hymns

devotional writing

word-focused spells

short stories

prose

etc

The only rules to keep in mind are the [Guidelines], particularly our 3 sentence minimum requirement and our roleplay rules. If you are writing fiction, please make it clear—don't imply that you are literally able to do something that is physically impossible in real life.

Please also us this Saturday 9/19 at 7pm EST for an Open Mic Coffeehouse!

This will take place in a public chatroom. There, we will be reading our creative writing via voice chat and generally hanging out together! If you're shy and don't want to read your own writing, feel free to bring any poem or piece of writing that resonates with you and your spirituality. Reading order will be first come first serve.

So come hang out, make some coffee, and enjoy hearing some nice poetry and prose with your fellow witches and pagans!

NOTE: Event is over. Thank you to everyone who came!!!
