Hey Guys!

Okay so in doing our tallies, we found that at least half of those posts you tagged won’t pop up in search, and thanks to a couple of our emoji spells getting hundreds of reblogs a day, we are not able to see all of your posts. 

We don’t want to miss anyone, so here is what we are going to do! 

Until 12-30, submit your blog address, and the challenges you did (Just tier and number, e.g. Easy 1-5 or Expert 9).

I will continue to add all of these to our personal ledger. If everything you have done is already on the scoreboard as it stands now, don’t worry about sending one in, but if you don’t see your entries on the scoreboard, we couldn’t find your posts using the hashtags (likely a tumblr error, not yours, as I’ve double checked to make sure, and sure enough, some of the entries that were properly hashtagged do not show up in search.) 

We will be working on a few freebies for all of our customers, friends, and followers as thanks for your patience with this. We started the move for unforeseen family health circumstances  in the very beginning of November, and for that reason became a bit inundated with entries. 

Please make sure to title your email “Phantom Fair Entries” and send it to [email protected].

10. Make a collage or color scheme dedicated to one of your spirit companions. If you do not have a spirit companion, dedicate it to a species you feel drawn to, a deity, or an element.

This is a collage I made for my first companion, Dev (the volkh shifter). Before he met me, he took on the shape of an electric blue wolf, but nowadays, he tends to shapeshift into a white cat with electric blue eyes (I think he does this knowing I’m more fond of small cute things xD).

This took me an absurdly long amount of time to find these pictures, so sorry it’s simple, but it was getting kind of ridiculous with how picky I am LOL. =3=

11. Watch a movie or show with a certain companion and write about your experiences.

I watched “The Guardian Brothers” with my companions because it had been a while since we did movie night, and I gave them an offering of Ube ice cream to eat while we watched. At the end of the movie, I used my pendulum to ask what their thoughts were. Apparently Dev, Van, and Dor liked it a lot, whereas everyone else said they sort of liked it, but better than not liking it at all! It was fun getting to huddle up with them and just relax with them.

12. Make a crystal grid to pay homage to an entity, energy, or deity.

I made this crystal grid for Apollo. I used citrine and a plumeria flower because it corresponds to his sunny disposition and kindness. ;u;

13. Do a sketch or draw a quick doodle to pay honor to an entity, energy, or deity.

I drew this for Apollo, since he’s often seen carrying a lyre and wearing a leaf circlet. 

14. Light a candle offering for your entity companions, energies, or a deity/deities.

15. Fill an offering plate with sugar and spices for your companions.

I put aside a bowl of candies and snacks my companions like! I also added in some cinnamon sticks because my companions like the smell of it. 

16. Take your companion’s vessels outside or place them on a window-sill. Take a family picture.

17. Reblog a picture of a place you would like to visit for spiritual reasons. Tag as needed.

I reblogged it here!

18. Post an image of how you believe one of your companions looks.

This is Van, my high elf companion. ;u;

19. Make a post listing your companions, what they are good at, and how long you have known them for.

Dev: Specializes in protection, removing curses/jinxes/hexes, + removing toxic influences. Known for 3 months.

Van: Wonderful at healing, divination, and communicating with nature (animals + plants). Known for 3 months.

Den: Very eager to heal and remove all that does not serve me (past beliefs, pains, thought-patterns etc). 2.5 months

M: Great at healing, motivation, attracting new opportunities. Known for 1.5 months.

Dor: Loves to promote self confidence and spirit cuddles xD. Known for 1 month.

Hey guys, we are working on catching up the Phantom Fair roster. To help us, if possible, we would appreciate those who have performed tasks and do not see them on the roster to send an email with Phantom Fair as the tagline.

8. Write an elemental magick haiku using your favorite element.

Water trickling through,

down the rocks and long tree roots,

to a silver pond.

9. Write a post about/dedicated to someone in the community (or not!) who has inspired your craft.

My metaphysical journey officially started when I met a psychic who taught 12-year-old me to believe in my intuitive abilities and just try. He saw my potential and planted seeds of curiosity and hope to explore various aspects of the metaphysical world and develop my abilities. I remember the first time he made me read my first tarot card in front of others very clearly. He was doing readings for others, and I told him in admiration that I wish I could do the same. “You try,” he told me, and immediately he pulled a single card and asked me to interpret it — it was the star. Using only my intuition of what I thought it meant, I accurately interpreted it and even could tell it had a negative connotation without knowing it was even pulled as a reversal. He continued testing me, and soon, I had the confidence to get my first tarot deck (The Angel Tarot Deck by Doreen Virtue), and the rest is history. :)

By “the rest being history,” I mean that I now have a hoard of tarot decks, 5 spirit companions, am reiki attuned, and too many metaphysical books and tools to count. ^^;

5. Write a list of 8 things that inspire you.

8 things that inspire me include:

The fragility of flower petals.

The undulating ripples of a calm sea.

The glowing orbs of light that hang in the sky (sun, moon, stars).

The innocence and kindness of animals. 

The radiance and iridescence of rainbow opal and labradorite stones when you tilt them.

The blending of voices and instruments, like the guitar and piano, as they harmonize with each other.

The sweet smell of plumeria flowers as I walk down a lane of blooming trees.

The cool, crisp morning air that hugs my cheeks as I say good morning to the world.

6. In one paragraph, explain your dream altar and things that you would have on it.

Hm, this is an interesting prompt I haven’t thought of before. My dream altar would be on a large table that contains several shelves and compartments to place various things. I would like to have a special compartment to store my ever-growing tarot deck collection, metaphysical books, incense + candles, and spell work supplies. My table would consist of several ceramic bowls I personally make to be used for holding offerings for my companions and deities, as well as for scrying and perhaps spell/potion making. I would like to have several different kinds of stones for spiritual work, such as raw amethyst slices, opal, labradorite spheres, rose quartz, selenite wands, turquoise, moonstone spheres, etc, and a mini fountain for mist. I’d also like to create some portraits of my companions and my deities, in addition to having some dangling things (e.g wind chimes, or hanging moon-star “signs”) to add another dimension to the space. I’d prefer that this table be big enough to write on so that I can have a small area dedicated to my metaphysical practices instead of my current situation where I’m conducting metaphysical work on my studying table (I will tell you now that doing this is not conducive to a productive study session, so I highly recommend against it, haha). 

7. Make a playlist of 3 or more songs that get you in the mood for magick. Share them with us!

I’m personally not too picky when it comes to magick-mood-inducing songs. Here are some of my favorites:

Siúil a Rún (Walk my Love) - Celtic Woman

'Spirit' Beautiful Chillstep Mix #33 - Mix Hound

Any Harp Instrumental Mixes  

Celtic Music Mixes

I would like to join team Cervidae because I find that its qualities emulate my main personality traits. As a healer and caregiver, I do my best to provide a loving and peaceful environment for those who are in pain, as well as be wise and patient when I’m giving advice and helping those through emotional turmoil. The deer as a gentle creature who does no harm and has a calming presence wherever it goes does describe the nature of my heart very well.

My fair buddy is @path-of-stars!
