The elements of witch giftgiving

New member rules apply to this swap. If you don't know these rules, please consult the group forum before joining.

I did a version of this in my European Witches group a little while after Yule as a belated Yule gift. But I thought we could do it in the summer/autumn as well, because who doesn't enjoy getting gifts? :-)

And most of us probably don't get to many witchy/pagan gifts from our family and friends unless they are pagan themselves.

This will be a witchy/pagan related gift package with a twist.

You will have one partner to whom you will send:

(The correspondence in the following is according to my tradition, so don't yell at me if you do it differently ;-))

Something related to air/east: Could be insence, a pretty feather or just something yellow.

Something related to fire/south: could be a candle, a pretty matchbox or just something red.

Something related to water/west: could be a mini cauldron, chalice or just something blue.

Something related to earth/north: could be a crystal, a wooden pentacle or just something green.

Something related to the spiritpoint: This must be a profile related item. Read your partners profile and pick out a gift that you think is perfect for them.

There is no price limit for these gifts, but do make it really nice and of good quality. Put a smile on your partners face.

All gifts must be witchy/pagan even if you just go with the color theme. Gifts can be handmade, store bought or a mixture of both :-)

Remember that this is international, so if you get an international partner keep the postage in mind when you choose your gifts. Small items that don't weigh a ton can be just as special as big heavy items ;-)

Have fun with this. I encourage everyone to go handmade with this as much as possible, but if you are not super crafty you can pick up a couple of things from your local pagan store if you are lucky enough to have one. Or even dip into your private stash if the items are in good as new condition :-)

IMPORTANT: Please include a note explaining the items you send. Not everyone will see what you see or immediately draw a connection to the water element if you send them a special bath soap that you need to wash yourself in before doing a specific spell or ritual for instance. So do explain your items, it is a swap requirement.

It is also a swap requirement to send on time. A late send will give your partner the automatic right to give you a 3 rating.
