Brysing if a book can be read in 3 months then surely magick can be learned in 3 months! Common knowledge obviously.

Well it sounds fun in theory, but you might wish to come to a common goal. The YouTube Pagan Challenge for example is a series of videos answering a series of questions like when did you get started, what does magick mean to you, what does this season represent to you, who do you admire, stuff like that. Not really a spell a day, but still relevant. This path isn't just about spell casting, so perhaps research various things to study, questions to contemplate, and things to practice [like meditate for 30 minutes or observe the season] I don't know of any 'challenge' but I have come across a series of questions and activities over the years to help me at various points in my life when I was stagnant. Try getting a copy of Deborah Blake's 'The Goddess is in the Details' it helps further your study and gives questions/activities to help you on your next step.

While I do like the idea behind hundred-day challenges, it seems it's better applied to a physical skill. Magic, while definitely a skill, is more about knowledge and training the mind. Some of that could be accomplished in 100 days but it would be far too easy to cram ritual acts into a practice with no deeper meaning.

I don't mean to try and learn everything in 100 days (I know that's impossible) I just mean having a laid out plan to practice for 100 days consecutively.

Also, I've seen other people do similar challenges (like 100 days of drawing for example) just so they form a habit so that after the 100 days it is more natural to them.

This is quite a cute idea, I have seen people do it with tarot where they push themselves do to a little something daily to expand their knowledge and gain practice.

I do agree with Brysing though, magick cannot be learned in 100 days, it can take a whole lifetime and no one will know everything, but this at least gives you a chance to get a lot of practice in in a short period of time.

Exactly I don't expect to learn everything at once because it's justs not gonna happen, but I would like to gain practice.

The decision is in your hand. Yes it will be a good idea however it also have a bad effect on your brain too. we all know everyone learn things differently and they are the one who is responsible for their health and know them-self better then second person so if you think it is a good idea then gave it a go.

Here are some questions I have found on tumblr, perhaps you could journal about one each day. I have tried this before and it is very difficult just to tell you.
