Connecting to witchcraft again ~✨🌹
This for the people who maybe don’t feel as interested in witchcraft as they used to and what to get back into it. Maybe you’ve tried doing a deep dive into all things witchcraft and came out disappointed.
Maybe you need to actually dedicate some time to your craft. ✨
In order to actually get good at something or get back into something, you need to actually practice it and if its important enough to you. It could be time to stop reblogging and scrolling through witchy posts and actually put some things to the test.
Literally, a lull is a temporary interval of quiet or lack of activity.
Magically, though, it’s a time where you can’t do something because energetically you’re tired. This is completely normal! Everyone has these energetic collapses, and anything really can energetically stunt you. Stress, anxiety, your emotions in general, burning yourself out, etc. Maybe you’re out of practice and that caused you to have a lull.
For me, lulls are something I just completely pull myself out of. Instead, I typically implement small witchy things into my daily life.
Take care of your health ✨
Whether it be physical, mental, you need to take care of your health! This can have a massive effect on the flow of energy, how motivated you feel, how spells work for you, etc. It controls a lot.
Look into yourself rather than others 🌹
When looking for magical healing, we often look to others and what they are doing. we may forget that we are different people and we have different needs. I think that it’s a good start to find help, but you shouldn't rely on someone else to tell you what to do.
Start at the beginning - go back to the basics ✨🌹
I think that most people would say that mediation is a good foundation for a practice. I would say that it really helps you be more present and calmer. It seriously will give your brain a break and its great. It’s the only thing that I've found that does that for me. (and I’m literally the easily distracted person ever) You don’t even have to do it every day starting out, because it will be super hard getting into it. I listen to guided ones otherwise I get super distracted. I use Headspace and its great! They have a mediation for like everything! They have 10 meditations that are free, but if you want access to more then you would have to pay for a subscription. If you are a student though, you can get it for $9.99 for a whole year of Headspace okay so this sounded sponsored as heck but it wasn’t lollll
Maybe look over the types of witches/basics of witchcraft again🌹
Starting over is never a bad thing, not to mention it can be a good way to find a new practice. Having a “beginners mindset” is always good. Keep in mind, that you will never be at a place where there is absolutely nothing new for you to learn! You could look back into sigils, everyday witchcraft, the elements, crystals, spell types, the energy points, casting a circle.
that being said Don’t rely on outside sources like Tumblr to build your practice completely ✨
Yea sure Tumblr is a great resource for information and for me it is super useful, but it is your responsibility to take information and then somehow adapt it to you and your needs (but this is just my opinion, take this with a grain of salt)
Once you finally have gotten more connected to your practice again, don’t spread yourself thin! ✨
What I mean by this is, if you do readings don’t do too many because you’re excited, or don’t take on to many spells….don’t overextend yourself.
Start small implement a morning or night ritual! 🌹
It can be either or both! if you need help coming up with one specifically for yourself, feel free to message me and we can think of something together.
These are things to spice up your practice, maybe if you just need something more to do.
Finding a new path of witchcraft to focus on!✨
It could be that you just aren’t connected to the path you are on
Books like The Green Witch by Arin Murphy, Basic Witches by Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman, The Witch’s Book of Self-Care by Arin Murphy, Wicca By Harmony Nice.
Find a group of witches ✨
Online or otherwise! Tumblr is crawling with witches looking for a community maybe contact one of them to create one! even me tbh!
Possibly get a mentor(s) 🌹
Sometimes having someone who holds you accountable and checks into your progress can make you want to do good! It could be very good for productivity!
Incorporate what you love in your mundane life into your magical life! ✨
ex) tea, technology, books, music, journaling, video games ( one that I incorporate is animal crossing etc.
Sometimes its fun to have a witchy idol! 🌹
What I mean by this is a character from maybe a cartoon that was a witch or someone that has powers! I’ve heard of people using Hermione, Elaine from the Love Witch, Akko, Sucy, Lotte, and Diana from Little Witch Academia. Recently, I’ve been finding inspiration in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the witches in it just seem too cool!
