Do you have any witchy suggestions for burnout? I feel exhausted with life in general. I'm seeking a therapist too, but I feel like I need spiritual healing as well.

I have a couple masterposts that I go to when I’m burned out/drained, I’ll link them below!

Rejuvenating Witchcraft

Things to help you move on and recover from a long day, a rough night or a good cry. Spells and magic: Rose quartz healing tears spell Ease

Magic to Replenish Energy

Witchcraft for the Chronically Fatigued

Fatigue looks at things such as tiredness, drowsiness, exhaustion, weakness, lethargy and memory issues and says “I can do all that and more

For me it tends to be a three step process:

Cleansing. Physically, mentally, spiritually. Take a bath/shower, play some music that makes you happy, do some cleansing (I like to do smoke cleansing when I’m in a funk, since it feels more tangible for me than other forms of cleansing).

Relaxing. There’s a reason you’re burned out. Set aside a chunk of time and focus on the little things. Make a cup of tea (witch it up), and do whatever your soul needs. Could be sitting outside, curling up with a book, creating something or watching a movie. Be gentle with yourself.

Recharging. What energizes you? What makes you feel alive in a good way? Eat food that feels good, move your body in a way that feels good, draw energy from whatever sources you get it from (some examples in the chronic fatigue post linked above).

This can be on whatever scale works for you. A quick morning or evening routine, a day set aside for it, over the course of a week or month, something you do daily. The steps can also happen in whatever order works or all happen at once! Don’t underestimate the little things you do each day and the influence they can have over time.

And to be fully transparent I’m constantly going through this process as well! I had an extremely draining day yesterday so today all I could do was rest (no energy to cleanse or anything). But tomorrow I plan on smoke cleansing then spending some time by running water and just letting some of that tension go with the current. Then I plan on drinking numerous cups of tea while watching a Ghibli film and see what I need from there :)

Thanks to Amy for all the support

Seeing unhealthy patterns in your family and deciding that those pattens end with you and will not be passed down to future generations is an extremely brave and powerful decision.

Forgive yourself for repeating what was taught to you as a child, then put the conscious effort into deprogram these patterns.

Offerings to local river gods (potamoi)

In hellenic polytheism, river have gods. Local river gods were deeply connected to local cultus and life as the river gods would secure protection for the young. Local rivers often had priesthoods and children named after them. Therefore, reaching out to a local river god is a good way to further one’s praxis.

A list of offerings to the potamoi (river gods)

The general offerings — water, wine, milk, and honey.

Clay Votive figures of horses, for horses were run into rivers as offerings. To preserve life and ethics, votive figures would be best.

Clay Votives of cows, for cattle were sacrificed to rivers.

Clay Votives of rams, for similar reasons.

Bronze statues of horses, bulls, and rams.

Wreaths of clay stars due to being attested at a river god’s sanctuary. While the original wreath was made from lead, we know that lead is dangerous.

Wreaths of flowers and other plant life.

Flowers, especially those that remind you of home.

Fruits and nuts, just be sure that they will not harm local wildlife. 

Incense, for that is historical, or candles because they are simply good offerings despite candles not being completely historical.

Honey cakes, provided that it will not harm the environment.

Astragaloi and other game pieces

River gods are connected to the maturation of youths, therefore things that remind you or come from your childhood; such as toys. 

Read Ancient Greek Cults by Jennifer Larson for more information, for that was my reference.
