About Being A Lazy Wytch (12/04/19)

Merrie Meet

Thank you for joining me on this week’s blog.  Today I want to explore how you can be a Lazy Wytch, so if it does not take too much effort please read on.

It is likely that you know you really want to devote more time to practicing your craft and to developing your spirituality, but you may have a full time job, long to do lists, and much more going on (including going to school if you are among my younger readers).

There are many of us who fit that description and feel guilty about it…..I know that I sometimes do. 

I often found myself thinking that wytchcraft was not real unless it consisted of many long rituals that were intricate, elaborate and pre-planned and exhausting.  I am pretty sure that this way of thinking affects us all at some point on our journey.

You may also find that like me you start to question how anyone succeeds at being a wytch if they have a family, a job and other significant drains on their time.  If those thoughts are familiar to you then let me ask you a question –

Do you often feel that because you don’t practice your craft you are not really a wytch at all and that you are simply deluding yourself?

OK so you probably answered “yes” to that question but I am here to blow a hole in that thinking…… you already do a lot of daily practices such as taking a walk or having a shower, drinking that morning tea or coffee and probably many more.  So it really is not that you are not able to carry out your wytch practices it is more a matter of how you do them.

So with that knowledge I am sure that you can consider ways you can turn these “mundane” tasks into expressions of your wytchcraft and when you do this then it is real Wytch Craft.

So let me provide you with a few ideas:-

Shower Magick removes anxiety

While you are taking your shower visualise that the energy of the water is washing away your anxiety.  Take some deep breaths (being careful not to inhale the water) and begin to feel your stress and anxiousness running away with the water down the drain and out of your life.

Bring Magick to your kitchen

Cooking or baking can involve craft working in many ways- select your foods based on their correspondences, create a magickal herb garden for cooking use, or you could even create sigils to adorn your baking.

Morning Coffee Productivity Spell

Start by blessing your coffee (or tea) and then stirring it 9 times in a clockwise all the while visualising your desired results (getting work done quickly, completing your to-do list etc) then drink your coffee (or tea), feel the charge of the productivity coursing through you and simply Get Started.

A Magickal Sleep

You can use the moments before you finally settle down to sleep for a relaxing meditation; enchant your pillow; create a quick dream sachet to put inside your pillowcase.  Record your dreams in a dream journal, then go through your dreams to divine any significant meanings.

So in conclusion – I hope that by reading this article you will realise (as I did) that you do not have to beat yourself up about being a Lazy Wytch because you can practice your Craft each and every day in ways that are personal to you and that is the key.

oooOOOooo

Some Things Moon (05/04/19)


Merrie Meet

Thank you for joining me today on the blog.  

I felt that this week it was important for me to talk and present posts that celebrate the moon in her glory and power.  So I visited my Book of Shadows and extracted the following lunar items to include in this writing.
