Wow, so far off track...

My schedule has me scrambling to get my magikal feet back under me. This whole new dad thing has taken a toll on the schedule. Anyway, no more excuses, but I'm starting back from the ground up with some meditation work. That's always where the rubber meets the road for me anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to post something a little more useful soon.

While I've found that I can still do energy work distracted and low on practice, I can say from experience that not having time to metaphysically recharge and refocus it does seem to take the mustard off my work (spells).

I never have gotten comfortable with magik and witch, etc. as terminology. It seems so namby pamby. I guess I could accurately say I am a witch that casts spells, but then I immediately get this mental picture of prancing around a tree in a purple robe. An occultist doing energy work sounds so much more dignified. Damn google videos. Nothing against folks who prefer the whole gay pride/Halloween look. Just not for me I guess.

Anyway, I digress. Just wanted to reiterate the importance of simple things like charging and cleansing aura and chakras, cleansing meditations, and other simple meditations. Also important, finding ways to stay motivated. This is one of my biggest struggles. I've found what often works are simple things. Find a decent book on witchcraft or etc. even a basic one and read for five minutes before you go to sleep. That's what I had to start doing anyway. Also reminding yourself of successes and meaningful encounters. Sometime reminding yourself of those "holy crap" moments helps you remember that yes though some of this shit sounds crazy its real. Also, In my own experience I notice that I start shutting out metaphysical practice when there are personal issues I'm not dealing with. Food for thought. Assuming anyone actually reads this...
