I'm neurodivergent and i experience really intense burnout. I get to a point where I struggle to even get out of bed, take my meds, remember to drink water, let alone practice. But, when I want to practice i have a list of things i can usually do. Everyone's experiences with burn out/low energy are different so this list may not apply to you, and that's okay. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't and i hope you enjoy my silly little list :)
create a playlist and infuse it with an intention. eg, a money spell playlist filled with songs about wealth.
draw sigils with soap when in the shower. (you can also use a wet wipe if you can't shower)
found some juice? give it a little shake and use the ingredients as a spell.
have food that has grains as ingredients? wow! an abundance spell!
the classic add intention to your tea and coffee.
bind your hair. for me with is as simple as putting my hair in a ponytail.
watch a witchy video. while not technically practising witchcraft, sometimes all you need is to sit back and relax to connect with your practice.
when I have a decent amount of energy I'll grab a large pillar candle and carve sigils into it. I use it as a long-term spell; all I have to do to activate it is light the candle. I like to light one of these spell candles when I'm having a bad day.
if you're religious, pray. Even if you're lying in bed. Even if you haven't showered in a week. If it makes you happy and you can, do it
burn some insence! it smells good, you don't have to really worry about forgetting about it, it's good for cleansing. it's great!
take a nap with some crystals. any restorative crystals or calming crystals work great! just make sure that they aren't geodes or roughs. i'd hate for you to hurt yourself while sleeping.
if you don't have any crystals for your nap, set an intention instead. please let yourself rest.
It's important to remember that you're allowed to take breaks from your craft. If you're forcing yourself to practice when you have no energy because "that's what a good witch would do!" then you're probably going to make your situation worse. it's a great way to fall out of love with witchcraft. give yourself some grace. rest is infinitely more important than 1 full moon, 1 new moon, or missing your daily/weekly/monthly cleanse. You aren't a bad person if you don't pull your morning tarot card or check the astrology forecast for today. and you aren't a bad person if you miss your daily prayer. take care of yourself. your health is WAY more important than your craft. Go get a drink of water and take care of yourself <3
Trying to align my worship with the lunar calendar 🌙
Enchant your morning cup of tea/coffee
Match the colours of your makeup to your intentions for the day
Visualise the water washing away all the negativity when you shower
Enchant your nail polish (bonus: match the colour to the intention, black for protection, red for love, green for prosperity, etc)
Say your affirmations (for clear skin, fading scars, reducing dullness, etc) when doing your skincare
Charge your perfume with the energy you wish to attract
When tying your shoes, visualise them symbolically protecting you from tripping and “falling” into places and situations that disturb your peace
Use music to your advantage, listen to songs that match your intentions, or alternatively, use music as a tool for divination
Some witches veil to keep their energy from draining and to protect them from others’ emotions, but a beanie works too
If you wear glasses, use them as a tool so that they help you “see clearly”
Put your moisturiser on in the shape of a sigil before massaging it in
Child’s pose is always there for you, use it when you need it (alleviates stress and anxiety, helps clear the mind, releases tension in the back, helps to steady breathing, is overall great for grounding, etc)
Visualise the A+ (on your report card/on the paper after it’s been graded/etc) right before beginning to solve your test/exam, it also helps if you can draw a sigil somewhere on the paper, or trace it on the paper with your finger
When shaving, visualise any energy buildup being shaved off as well
If you play the guitar, draw a sigil on your plectrum/pick for an added boost (this works with other instruments too)
Do not litter out of respect for nature and its spirits
Feel free to add more things onto the list
When you’re just starting out, or even when you’re just too drained to practice your craft like you used to, it can feel like there isn’t enough magic in your life. This is your daily reminder that a lot of the time, the only difference between routine and magick is intent.
Some basics of Crystals!!! Enjoy lovelies!!
Part 1 ☆♡☆
I’ll have to try this!
Have you tried reading tea leaves? Give it a try ! You may get surprised ;)
I created this spell for when I want to feel and radiate the energy of a fierce, magnetic, gorgeous, powerful and radiant siren. This is personally useful for when one experiences heavy stress, low self esteem, elevated anxiety, wants to impress, or seeks to feel their like best self.
A Glamour is a beam of energy cast around a being that can change the energy of them, or how that energy is perceived and felt by others. A Glamour can be used to attract or repel certain types of people or even particular individuals.
Cleanse your bathroom, particularly the bathtub, before even starting this spell. Any energetic residue will disorient the charming energy we are emitting.
Light the candle beside your the bathtub and place the crystals around you. Say or think the Incantation below with full focus and your complete true intention.
Add the aforementioned foliage to a sachet and start the faucet. Once running, submerge the Sachet in the water whilst mixing it in.
Finally, Step into the bathtub and soak in the energies of the spell and the allure of a siren. Happy Casting and remember you always were and always will be absolutely beautiful!
(Optional) A Friday or Waxing Crescent.
3 Spoonful’s of Dried Hibiscus 3 Spoonful’s of Dried Jasmine 3 Spoonful’s of Himalayan Pink Salt (Preferably Tumbled) Amethyst (Preferably Tumbled) Smoky Quartz
“Sacred Salt of the Sea, Please Bestow charm to me May the roaring tides encourage me to always be free May the clarity of the deep blue always help me see The Siren’s allure resides and grows deep within me”
This looks beautiful💖🥺

May aromantic and asexual people who worship Aphrodite be blessed, you’re valid. She’s the goddess of love, not necessarily romantic or sexual love. Love in all forms, platonic and self love included.
Stay safe and cozy everyone. 💖💖💖💕
