Hi there! Do you know of any resources for getting back into the swing of witchcraft after a long lapse in practicing? Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Plenty! I've talked about this on several occasions, so I'll link the posts below. There are lots of posts for rediscovering your inspiration or restarting your practice under the tag "battling the slump" on my blog as well, if you want to scroll a bit.

I also discussed the topic on two episodes of my podcast:

  • Hex Positive, Ep. 027 - When Inspo Takes A Holiday (March 2022)
  • Hex Positive, Ep. 033 - Touch Grass (April 2023)

Hope this helps! 😊

I’ve been having trouble finding shops online for incense, herbs, and candles that don’t sell endangered or threatened species in their inventory.

If anyone knows of a good shop that doesn’t sell {white sage, palo santo, dragons blood resin, frankincense, rosewood, spikenard, and myrrh just to name a few}, then please put in the reblogs or comments.

I’d like to compile a list of vendors that sell a variety of incense, herb bundles, candles, and oils, that are produced from plants that are sustainable and not threatened

A reputable source or herbs? So many kinds of incense, both cones and sticks? Tea strainers? Supporting Jewish witches? So many stickers and pins that are about loving garlic?

I’m already favoriting the site

10 Practices for Low-Energy Witches

  1. Daily affirmations: Start your day by setting an intention or saying a positive affirmation that aligns with your goals and values. This can help you stay focused and grounded throughout the day.
  2. Gratitude journaling: Take a few minutes each day to write down three things you're grateful for. This can help cultivate a sense of appreciation and abundance in your life.
  3. Mindful breathing: Take a few deep, mindful breaths throughout the day to center yourself and release any tension or stress.
  4. Moon-watching: Take a few moments to observe the moon each night, noting its phase and any changes in its appearance. You can also keep a moon journal to track your observations and feelings.
  5. Elemental meditation: Spend a few minutes each day meditating on the elements (earth, air, fire, water) and their associated qualities. You can visualize yourself surrounded by each element and focus on how they make you feel.
  6. Herbal tea rituals: Incorporate herbal teas into your daily routine and take a few moments to mindfully prepare and enjoy them. You can also research the magical properties of different herbs and choose teas based on their correspondences.
  7. Candle magic: Light a candle and set an intention for the day or visualize your goals and desires coming to fruition. You can also choose candles based on their color correspondences for added potency.
  8. Sigil drawing: Create a simple sigil to represent your intention or desire, and draw it on your skin, clothing, or a piece of paper. You can also charge your sigil with energy by visualizing it glowing with light or energy.
  9. Crystal charging: Choose a crystal that aligns with your intention or desired outcome and hold it in your hand or place it on your body. Visualize the crystal absorbing your energy and amplifying your intentions.
  10. Nature appreciation: Take a few moments each day to appreciate the natural world around you, whether it's the beauty of a flower or the majesty of a tree. You can also connect with nature by taking a walk, gardening, or spending time in a park or forest.

Remember, these are just a few examples of simple, low-energy witchcraft practices you can incorporate into your daily routine. The most important thing is to find practices that resonate with you and align with your personal values and beliefs.

It's important to remember that everyone's energy levels and circumstances are different, and there may be times when you simply don't have the energy or motivation to practice witchcraft. This doesn't make you any less of a witch, or any less magickal. It's okay to take a break and focus on self-care and nurturing yourself. Remember, your magick is always within you, and you can connect with it in your own way, on your own time. Be kind and gentle with yourself, and trust that the universe will support you wherever you are on your journey.

To sink a behemoth, Displacing gallons of incomprehensible measurement, Feeding villages to civilizations on blubber and marrow.

To bequeath a legacy, Of decade filled descendants and ecosystem genesis, Growing generations uncountable of hagfish and plankton.

To birth a lineage, Evolutionary fractals of kinetic biodiversification, Footprinting beyond fossil record where blue bleeds abyssal.

To submerge an ascension, Where rising demiurge grasps reflection in fraying corpse-fat, Haloed by bacterial mats and winged in polychaeta.

To devour an apotheosis, Renamed microscopic and leviathan in one airless gasp, Gorged bountiful of divinity dispersed from bone and flesh.

To conclude a promise, Life renewed in matching exchange of a single lived, Archimedean overflow flushing Lethe’s tidal shallows in rebirth
