The Stuck and Unfocused Witch

I get it. Most of us feel overwhelmed with work, school, family, COVID, and so on – It can be hard to carve out part of our day to include magick! Many of us desperately want to make meaningful and genuine connections to our guides, magick, and lifestyle, but we feel blocked in some way. If you are one of the many who feel this way, you are not alone. I too have experienced a sense of disenchantment and stagnation at some point on my journey. Today, I hope to offer you a few tips and tricks I have used over the years to get myself into a place that is more focused and forward-moving.

Patriarchy has given us many beliefs.

The belief that we must control everything is one of the biggest. We have been taught that we should control nature, women’s bodies, people of color, our emotions, our desires, and more. The need for control is so deeply indoctrinated, entire governments have been modeled around it – complete with militant police forces and educational institutions to enforce it.

As I age, I have come to understand that the need for control is not necessary.

I took the time to just sit there on the grass and listen. In the trees around me, I could hear the birds singing and the kids playing in the yard next door. I stayed for as long as necessary, allowing Elder to tell me when and where to cut.

A Couple of Things I Forgot to Mention…

The dark moon is upon us. Her voice echos and resonates from the deepest, darkest depths of my soul. Her rich, deepening tone can be heard by those who find comfort under her thick black cloak. If we choose to accept her invitation, we will find ourselves wrapped in her warmth. BUT, her warmth is not readily given. You can only come to know her warm after you have come to know her cold embrace. No, this is not a horror story, I will tell. This is a personal story – one only you can muster. It is one that is overflowing with the soreness you bring to the table. And Yes, many a discomfort you will uncover as the dark lady wraps you in the cold still night, but… with each layer discovered, you will grow stronger. As each dark veil is lifted and moved aside, you will know healing, clarity, and peace.
