BOREDOM

Eventually, it will happen to all of us …. Boredom.

It’s true. Physically, sometimes we are limited. But that’s not a reason to fall victim to reality TV marathons or social media over-consumption. If your free time leaves you feeling ‘blah’ or lethargic, it might be time to shift your attention to activities that make you feel lighter, impassioned, and more in touch with your purpose.
Anytime we are confined to our homes, we should be extra selective with where and how we spend our energy.

Here are some of the things I enjoy.

• Make a Spell Bottle
The oldest Witch’s Bottle dates back to the 1600’s. Not surprising, seeing as how during the 17th century, witchcraft was feared throughout the world.
Traditionally, Witch’s Bottles were designed for protection and to deflect malevolent spirits, but their purpose has evolved over the centuries. Today, people create spell bottles for love, abundance, and countless other intentions.

• Learn to Make Sigils
These are so much fun, it is an inscribed symbol considered to have magical power. You just have to acknowledge your desire, magic is all about intent.

• Practice Scrying
Scrying takes practice and patience, but once you’ve mastered that indirect gaze, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.
Although the most popular scrying tool is still a crystal ball, you can use any reflective surface in its place. Polished crystals (like quartz or obsidian), pendulums, a bowl of water, and mirrors are readily available and just as effective as a crystal quartz sphere.

• Cleanse your Home with Purifying Herbs
I like to use Palo Santo sticks or spray, Sage, Essential Oils and Crystals to balance the energy of a room. But how often do we waft that smoke into every nook and cranny in our house?
I’m guessing not as often as we’d like.
When we spend long periods at home, we need to clean more often—both physically and energetically. Try freshening up your space by lighting some eucalyptus leaves, a palo santo stick, or a sage bundle to realign the energetic footprint of your home. ** I have items available in my store, look under “witchy things.” 

• Awaken your Inner Artist
Boredom often stems from stagnancy. Because we live in a society that allows action and productivity to determine self-worth, we start to feel unworthy when we aren’t busy.
But the goddess in all of us knows that’s untrue.
Taking a break from the daily grind feels unnatural until we remember that we are meant to dream, play, and create. Artistic endeavors, no matter the outlet, are a great way to unwind and can serve as a form of meditation.
Like the spider, witches were talented weavers—responsible for weaving the fates. One way to reacquaint ourselves with a divine feminine archetype is take up a hobby such as knitting, crocheting, or macramé. Or, if you’re a natural word witch, lean into your passion—whether it be poetry, short stories, or letter writing. maybe Journaling.
If you’re feeling creative but not sure where to start, try browsing through some online art classes on free sites to see what draws you in. ** I have really been drawn to painting, I took an online class. 

• Practice Your Magic
It probably goes without saying, but we mustn’t forget to practice what we preach. What good are tarot cards or a bookcase full of occult books if they’re left to collect dust all day?
Try to dedicate at least 15 minutes of your day to some sort of magical working. Depending on your practice, that could mean lighting a candle, pulling a three-card tarot spread, or creating a sigil to wear on your gorgeous face while you’re practicing your goddess make-up skills. No matter where your joy is have fun.

Blessed be …
