I do, when I’m depressed. I don’t force myself to practice if I’m feeling disconnected and lacking the passion/desire. I do try to do something witchy every day, even if it’s little.

Over the winter I didn’t do much, because I didn’t want to force it. I’m slowly building back to my practice as my depression chills out.
Hmmm. I actually don’t use any spells or charms that incorporate the third eye because I don’t have a good understanding of the third eye.
Since I don’t have that understanding, I don’t best know how to substitute for it using other ingredients, so I just avoid the spell all together.
Wish I could’ve been more help!
Thank you so much, I hope they’ll be a valuable resource and inspire people to find ways to practice their craft regardless of restrictions (if they want to practice, that is!)
I do not have a post on spirit work and probably wouldn’t make one without someone collaborating because I don’t work with spirits much. My understanding is it already involves a lot of things happening in/using your mind and less physical stuff, so it seems like it could be a good fit when bedridden! 🙂
I’m sorry to hear about your bird and I hope she recovers soon!
This is one of those questions that is great for google, because very few people have this information in their heads! I have no clue which deities from all the different pantheons are associated with birds and would have to google it to give you an answer. Sometimes the internet can provide a far more thorough answer than one person can 🙂
Being bedridden doesn’t make you lazy or useless. In fact, resting is pretty darn productive and useful if you need it 💕
I’m so glad! There needs to be more content out there for disabled/sick/spoonie witches 💕 You aren’t alone!
You’re very welcome, I’m happy that they help!
A lot of the decks I have were either gifted to me, made by a friend, or something too pretty to pass up (Luminous Spirit + Golden Thread). I don’t actually know a whole lot about what decks are out there, I try to keep my eyes covered and my wallet full(er). Gotta avoid the tarot deck lust.
Posting because I’m sure some of my followers know of some awesome decks! 🙂
Even when I was a kid I wanted to be called Mouse, and there was a year where I was going through really bad depression (when my chronic illness was fairly new and I had no clue what was going on with my body and no diagnosis) and mice were appearing everywhere. My bedroom, running over my feet or climbing on me in the forest, running on the hood of my car when I was driving, etc. etc. the last thing was baby mice falling out of my car vents and me trying to care for them (and failing, they were too tiny) then I finally accepted that I needed mice in my life and got my pet mice. Since then the mice interactions have stopped being so extreme but I still feel a bond with little mousies 🐭
Choose one you like and feels like it fits for you and your practice! It could be something you have history with but it doesn’t have to be 🙂
Hmm I’d recommend looking up #communication spells, so you both can communicate clearly and give each other space to both speak and listen!
Chosen, because it’s more true to who you are! 💕
