Rituals and Wreckage

Life isnt always spell casting and grounding circles. For a lot of people, its nothing but school runs and dishes with a slap in the face of laundry. My practice has been very minimal these last few weeks, minus one AMAZING grounding nature walk and making my new spell jars. I found the largest sycamore tree ever on the back of our property and sat with it and our miniature water falls for a while. It was such a beautiful and peaceful experience that I cant wait to do again.

Practice wise though, Im at a complete standstill. Adjusting to new medication, setting up the chickens and my new garden, and just overall stress from a toddler mom has me unable to complete tasks most days. The toddler tantrums are in full swing now. The only word he will say anymore is “no” or “im hungry”. I am at my wits end. I’m also trying desperately to focus on my physical health right now as I’ve learned my body is not in good condition at all. Life is just… well…. chaos. A wreck if you will. Hence, Rituals and Wreckage.

Scheduling

I have been struggling to come up with a weekly schedule to try and ground myself a bit. Hoping that giving myself time blocks like a grade schooler will increase productivity. So far not so good, but it is getting there. Also, with the daily toddler tantrums leading to my son being kicked from child watch, my mornings have been thrown into chaos. A broken washer has also made cleaning a hinderance and blocked me from continuing my practice as well. Its just one thing after another. After a hard days work between my husband and I this Sunday, we got the main living areas cleaned up and its allowed me to take a small breather.

I am still trying to figure out if an hour by hour or daily schedule would be better. Between chaotic kid school schedules and trying to get my business off the ground, It is 1000% a struggle to find a cohesive balance. I also am battling batch making items such as posts, pins, blogs, and meals. I didnt realize how expensive it was to get everything needed to meal prep though. Its about as expensive as starting my own witchcraft store! Ontop of which is something I have hardcore been debating. I want to make it a goal to open my own shop eventually I think. A mix of a spiritual store but with a holistic/herbal twist. And I want to add in the “refill store” aspect as well. A small tea room in the back for weekly tea and seance or ritual practice. OH WHAT A DREAM!!!! Now to start making money to save towards that…..

Bringing it Back

ANYWAYYYYYYYYYY Off topic there a bit. Im wanting to start incorporating magic back into my every day life. Remembering to stir my intention into my morning shake, washing away bad energy in the shower, a small candle and manifestation ritual or a thank you to the universe. I would love to eventually do large scale rituals with a whole large circle and a room full of candles. I’ve got too many crotch goblins running around for that right now.

A really important ritual I need to start taking is reflection. Looking into myself and praising the accomplishments Ive had through the week and reflecting on my failures for future growth. I am hoping this will be another good motivator for me and benefit my mental health. If you cant tell by the chaos of my writing this week, my focus on anything is completely fried. I need a momcation…

Cleanliness

I’ve said it once and I will say it again, cleaning your home, your body, and your mind are key in boosting spiritual practice in my opinion. If any of these three things are out of wack, my spiritual practice goes out the window. I want the strongest and purest form of myself to go into my practice. I know. I know, the Virgo in my demands perfection. We are battling it its FINEEEE. I try to remember I am human and something will always be out of wack so I need to overcome that, but that’s what therapy is for. It has been to cold to go do nature therapy.

And With That

Something to focus on this week is, how much are you devoting to your spritual practice. Is it adequate for you or do you want to dive more into it? I am debating on working a weekly live into my tiktok with small ritual or reflection to help others. Let me know if you would be interested! With that, thank you so much for following along with my chaos and have an AMAZING week! Also, Feel free to follow my Tumblr for little posts!
