Occult exhaustion

[Lightlindside]

I'm at a point in my life where I believe in certain things that have become central to my perception of the universe, but the process of seeking and doing the work has lost its meaning. This is largely due to a mental health crisis that took many of my symbols and re-branded them in particularly traumatic ways. I'm rebuilding a sense of self, but it seems to be from a place of feeling like all of the symbols or entities I've collaborated with have lost their vibrancy in my life. I used to have a quiet sense of confidence in my own process, and largely it's been proximity with unhealthy community and interpersonal dynamics that have stolen away that inner fire, and led to a personal collapse.

I know the work is worth doing, and yet I can't bring myself to do it. What has helped you all when you've felt bereft of meaning and drive to revive/explore your 'great work'?

Go to the Roots , conect with the land and study for me, but I think we practices quite different kinds of traditions.
