This (simple discussion question) is for any practitioners who do magic/witchcraft as a spiritual/lifestyle choice, and generally try to practice magic every day in some way or another (as opposed to someone who just does a spell here and there to help their lives...which is not a "bad" way to be, just not the same thing).
When you're stressed out, do you find yourself doing more spiritual/magical stuff or less?
I'll go first.
When I'm stressed, I stop doing pretty much everything. Like, not just magic, everything. The only exception is feeding Incog and the cats (and involuntary actions that we all have to deal with regardless of our mental state). I tend to go inside myself and stew, which of course makes things worse, but I can't seem to break the habit.
Our car broke again, and then it seemed like everything was breaking. My favorite bra broke. I broke the only needle I have for weaving in the ends of my knitting/crochet. We live in the middle of nowhere, and the closest grocery store is a 20 minute drive, so we were relying on a food subscription for some of our groceries, and they fucked up the shipping, so we had to take $70 from the car fixing budget to cover the cost of the groceries we have to order (but it turned out fine bc our car cost came in about $200 short of the car fixing budget). Like, just tons of stuff.
(I know that all this trouble can be a sign of other things going on in my spiritual life, but that's not the focus of this discussion, so let's stay away from that topic for this thread.)
I WANT to be able to, like, meditate, cast a spell, divine how things are going to work out, but instead, I smoke a lot of weed (which is legal here) and stew. But what about you?
