How are you feeling ?

​We are in such difficult times at the moment with the lockdowns and restrictions due to the current pandemic.
 
Many of us are struggling with our mental health and how to cope through this lockdown, how to cope with the unrest within our community with people who agree with vaccination and those that do not agree fighting with each other all while we are worrying about what the world will look like when this is all over, however long that takes.
 
It is quite a weight on our minds.

We are all struggling in one way or another with limited ability to be able to do what we would usually do to help ourselves navigate through this time. 
 
With the shops locked down we are unable to purchase supplies on the spare of the moment for creative projects or books to read.  This all have to be purchased online and we wait the delivery which is also being held up.
 
We are unable to go and sit in a café watching the world go by.

Some of us are unable to even travel more than 5km's from our home.
 
So here are time magick and mundane things that you can do to create to help.

Release your worries with fire

​​​Get a pen and paper and sit in quiet place.

Have a candle ready and a heat proof container

Light your candle

Ground yourself and take a deep breath

Now write down on the piece of paper all the worries that are floating around in your mind. 

Write down what is troubling you, your fears and your concerns.

Feel the energy of those thoughts moving into the words that are on the paper.

Now hold the paper to the flame and feel them leaving you are the paper ignites.

​Place the burning paper within the heatproof bowl watching it turn to ash.
 
Now, on another piece of paper write down your hopes and dreams.

Write down how you can use this time in a positive manner.

What can you do to work towards your dreams, for example learning a craft, reading and investigating an interest you’ve had, delve into your ancestry, start growing your own herbs etc.

Almost like a to do list.

Hold onto this piece of paper and when you are feeling hopeless and worried about the future, look to the paper you have created and do something to work towards what you hace written.

Have a picnic in your backyard

​My favourite café is down the road from my house and you can phone in an order and pick it up.  Maybe your café is even offered on a delivery service.

Why not set up a picnic area in your backyard.  This was me all set up waiting for my food to arrive.

Grab a picnic rug or blanket, some beautiful pillows, incense burning, your favourite book, a journal, your grimoire, some relaxing music or whatever else makes you feel relaxed.

Get your favourite takeaway lunch and spend some time soaking up the vitamin D and warmth from the sun.  Let it fill you.

You could even set this up at a certain time with friends and they could create the picnic within their yards and you could video call together.

​These are some simple things that you can do to bring about some magick and some kind of normality into your life.
