where's Krimsa been?

Hey guys. Just checkin' in since I'm home for a couple of days. Hope you are all doing well. Anything new? Looks like no one has posted here for a couple of days. Where is everyone?

Hi (((Ruth))) great to see you IDK I think we lost everyone to the abyss of general religion

Well, we always knew there wasn't much to talk about here. I mean, there's just nothing to argue about.

Oh there's lots to argue about. However nothing ever gets solved.

Round and round we go.

I've got a pretty interesting story about a spell I tried to do while Mercury was in retrograde. I should know better than to attempt this, but I figured since it was the same day Mercury was going direct I could "sneak" it in. It didn't work. I kept forgetting things, repeating myself and missing steps. It ended with the glass candle plate spontaneously exploding into three pieces on my altar and starting a small fire. I had charred herbs and candle wax everywhere.

ooohhh noooo what spell was it?

Nothing major. Just a tarot card spell I wanted to try. I've been spending most of my free time (what little I have of it) on studying the Craft, making inventories of all my supplies and actually working spells for practice. Practice makes perfect. Or causes small fires.

I haven't been nearly as involved as I want to be. Not a lot of free time and lately I just can't focus. Right now I'm just kinda putting my attention on me and vegging out whenever I can. I seriously don't have the energy to do a spell.

Oh I totally understand that. I spent very little time last year studying and practicing. It's just the right time for me to really start up again. I never try to force it.

I miss it, but not enough to get back in it, ya know? It's not that I'm giving up or getting away from it, I just need a break right now.

Really, you have no idea how much I understand. Don't force it. Not actively working it doesn't mean you have lost interest.

I think it's the winter blues

It could be. It really doesn't matter why. The important thing is to not beat yourself up about it. If you feel like you miss it you can do some really easy things. Like just getting some candles and lighting one when you are home and stating your "wish" out loud. Then just walk away. Just don't forget to blow it out if you leave.

I have been doing that, and it helps. That's about all I've got in me right now. But it does help.

good. Then don't worry about it. I know I have a tendency to beat myself up when I think I'm not doing enough. But, I think it's important to have down time....when you're not studying and not practicing and just "being".

That's exactly right. I'm just "being" right now... and that's enough.

Yes, it is. Okay, I gotta run and pick up my daughter from school. I will ttyl. It's really good to see you, Jill.

Great to see you too Ruth. Have a great rest of the day

Blessed be to all.
