the act of daily practice if often very misunderstood. a daily practice does not mean to do spells and rituals every single day in order to be a witch. it is not necessary for a daily practice to be huge or something specifically special.
you may even find yourself so distant from your craft that you put it on pause for weeks, yeah even months. does this make you any less of a witch? does this make you any less powerful? no, absolutely not!
we are human beings. it is absolutely normal to put certain things last, especially when there are more important things for you at the time. perhaps you can't practice witchcraft while studying for exams or during stressful and difficult times. or you just can't bring yourself to practice it for no specific reason at all.
just know that this is so damn normal. you should never feel bad about yourself for pausing your craft. there might be a reason for that you don't yet understand! so don't push yourself too hard.
a way to keep the magic in your life, even after pausing your craft for a while, is by incorporating daily practices into your everyday-routine, even when you're still practicing actively at the moment.
now what does daily practice mean?
daily practices are the things you do on a daily basis, regularly. we'll soon get to how some of these practices can look like.
it can help you to stay in touch with your craft, with your power, you spirit guides, deities, etc. even on days you're not drawn to do actual magical rituals—which is NORMAL and absolutely OKAY.
a few examples of daily practices:
1. stirring intentions in your drinks and foods
2. wearing crystals
3. enchant your jewelry and wear it
4. dress according to today's planet ruler
5. put spell oils on your body or clothes
6. use glamour magic (this can be as simple as drawing sigils or runes on your face with your moisturizer or makeup)
7. light an ancestor, deity or spirit guide candle (if you have one)
8. divination
If you cannot find representations for a given element, remember…
You are supported by a rigid skeleton made of minerals. You are earth.
Your body is over 70% fluid. You are water.
Your lungs take in and expel breath. You are air.
Your blood is warm and your brain runs on electrical impulses. You are fire.
Your essence, however you describe it, resides within you. You are spirit.
You are composed of gifts from every element, and every element is given marvelous life in you.
Never feel that you are insufficiently magical for lack of icons or accoutrements or accessories.
You are ALWAYS magic. You are ALWAYS enough.

As witches, it’s important to prioritize our self-care. Not only does it help us stay in touch with our mind, body, and spirit, but it also allows us to recharge our energy and connect with the universe. Here are some tips to help you create a witchy self-care routine that works for you:
🌸 Start by setting aside some time each day for self-care. Whether it’s 15 minutes or an hour, make sure it’s a time when you can be fully present and relaxed.
🌸 Create a sacred space for your self-care routine. This can be a corner of your room, a cozy spot in your garden, or anywhere that feels calming and peaceful to you.
🌸 Incorporate nature into your self-care routine. Take a walk in the woods, collect herbs and flowers for a bath or tea, or simply sit outside and breathe in the fresh air.
🌸 Use your senses to connect with your body and surroundings. Light candles, burn incense, listen to calming music, or indulge in your favorite scent.
🌸 Try out different self-care practices and see what resonates with you. This can include yoga, meditation, tarot reading, journaling, or anything else that helps you feel centered and grounded.
🌸 Don’t forget to nourish your body with healthy food, hydration, and rest. Our physical health is just as important as our spiritual health.
Remember, self-care is not selfish - it’s essential for our well-being and our ability to be of service to others. Take the time to care for yourself so that you can continue to thrive and spread your light in the world. 🌟✨
