Magic blocks?

Hi guys, just wondering, have you ever had periods of time where you couldn't do magic at all? And if you have, how long did it last for and what caused it? Cheers, Book

I never had anything like that happen before, maybe take some time to ground and center yourself.

I happens to experience it once but it never happen again

I think most magic practitioners hit that wall at least once in their life. There can be a lot of reasons why it happens. Stress, illness, questioning your magic, and other things totally mundane can make it difficult for us to do magic because our minds are tied up with something else. This year with Covid there are lots of people experiencing really high levels of stress so I expect you aren't the only one who is feeling magically blocked.

When this happens it is useful to take stock of your physical and emotional state to see if there is something there that is making it difficult for you to do magic. If you find something, work to alleviate it so it isn't having such an impact on you. I highly recommend Mindfulness Meditation as a method of doing this and also for helping you be more in the moment and not worrying about past or future. It's a great way to help yourself be more grounded and centered.

And if you want to do magic, I would hold off on anything major for now. Go back to the basics of grounding, centering, and simple energy manipulation. Gradually work up to the more complex over time. If you keep trying to do magic and failing it will only add to your stess levels and make things even more difficult for you.

I've personally not so much had times where I can not do magic, but more so times where I am not really motivated to do it.

If I cast a spell I tend to see results, I simply do not feel the want to write and cast a spell.

It's like that with divination for me too. If I do not find myself motivated to do it a certain day, then I won't. It's been a week since I've engaged in divination. I had pulled a rune for today last week. I received my answer.

We all need a break once in awhile. All I did today was copy a few things into a new Bos.

I take this lack of motivation, or these blocks to be an indication to rest.

Blessings.

Thanks guys for the help and advice!
