I need some advice. I'm very concerned about my magic. I'm starting to not be able to do even simple spells. Its scarring me this has happened before but I just thought it was because of a traumatic experience that I had but it over time I was able to do magic but I'm not sure what to do now can anyone please tell me what to do?
Blessed be
Can you give any more information? What would you consider "doing simple spells?" Does that mean you are having trouble performing them, or you can't get through them, or you are having trouble building energy, or you don't see as high a rate of success as before, or there's a certain feeling or emotion or personal power missing from it?
Do you feel that the traumatic event has somehow blocked you mentally or spiritually? Are you harboring negative energies that are sapping you or blocking you? Do you have any emotional or spiritual attachments or baggage, maybe due to the event in question?
To start, I would begin by attempting to counter it. Perform a meditation or ritual or whatever you feel comfortable doing. Start by cleansing yourself with a bath, some appropriate oils and herbs, then clean your space with something like a smudging.
Do what it is that you do to get the ball rolling, but I strongly suggest "finding" the culprit in your mind. Give it a face, a body, a name. Know it. Once you have completely envisioned it, whatever it truly is, you may take control over it. Visualize imprisoning it in radiant white light, and then shrink that white light until it's the size of the moon, which is currently waning.
Visualize it trapped there as the moon slowly phases out. On the night of the new moon, you should find yourself feeling a bit of a burden gone from you. This will open you up to perform some kind of a working during the waxing moon to start bringing yourself back up to speed, and hopefully the next full moon will see you at a new high point.
If visualization and meditation is not your normal methodology, you can substitute it for whatever you normally do. Knot magick, candle magick, etc. or some other method of sympathetic magick could be useful here.
Good luck to you, and if you wish I will add you to my weekly working coming up this Monday.
Basically I try a simple spell like drawing energy around me to me yet it get harder and harder to do and some Times I can't feel the energy. My boyfriend committed suicide two years ago so after that I wasn't able to do anything at all for a year finally I can but Its starting to back like it was before
Magic is all about will. Even simple doubt can slowly erode your ability to perform magic. At this point I would recommend to take a bit of a brake. learn to trust yourself and your choices in life more. usually that's all it takes when life hands you a bad hand. to be fair I feel bad about questioning the trust in yourself but that is usually the culprit in these cases. feel free to pm me if you ever need someone to talk to and ill try my best to help
I agree with kali's idea about doing a cleansing. I would also do a protective spell to keep out negative influences like casting a circle, a candle spell, or a ward made by sprinkling crushed mustard seed, lucky hand root, and garlic powder across entryways to your home.
