How to Get Back to Your Practice After Falling Off

Life Happens.

One day you’re pulling daily cards and cleansing your space...
The next? Your altar has a takeout bag on it and your last spellwork was during the last Mercury Retrograde.

Hey. You’re not a bad witch.
You’re a human one.

Let’s Talk About It

Witchcraft isn’t a productivity metric.
There’s no punishment for “not practicing enough.”
But if you miss the connection, the rituals, the grounding—here’s how to find your way back.

5 Simple Ways to Reconnect:

Light a Candle.
Just one. Whisper “I’m here.” That’s a ritual.
Talk to Your Tools.
Greet your tarot deck, hold a crystal, or wipe down your altar. Let them know you missed them.
Do One Small Thing.
Stir intention into your coffee. Say a charm while brushing your hair. It counts.
Revisit Your Why.
Ask: “What do I want from my practice?” Not “What should I be doing?”
Forgive the Gap.
No shame. No guilt. Just magic, waiting patiently for you to return.

A Gentle Spell to Restart Your Practice:

You’ll Need:

A white candle
A cup of tea or water
Your favorite magical tool (a deck, herb, charm, etc.)

The Spell:

“I return to myself,
Without apology.
I return to my craft,
With love and curiosity.
I return to the path,
And it welcomes me home.”

Final Thoughts:

Falling off doesn’t mean falling out.
Your magic isn’t gone—it’s just quiet.
And now, it’s ready to speak again.

So go light that candle, witch.
We’ve got things to do. 💫
