Witchcraft For The Chronically Fatigued

Witchcraft for the Chronically Fatigued

Fatigue looks at things such as tiredness, drowsiness, exhaustion, weakness, lethargy and memory issues and says “I can do all that and more!”. It leaves you feeling utterly trapped in your own body; unable to move, or even think at times. It fluctuates, but is always looming.

While this post is open for all, it is written for those who truly relate to this all-consuming feeling (due to ME/CFS, other chronic illnesses, mental illness, or undiagnosed causes). Not all of these may work for you, but hopefully they inspire something that will. For general low energy witchcraft, check out my Bedridden Witch Series!

As always: witchcraft is to be used in addition to proper medical care, treatment and medication; not as a sole alternative.

To draw energy:

If you cannot produce your own, magically created will be just fine!

Crystals.

I tend to use clear quartz for an energy boost, but trust your intuition; if something calls to you, it’s for a reason.

Keep it near your bedside table, under your pillow, hold it in your hand or place it on your body where you feel the fatigue most strongly centered.

When on the go, carry it in your pocket or wear as jewelry. If it is larger, carry in a bag and hold it when you need it.

Charge using a charging board or the elements.

Crystals for fatigue

Waters.

Physically touching water brings me energy. I keep jars of snow, rain, storm, river, stream (etc, etc.) water and will dip my fingers in it and mark that parts of my body where the fatigue feels strongest. Be aware of pollutants and do not ingest!

The same method can be done with tap water (or water charged under the sun or moon)

Drink sun water or sun tea (start with drinking safe water and let it absorb the energies of the sun).

Some people find moon water to be energizing (same process as above, just with the moon).

Other elements.

Note what is energizing to you and what is draining to you. Consider: the sun, moon (and it’s phases), weather (rain, overcast, snow, storm, wind), cold vs. hot, the earth, fire, air, etc.

Once you find which elements are energizing to you, find ways to incorporate them into your life. Examples: jars of different waters or soils, rocks collected from places, candles, and more.

I usually draw energy up from the earth by placing my palms flat towards the earth by the sides of my body. So if I was lying down, my arms would be at my sides with my palms facing down.

Expose yourself or protect yourself. I’ll use my personal experiences as an example here… Rain often energizes me. When it rains, I’ll open my windows, and if I’m able I’ll step outside or collect some water. On the flipside, full moons often drain me. I’ll close my windows and curtains, hang an extra blanket over my bedroom window, use water to paint protective sigils on the window and increase my wards.

Practicing the craft with energy limitations:

Tips and tricks:

I highly recommend preparing things when your energy allows, so it’s always ready to go when you need it (and isn’t dependent on current energy levels).

Cleansing: Let other things do your work for you. Open your windows/get fresh air, steam or smoke, sound, etc. Bedridden energy cleansing.

Divination: Use apps when physical movement is hard. One card spreads, shorten your pendulum so you don’t need to lift your arm, divine using the elements, etc. Bedridden divination.

Spells: Make your own spell kits. Spell jars and sachets are also an excellent way to already have the spell prepared, set it up so you can simply shake it to re/activate the spell.

Warding: Create physical ties for your wards that aren’t reliant on consistent upkeep (as a failsafe), and reinforce your other ward layers when you have the energy. I create far more layers than I need so when I am unable to reinforce them, they still protect me.

Worship: Compile prayers and devotions somewhere you can easily find and read them, have a wall altar for easy maintenance, keep offerings simple (a glass of water, for example). Bedridden worship.

Most of you don’t know but I’m severely bipolar (it works for anything not just bpd!) but my broke ass can’t afford a doctor 🤷🏻‍♀️ if I don’t have weed this app is a godsend it helps me calm down and have my own space. You can customize almost everything, from the little “games” to your skin color to the cute kitty (i named him Everest). On top of that there’s tarot, moon phases, and your own altar and it’s p neato. I’m bad at explaining but omg please check this app out

Witchy Update!

so apparently witchtok is a bad place to get info about witchcraft, and i have gathered a vast majority of my current knowledge from tiktok and pinterest should i be concerned?

I don’t intend on working with deities or gods, I’m choosing to stick to spells, spirituality, maybe some divination, connecting with nature, etc. I’ve heard that intent matters most, but i just want to be on the safe side because I am not trying to summon fae or do some of the crazy things people have warned me against.

Easy to Find Witch Supplies!

So, not all of us are able to be open with our practice, and others of us just flat out don’t have money to dole out to buy supplies. That being said, here are some low-cost or straight up free supplies! **Note: Some of these involve my personal associations.**

Tiny glass bowls: You can literally find this at the dollar store and use them as offering bowls!

Twigs: You can use these to make wreaths, wands, holders for things, etc., and you can also use them in spells that involve banishment, separation, etc.!

Grass: Represents interconnection

Old mason jars: Storage for your herbs, crystals, etc.

Tea light candles: You can find these pretty much anywhere, and they come in bulk for cheap!

Kitchen herbs: You don’t have to go all out and by the tall containers of these; you can just go to the grocery store and buy a set of the small ones!

Air-dry Clay: Crayola sells this for cheap, and you can use this to make lots of things! Amulet coins, tiny bowls, figures, and more!

Old T-Shirts’s fabric: You can recycle old t-shirts and use them to make poppets or herb sachets!

Ribbon, twine, the likes: These can be used in wand-decoration, knotting spells, as sachet string, and literally anything else.

Tea Leaves: Teas are so varied with so many different properties, there’s pretty much infinite value here.

Seeds: Sunflower and pumpkin seeds are easy to find (because they’re snacks), and these have their own properties themselves!

Leaves: Whether they’re fresh off a tree (be respectful with that!), have fallen to the ground, or have completely dried up, leaves have lots of uses! Dried up leaves, for example, can be used in spells related to ending something, “death,” new beginnings, etc.

Witchy Things You Probably Did Before Learning/Realizing You Were A Witch:

Talk to trees or animals/Connect with nature and/or animals as if they were your friends🌿🐾

Use leaves to make "potions" and magical concoctions🍵

Make wishes with candles and/or above mentioned potions🕯

Pretend that your food or drink was a magic potion of power or whatever you had wished for, lol 🥘🧃

Pretend to be a witch, goddess, powerful being, forest/water nymph, mermaid, or some celestial/"mythical" being🧚‍♀️🧜🏻‍♀️🧞‍♂️🧝🏽‍♂️

Try to see if you could control the weather with your emotions ⛈

Try to move things with your mind or read other peoples 🧠

Talk to the sun, moons, stars, etc. ⭐🌙☀️

Write spells, chants, or incantations in your notebook or on paper (or napkins, lol) 📜

Notice things you have spent time thinking about seem to happen the way you thought it would or wished it would (maybe sometimes how you wished it wouldnt have turn out *unconsciously manifesting the negative*) 💭

Experience dream deja vu and/or dream messages 🛌

Believed in ghosts and spirits or had some sort of supernatural experience(s) 👻

Collected Rocks, seashells, twigs, etc🐚

Looked for or was more frequently drawn to supernatural/mystical/mythical based books 🔮

Had memories that you couldnt explain or were too young to have and/or had *visions that were true or came true 👁

There are plenty more examples, these are just a few that I could think of on the spot 🤓, please reblog or comment with your own 😬🦋🧿🔮🌙🍃
