There will be times in our practice that we feel like we need to take a step back, take a break. There can also be times where we just neglect it. It could be because life happens or because we feel like our practice is daunting and time consuming and we just don't have the energy for it. In a world of we always need to be "doing", we can feel like we aren't the Witch we claim to be if we aren't practicing our craft every lunar cycle, sabbat or magickal astrological event. What can we do to reconnect to our practice when the time is right and make it not feel like the chore list our parents gave us on summer break before we could go play? Join April as she talks about having your Hermit moment, being ok with taking a break and ideas of how you can reconnect to the craft.
