From the Pit of Ennui

Category: Mama Kelly's Musings | Written by Mama Kelly

I am still dealing with a rather bad case of blogger’s block. Things are happening, but nothing that really seems blog-worthy. Life-wise I am for the most part in a rut. Week to week my life is pretty much the same – I go to work, I come home, I watch TV, I sleep poorly, only to get up and do it again.

I find that when I start to write a post (and I can’t tell you how many of them I have given up on halfway through) I invariably give up on it because it’s too boring, or too whiny, or simply feels too hypocritical.

The truth of the matter is that my life is rather un-Witchy.

I do not work with like-minded folk and with the exception of the occasional utterance of an “Oh Sweet Goddess” that may erupt from my lips, my faith is not discussed there.

I am in the closet at home and so I do not get to really act on or experience my faith there either, outside of my own inner world.

I do not have a coven to belong to, nor friends to worship with. Lady Rose and I get together when we can and our visits are generally filled with laughter and conversation but we do not do ritual together at this stage in our lives.

It is something that I need to figure out a way to change.

In the meantime I am looking forward to an upcoming weekend trip to visit our friend “E” and hit the Maryland Renaissance Festival and hoping that it stirs the Witch within a bit, or at least gives me something to talk about.

Blessings

PS While sulking here in my pit of ennui I cleaned through my email accounts and found out that I am the winner of a wonderful and WITCHY print from the lovely Tollipop …. I can’t tell you how happy I am over this win. Not only am I fan of her blog, and a fan of her art, but I cannot help but smile a bit over the coincidence of winning this particular print.

i feel exactly the same way on all fronts. i do not unfortunately have too many witchy friends. just one, who I am hoping will go to the witch’s ball with me. I could get more involved with groups but I always feel a little shy to just go to a ritual where I don’t know anyone.

Just know that you are not alone. I have been struggling on what to write on my blog as well.

Hopefully this month will give us the push we both need.

I guess everyone feels the same from time to time, me included! But please don’t think too much before posting! LOL Your words are always priceless and relevant to me, and for many blogger friends, I’m sure.

Kisses from us!

Heh… I live in the Bible belt so I understand your feeling of isolation – at least you have places to go to escape that isolation. I don’t think we have Ren Faires out here in the midwest that often.

I’ve been so busy with some coursework that I’m 3 weeks behind (again) on my journaling. I had wanted to work on scrapbooking some memories and writing in my BOS… but that hasn’t happened.

At least there’s a full moon this weekend. I think we’ll do a bonfire in our backyard, have a chat with Sister Moon, wave at the fire fairies, and roast marshmallows. That’s the extent of our rituals – and it works quite nicely for our family for now.

You’re not alone in feeling your life is ‘unwitchy’ I think. And frankly I’d be suspicious of someone who was being visibly ‘witchy’ all of the time because we are living in the modern world, with all its demands, and there are simply many situations that don’t call for spells, or cloaks, or all the spiritual drag as it were. Spirituality informs our lives; spirituality is not what our lives are. Spirituality is of central importance to people like us; it informs, it does not dictate what we do. For some it might. But they are not the majority, any more than most Catholics are priests. x
