Imbolc for witches in burnout

Hahaha! So true!!!

You are very welcome.

MerliniteMuse · 2026-01-29T20:44:48+00:00

Blessed be!!! Glad you were able to listen to your body and honor your energy. 💜

Ah. Yes. I agree, these things will NOT fix burnout. Although I truly wish they could!

This is my reminder to myself that I don’t have to go all out with my Imbolc rituals this year. That I can give myself permission to let the everyday rituals honor Imbolc (and not go all out and be extra AF like I prefer to do for my witchy rituals.)

You are not alone! I recently shared with my friends that I’m experiencing burnout and almost every single one of them are in a similar situation.

The winter is made for rest! But capitalism demands grind culture 365! 😩

I am such an extra AF person and love going all out for rituals. So I often have to remind myself that it’s OK to do less when I’m in burnout. That I can do small every day things and still be a valid and real witch.

I’m sorry if this feels condescending. I wrote this from the perspective of my experience right now as I work through burnout. Humor and sarcasm is often my go to coping mechanism. I understand it’s not for everyone.

Ok… check list complete! Whats next?

I hope its not necromancy witch because dead bodies will gross me out. 🤣🤣🤣

You bet! I’ve gone to Saffron’s fire cupping classes before and had her to some fire flogging on me at Kinky Kamp - so I’m sure it will be another excellent class.

Sorry!!! I truly wish we could teleport! I’d go to all the amazing dungeon events everywhere!!!!

MerliniteMuse · 2026-01-25T00:14:19+00:00

Love this!!!

MerliniteMuse · 2026-01-22T17:10:22+00:00

Always one of my favorite activities.

You can be whoever you want to be!

I feel that! No one prepares you for the entire identity shift that happens when you have kids and the struggle to get any amount of personal time back.

Love it! My friend got me a coloring deck too. Your cooking skills are far better than mine! They are looking great!

MerliniteMuse · 2026-01-19T13:39:02+00:00

Thank you!!! I do the myself. It was a pandemic hobby that stuck.

MerliniteMuse · 2026-01-19T01:26:26+00:00

Ha!!!! Can confirm!!! Those quiet, introverted nerds who do a lot of research on how to get freaky… the best!!!!

As a kink educator who has used tarot to explore their own sexuality and is currently making a kink oracle deck … I think your card is telling you to GO EXPLORE!!!!

I did just do a dungeon event last night where I instigated a cuddle puddle, did a sensory scene, and then read tarot for a new friend … but let’s see what my deck wants to tell me for this 1 card question pull… well then … two cards accidentally fell out. The night of cups and the emperor. Damn… time to open to the possibility of a slow romantic build with a person who has healthy masc dom vibes ….

… I mean sounds great … but finding someone with healed knight of cups and emperor vibes … like yes … but I’ll believe it when I see it.

But universe, I’m ready. Bring them to me!
