The Hoodoo Truth Thaumaturgic Dysfunction Magical Burnout Why It Happens And What To Do About It
Magical burnout happens to every worker. I call it, "thaumaturgic dysfunction" (thaumaturgy = "working of magic"). Unfortunately there's no little blue pill you can take. If by chance you find that you cannot rise to the occasion then just realize it's natural and that all practitioners of any magical tradition will experience it at some point. So what causes "thaumaturgical dysfunction" or magical burnout? Below is a list of possible reasons.SIGNS OF THAUMATURGIC DYSFUNCTION (MAGICAL BURNOUT)1.) YOU ARE PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTED.If in your mundane life you have had a hard day or week then you may simply be too physically exhausted to perform effective conjure work.2.) YOU HAVE NOT BEEN GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP.Similar to number 1, if you are not getting proper sleep this this will effect all areas of your life, including your conjure work.3.) YOU ARE SICK OR PHYSICALLY ILL.Being sick will sap your strength and energy and will effect your conjure work. 4.) YOU ARE UNDER A LOT OF STRESS.If you are under a lot of stress then it will effect your conjure work. Usually workers who are stressed out cannot concentrate effectively and the stress may make their work go 'wonky'. 5.) YOUR BODY DOESN'T HAVE THE PROPER VITAMINS, MINERALS, ELECTROLYTES, ETC.I know this from personal experience. 6.) YOU ARE EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL OR ANGRY.Emotions can provide an extreme amount of energy to a working but being too emotional may actually prevent you from concentrating and thinking clearly. This will effect your conjure work.7.) YOU'VE BEEN DOING UNJUSTIFIED WORK.Conjure is a gift and if abused it can be taken away by God. 8.) YOU ARE EXPERIENCING AN EPISODE OF DEPRESSION.When you are depressed you have low energy to begin with and this will effect your conjure work.9.) YOU ARE EXPERIENCING AN EPISODE OF HAVING LOW SELF-ESTEEM.10.) YOU ARE DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 11.) YOU'VE BEEN CROSSED OR TIED-UP, HELD-DOWN BY ANOTHER WORKER.12.) YOU'VE CROSSED UP OR TIED UP YOURSELF UNKNOWINGLY.13.) YOU ARE DOING TOO MANY WORKS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.Some people say don't do no more than 3 works a day. I say that even 3 can be too much. Judge your energy level and your level of concentration. One day you may have only energy for 1 work. The next day you may be able to pull off 4 works. It all depends on how you feel when choosing to do the work. TIPS FOR DEALING WITH THAUMATURGIC DYSFUNCTION (MAGICAL BURNOUT):1.) GET PROPER REST.2.) EXERCISE.3.) TAKE VITAMINSS OR MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS.4.) EAT HEALTHY.5.) DO STRESS RELIEVING EXERCISES OR ACTIVITIES.6.) GO FOR A WALK IN NATURE, IF POSSIBLE.7.) MAKE SURE YOU ARE ONLY DOING JUSTIFIED WORK.8.) PERFORM AN UNCROSSING OR CLEANSING.9.) LEARN NEW WAYS OF WORKING. (Don't do the same thing over and over. Ex- If all you do is work with candles then you will eventually get tired of it. Learn new ways of working.)10.) GIVE IT A REST. SET A SPECIFIC TIME, SUCH AS THREE DAYS, A WEEK, TWO WEEKS, A MONTH, ETC., IN WHICH YOU WILL NOT PERFORM ANY WORKS.11.) TAKE A VACATION.13.) RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES FASTER BY GOING SOMEWHERE WITH A LOT OF AMBIENT ENERGY, SUCH AS A FOOTBALL GAME, OR PLACE WITH A LARGE EXCITED CROWD. ANOTHER CHOICE WOULD BE TO GET OUT IN NATURE WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF LIFE PRESENT. THEN YOU SUCK UP THE AMBIENT ENERGY. IT'S NOT HARD BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE A VACUUM TO BEGIN WITH.. THE EXTRA ENERGY WILL AUTOMATICALLY FLOW INTO YOU. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LET IT IN. THE THIRD OPTION IS SEX.14.) WAKE UP YOUR DULLED BRAIN BY FORCING YOURSELF TO DO A NEW ACTIVITY. FOR EXAMPLE, MOST PEOPLE DRIVE THE SAME ROUTE TO WORK EACH DAY. BREAK THAT UP BY CHOOSING A DIFFERENT ROUTE. ANOTHER THING YOU CAN DO IS TO SWITCH THE HAND YOU HOLD YOUR TOOTHBRUSH IN. THIS SOUNDS TRIVIAL BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT IF YOU DO SMALL THINGS LIKE THAT YOUR BRAIN WILL BE AWAKENED AND YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU ARE SUDDENLY MORE ALERT. THE REASON BEING IS THAT ANYTIME YOU DO SOMETHING NEW YOUR BRAIN HAS TO LEARN IT AND PROCESS IT AND THIS REQUIRES IT TO PAY MORE ATTENTION, MEANING YOU ARE MORE ALERT AND RESPONSIVE. THAT SENSATION WILL LAST A GOOD WHILE.
