Stagnation

Hello all. Has anyone here ever gone through a stagnation in thier magickal workings? Not in regards to success, but an actual slow or down time where there wasn't any inspiration to do anything? What do you do if you ever need to get going again? What jump starts your magickal engines?

I've found my enthusiasm waxes and wanes regularly. I've come to accept that there are times when I get caught up in the mundanitites of life, or am simply absorbing things rather than actively engaging. I've come to tolerate these periods and regard tham as a recharging phase.

To break the slump I suggest just getting out an experiencing things. See live music, go hiking, take up a new sport or get back into an old one, go camping, or travel to a new city. Even just walking around different parts of your own town. Absorb the experiences - don't try to make them magickal. They will inform your being on a subconscious level and you will return to magick with new motivation.

Basically: Live a little.

Another good use of the fallow time is to write down your experiences. This is both not magickal and very magickal. It allows you to integrate your experiences and evaluate your progress. It could very well lead you to things you want to do more of of things that you want or need to work on.
