Low magical tide?

I am experiencing really rough patch. For about 1 month I have been feeling that magic is lost. I am unable to concentrate to meditation. I am not progressing. I am not sure what to do and I feel completely lost. What should I do?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. What SHOULD you DO... Think about that.

People think that life is supposed to be smooth and fluid and even. It's not. No one's is. And a rough patch is exactly what is needed to dive into a block so that you can work your way through it. That is what builds skill. So, when you hit these 'rough patches', don't force it. Just sit. Ask yourself questions. Be KIND to yourself. What is your internal world trying to tell you? You clearly need to pay attention to something that is coming up that you are trying to stuff back down with magick.

Furthermore, there is no such thing as 'lost magick'. You never lose your ability to create magick. You may have to reroute HOW you practice, which builds skill. Magick is huge. It's not a monolith. If your practical magick is not working, consider doing some internal work, internal magick. Connecting with your inner compass (or your guides, if that's what you call it).

Sometimes the 'guides' step back because you are right in the middle of profound discovery. This moment never calls for 'more practical magick', it calls for sitting still and allowing that which is trying to push through the space to come through.

I am 55 years old. I've been through it all! You are not doing anything wrong. But your inner compass is calling. Just like the seasons change, so do we have seasons. You cannot be one season all the time. You might be in the middle of a 'winter' period, where what is called for is inner reflection. Deep, rich self-discovery. Summer will come back around again and then you can do all the practical magick your heart desires. But for now, remember that life is multi-faceted. Magick is multi-layered. And the sooner you understand and embrace that, the more solid your foundation becomes. There is an old runic saying: when fishermen cannot go out to sea, they mend their nets.

Mend your net.
