0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to seeking witchcraft. I'm your host, Ashley, and today I'm going to be
0:04.9	talking about waxing, waning, and balancing your craft. Specifically, I'll be talking about how to
0:09.9	incorporate the craft in your life when you're limited on time, ways to not let witchcraft completely
0:15.3	take over your life, which I will explain. I'm sure you're probably wondering what that means.
0:19.2	And also talking generally about just
0:21.4	giving yourself some grace if you find yourself waxing and waning with your practice. So let's go ahead and
0:27.1	start. So the first thing I want to talk about is not letting witchcraft take over your life. And as I said,
0:33.7	I know this is probably a little bit of a confusing thing. So what I mean by this is
0:38.1	witchcraft is fun, exciting, and it's obviously something of interest to all of us, aka you,
0:45.3	the listeners, and myself. And whether you're brand new to the craft or have been in it for years,
0:51.2	witchcraft can very easily become an escape into yourself and potentially a group of
0:56.2	friends if you're in a coven or a social club related to this, where you can practice magic,
1:02.0	commune with the gods, and feel like your most authentic and primal self, you know, depending on the
1:06.7	direction you take with the craft. And this sounds great, right? You know, while this is an exciting
1:12.1	thing to immerse yourself into, it's also important that we're not running away to the craft
1:18.0	and ignoring real life responsibilities. And what I mean by this is it's important to make sure that
1:24.2	you're keeping yourself grounded with your real life along with your magical life. You know, if you're at work and you're sneakily reading a book on witchcraft
1:32.3	instead of working or daydreaming about activities with your coven when you should be
1:37.2	paying attention in class or making craft supplies or incense or what have you, when you should
1:42.5	be working on other important yet mundane tasks
1:45.5	or ultimately just blowing off mundane responsibilities to engage in the craft instead,
1:50.8	this could be a sign of an imbalance in your life and it's important to take a step back and reevaluate.
