In everyone’s practice i believe it’s important to have wards for protection and closing circles while doing spells. But lately it seems my wards aren’t working as they should and my methods aren’t working any tips?

Merry Monday Morning Foxgloves,

I was not quite sure what “wards” meant. After looking at what it is/means; I have 2 suggestions.

My first thought is that maybe it is time to change your deities. I have to change mine occasionally, I have my “go-to”'s but sometimes need a little different energy. The second thing I thought, was that maybe you need to “cleanse/charge/recommit” the tools you are using.

We all have “stagnant” times, and I would not take it as a “refusal” or “ignoring” from the cosmos. You may just need a rest…you, or your tools, or maybe the cosmos needs a little break, who knows?

Hope this helps out a little; but bottom line of what I am trying to say, do not take it harshly, it may just be something as simple as a break.

Lady Gene 🦋

Oh yes… both are of critical importance.

Lady Gene has said pretty much all that I was going to say, lol. All are possibilities. It could be just a need to “recharge.” We all go through up and down times. It’s possible it’s a sign you need to evolve your practice - a spiritual path is _never_ static. I am a perfect example myself! LOL…

Take it easy perhaps, and be kind to yourself! 🪷

Thank you both im currently finding and learning new methods by the day. It concerned me for a minute for I thought maybe my practice had grown stagnant but ive pretty much found my problem and am now trying my best to solve it!
