Why Change a Letter From the Practitioner | Spiritual Burnout
Why I Changed: A Message from the Practitioner
For over 18 years, I poured myself into this work with everything I had—not just the ritual, not just the spellcraft, but the human side too. I answered late-night calls. I listened to pain that had nowhere else to go. I sat in the shadows with people when they couldn’t face the light. I tried to be everything: the spellcaster, the therapist, the healer, the guide. I took it all on, with love, devotion, and zero boundaries.
I made myself sick for my clients.
It wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t for show. It was the slow kind of burnout, the kind that creeps up and hollows you out, because you’re too busy tending the fires of everyone else’s transformation to notice your own is flickering. I kept going. I kept saying yes. I kept sacrificing. Until I couldn’t anymore.
The Burnout I Survived
Spiritual burnout is real, especially for those of us who live this life—not as a hobby, but as a vocation. I wasn’t just casting spells. I was emotionally anchoring people through heartbreak, trauma, obsession, grief. I became their confidante, their coach, their crisis response team, all while conducting heavy spellwork and ritual.
The result? Collapse. Silence. Numbness. The energy that once flowed through my body like fire turned cold. I had given so much of myself, I couldn’t hear my own spirit anymore.
And no client, no matter how grateful, was there to pick up the pieces. That’s when I realized: no one will protect the practitioner except the practitioner.
What Makes Me Different Now
What makes me different from the amateurs and hacks out there isn’t just experience. It’s that I lived through the cost of giving too much—and I didn’t let it kill me. I let it teach me.
So now? I’ve changed.
• I don’t take shit from clients.
• I don’t apologize for my boundaries.
• I don’t perform emotional labor I’m not paid or empowered to give.
• I don’t pretend I’m a therapist.
As a professional witch and spellcaster, I offer my expertise in the craft, understanding that outcomes are subjective and vary. I invoke, I bind, I banish, I command. I support—but I don’t coddle. I deliver—but I don’t beg for your belief.
Why Boundaries Make the Work Stronger
I do the real work. And I do it better than most because I’ve been to the edge, and I brought back discipline, not delusion.
My clients today get something sharper, something stronger, something more potent than ever before:
• A practitioner who doesn’t burn out because they’re finally aligned with their power.
• A ritualist who brings focused energy—not scattered sympathy—to the working.
• A force who holds you accountable.
My practice focuses on maintaining the spiritual integrity of each spell cast for you, aiming to align with your intentions while acknowledging that specific material results are not guaranteed.
I’m still here for you—but I’m not your emotional lifeline. I’m your weapon, your strategist, your conduit. If you want someone to cry with you, find a friend. If you want someone to pull the strings of fate on your behalf, you’ve found
the right one
Because I’ve changed. And the work is stronger for it
