He just wants to play Minecraft

So, I have decided to do a 30 Day Witchy Journal Challenge, to help me relate more to my craft. And, maybe you can learn some new tricks and tips too!  Originally taken from here, but I copied and pasted it instead of reblogging, cause I wanted it to look a bit nicer... 

Day One: What type of witchcraft do you relate to the most? Are there more than one paths you like?

Day Two: Are you a secular witch, or one who incorporates religion into their craft? If you are secular, what spells do you do the most often, and why? if you’re non-secular, which deities do you call on the most, and why?

Day Three: What are five things you have in your room that you can use in a spell or ritual? What could you use them for?

Day Four: Name five of your favourite tools and why you like to use them, If you don’t use any tools, explain why.  

Day Five: If you use herbs in your spells/etc., list three that are safe, and three that are not. Name their correspondences as well.

Day Six: Where did you learn about witchcraft from? Was it something that just kind of appeared into your life, were you born in a witchy family, or did you learn on your own?

Day Seven: Has your craft changed or transformed since you began? Have any of your beliefs or values changed?

Day Eight: Make a wish! Write out one wish or goal you have, and fill it with energy. Lay a crystal that corresponds with it on top (optional), and write about why you want this to happen.

Day Nine: Draw a sigil for success and growth at the top of your page, or paste a picture in if you’re doing this online. Write about one thing that you feel inspires you to grow and succeed.

Day Ten: Do you practice any divination? If so, how has it helped you/affected you? If not, would you like to learn, or is it something that doesn’t interest you?

Day Eleven: Support is a big deal. Do your family members and/or friends support you? If so, how has their support impacted your practice? If not, how do you work around this obstacle?

Day Twelve: Have any advice for new witches or people interested in the craft? Anything you wish you knew before starting your journey?

Day Thirteen: Do you use visualization for spells, meditations, etc.? Why or why not?

Day Fourteen: Do you believe that everyone is capable of manifesting magick? Has this belief affected you and your life?

Day Fifteen: What is one thing witchcraft has taught you? Do you like knowing this, or not?

Day Sixteen: What does being a witch mean to you? What responsibilities do you feel you have as a witch?

Day Seventeen: Do you follow a traditional branch of witchcraft? What does it mean to follow this tradition to you? If you do not, what do you feel impacts your practice the most?

Day Eighteen: Name five simple methods of protection and explain them, Keep this page bookmarked somehow for future use.

Day Nineteen: Do you incorporate witchcraft into everything yo do, or just use it when you feel the need to?

Day Twenty: When something feels wrong/off when casting a spell, what do you do? Are there any other methods of grounding/gaining control that you have heard of?

Day Twenty-One: How do your surroundings change or effect your craft?

Day Twenty-Two: What are your ‘essentials’ for casting?

Day Twenty-Three: Does the moon play any part in your craft? Do you charge anything with it, or center rituals, etc. around the phases?

Day Twenty-Four: Have you ever felt like the world was full of magick, and were in awe? Talk about this, or any time you have felt energy all around you.

Day Twenty-Five: Are you a kitchen witch? If so, what’s your favourite recipe? If not, what witchy title do you like to use the most often? WItches can’t really be sorted into categories, since most of us would fall into more than one/many different ‘types’, so feel free to name as many as you want.

Day Twenty-Six: Ever made a sachet? If so, what were the ingredients? If not, explain the symbolism you find in your favourite crystal or herb.

Day Twenty-Seven: What are your feelings about cursing? Are there any circumstances in which you think cursing would be appropriate/inappropriate? Where do these feelings stem from?

Day Twenty-Eight: Do you work with any spirits? Why or why not?

Day Twenty-Nine: Have you ever changed your mind about something magick-related? Ex: belief in magick, opinion on cursing, etc.

have been making progress under guidance of relative - not directly at least which is something? but it's the same pattern of me only doing things when push comes to shove.

i cannot bring myself to do anything without the factor of fear.

the two things i'm sure of is i'm constantly filled with fear and shame. i avoid things i'm afraid of and are greatly dictated and driven by fear. nothing and any bad habits i do see an ounce of possible change without fear. i'm sure this is not 100% all the time, but it's a majority and it haunts me.

i can't stop thinking about horrible things at the moment even though i do know it doesn't do me any favors to berate myself. Literally being aware of my flaws so far hasn't been able to drive me towards any improvement. Where do i summon the effort? What are other people driven from?

How can I be different? Anyways... since I cannot speak a word out of shame to anyone I care for of it, I'll share it here. So far, the people that are supposed to help give a refund for my sister's accidental double purchase are not responding even though it's their business hours. I will see them in person if necessary.
