Time....

Sometimes, it shocks me when I realize how long in this Incarnation I've been on my Path. It seems like yesterday that I found a Sybil Leek book in a used bookstore and realized THAT'S WHAT I THINK!!!!! Not as big of a shock as the weight I've gained since the same time period though

And here I thought I was just being lazy! LOL I find that I don't use a lot of tools either - except candles. I love candles and fire and do so much more candle magic than I used to because it's quick and easy.

When I was younger and had children to attend, I did so much much more outside the house and in. I thought then that once my children were grown I would be this little old lady that sits at home and watches TV with her cats... boy was I wrong! I seem to be even more busy now! So quick and easy works for me.

I find I'm a lot busier now that I'm Retired than when I was Working...probably 'cause I was too tired to START anything;>!
Part with Time comes decreased Energy and you tend to use it more Wisely, even in the Spiritual areas of your life. You want more "Bang" for your "Buck";>.
You also tend to have less Patience with just fardling about. I can remember when it took at least an hour just to get Garbed(Meditation, Ritual Bath,etc). Now, a shower(in the proper Mindset) and some Oil and we're ready to "Rock & Roll";>!
And one thing that is seldom brought up is that almost everyone on the "alt.religion" Path is DRAMA. The sort of dirty secret is we all had to some degree an attraction to the Theatricalness in those Ways. For most of us, that part/phase passes(usually 'cause of the amt of WORK involved,esp if you're mostly Solitary;>).....
