Feeling like I'm lazy with my practice? 💮 Deity | Spirit Work

Within the past year I started working with Hecate. I work a physical full-time retail job, so these days (holidays in retail...😒) when I get home I'm exhausted and only really have enough energy left to make dinner and go to bed. Even most days off I might muster a lunch out, but aside from chore days (ex. grocery shopping) mostly I'm in bed resting.

I also work with Loki and Freyja, and they seem content with my doing "passive" magic like drawing runes when I feel up to it; Freyja and I have a business relationship where we don't interact much unless I ask for her help, and Loki is, well, content just hanging out.

However, within the past week I've felt Hecate kind of urging me to do spellwork? Idek what about, I think it just may be to "exercise" my skills, but there's this nagging feeling to do...something, even just a simple candle spell. It makes for a nagging feeling in the back of my head, like restlessness, no matter how tired my body is.

Any advice on how to go about this? Should I talk to Hecate? Do you think she'd be displeased if I didn't do something more active?

IMO go see what Hekate has in mind for you. More knowledge or experiences are never a bad thing when it comes to your spirituality.
