Now, I know that several really well know bloggers have done posts on
Spoonie Witchcraft, but I wanted to do my own just to kind of interject
my own personal experiences and my ideas/spells and such.
The Spoon Theory//
Who is a Spoonie?
A
Spoonie is someone who has a chronic illness that interferes with their ability to
function on a day to day level. Those of us with chronic illnesses,
mental or physical, oftentimes do not have the energy to
perform magical spells or rituals. An example of people who may
identify as Spoonies are those with neurodivergencies (Ex. Autism,
Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, DID, BPD, etc) and those with chronic
physical illnesses (Ex. Autism, Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism,
Endometriosis, Cancer, Chronic Fatique Syndrome, Crohns, etc).
Spoon Levels//
Critical: One to no spoons. No energy to do anything. Can barely get out of bed.
Low: Two or three spoons. Can do basic daily tasks such as showering and
getting dressed but anything else is a desperate struggle. This is where
I live most of the time.
Average: Four spoons. Doing fine, energy levels are tolerable. Can accomplish daily tasks with less difficulty.
Lots
of Spooons!: Spoon levels at maximum! Completing big tasks such as
work, doctors visits, phone calls, paying bills and such comes easily. I
can’t even remember the last time I had max spoons lmao.
Spoon Levels and Magic//
Critical: No magic today. Use what little spoons you have to eat food and drink water.
Daydream. Dreaming in general has a lot of power and needs little to no input on your part.
Drink herbal tea or water to cleanse yourself.
Low: Little things, such as maybe drawing a sigil or speaking a phrase to cast a spell. (words have power, after all)
Draw sigils that have already been created. The act of drawing them itself is how it can be activated.
Lots!:
Big rituals can be completed, and its probably a good idea to stockpile
and get a lot done while you have the energy. Create a bunch of sigils
and enchant a bunch of items that can easily be used with an activation
word or trigger for when you are low on spoons.
